Figure Abstract

Caption

The photocatalytic activity for glucose decomposition to C1 chemicals (HCOOH, CO), and H2 on Cu/TiO2 was enhanced by nitrogen doping. Atomically dispersed and stable Cu sites resistant to light irradiation are formed on Cu/N-TiO2. The electronic interaction between Cu and nitrogen ions originates valence band structure and defect levels composed of N 2p orbit, distinct from Cu/TiO2. Therefore, the lifetime of charge carriers is prolonged, resulting in the production of C1 chemicals and H2 enhanced.
