Light‐Switchable Oxygen Vacancies in Ultrafine Bi<sub>5</sub>O<sub>7</sub>Br Nanotubes for Boosting Solar‐Driven Nitrogen Fixation in Pure Water

Solar‐driven reduction of dinitrogen (N 2 ) to ammonia (NH 3 ) is severely hampered by the kinetically complex and energetically challenging multielectron reaction. Oxygen vacancies (OVs) with abundant localized electrons on the surface of bismuth oxybromide‐based semiconductors are demonstrated to have the ability to capture and activate N 2 , providing an alternative pathway to overcome such limitations. However, bismuth oxybromide materials are susceptible to photocorrosion, and the surface OVs are easily oxidized and therefore lose their activities. For realistic photocatalytic N 2 fixation, fabricating and enhancing the stability of sustainable OVs on semiconductors is indispensable. This study shows the first synthesis of self‐assembled 5 nm diameter Bi 5 O 7 Br nanotubes with strong nanotube structure, suitable absorption edge, and many exposed surface sites, which are favorable for furnishing sufficient visible light‐induced OVs to realize excellent and stable photoreduction of atmospheric N 2 into NH 3 in pure water. The NH 3 generation rate is as high as 1.38 mmol h −1 g −1 , accompanied by an apparent quantum efficiency over 2.3% at 420 nm. The results presented herein provide new insights into rational design and engineering for the creation of highly active catalysts with light‐switchable OVs toward efficient, stable, and sustainable visible light N 2 fixation in mild conditions.

Nitrogen‐Doped Graphene Foams as Metal‐Free Counter Electrodes in High‐Performance Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

Efficient without metal: Nitrogen-doped graphene foams with a nitrogen content up to 7.6 % have been prepared and used as counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs; see picture). The doping with nitrogen leads to a power conversion efficiency of 7.07 %. This is one of the highest values reported for DSSCs with carbon-based metal-free counter electrodes.
