In this issue of Chem, Wang and co-workers report the fine-tuning of product selectivity over facet-engineered TiO₂. They evaluate three morphology-controlled TiO₂ nanocrystals in the photocatalytic upgrading of biomass-derived platform compounds in methanol. Hydrogenation and reductive coupling products are produced in high yields over oxygen-vacancy-rich and -vacancy-free TiO₂ surfaces, respectively.

释放生物质精炼厂中光催化剂的潜力

在本期《化学》杂志中，Wang及其同事报告了经过精细加工的TiO ₂的产品选择性的微调。他们评估了三种形态控制的TiO ₂纳米晶体在生物质衍生的平台化合物在甲醇中的光催化升级中的作用。分别在富氧空位和无空位的TiO ₂表面上高产率地生产氢化和还原偶联产物。
