<p>Developing robust, multifunctional photocatalysts that can facilitate both hydrogen evolution via photoreforming of water and gas phase CO2 photoreduction is highly desirable with the long-term vision of integrated photocatalytic setups. Here, we present a new addition to the boron nitride (BN) photocatalyst material platform, boron-doped boron oxynitride (B-BNO), capable of fulfilling this goal. Detailed EPR studies revealed hyperfine interactions between free charges located on discrete OB3 sites, exhibiting an out-of-plane symmetry, and the nuclei of neighbouring boron atoms. This material resolves two long-standing bottlenecks associated to BN-based materials concomitantly: instability in water and lack of photo activity under visible light. We show that B-BNO maintains prolonged stability in water for at least three straight days and can facilitate both liquid phase H2 evolution and gas phase CO2 photoreduction, using UV-Vis and deep visible irradiation (λ > 550 nm), without any cocatalysts. The evolution rates, apparent quantum yields, and selectivities observed for both reactions with B-BNO exceed those of its porous BNO counterpart, P25 TiO2 and bulk g-C3N4. This work provides scope to expand the BN photocatalyst platform to a wider range of reactions.</p>

<p>Developing robust, multifunctional photocatalysts that can facilitate both hydrogen evolution <i>via</i> photoreforming of water and gas phase CO<sub>2</sub> photoreduction is highly desirable with the long-term vision of integrated photocatalytic setups. Here, we present a step-change in the family of boron oxynitride materials by introducing the first example of a B-doped boron oxynitride (B-BNO). This material resolves an on-going bottleneck associated with BN-based materials, i.e. the lack of photoactivity under visible light. Detailed EPR studies revealed distinct hyperfine interactions between the free oxygen radicals and 3 neighbouring boron nuclei. This confirmed isolated OB<sub>3 </sub>sites, which contribute to band gap narrowing, as the radical species and origin of paramagnetism in BNO materials. We show that B-BNO can facilitate both liquid phase H<sub>2 </sub>evolution and gas phase CO<sub>2</sub> photoreduction, using UV-Vis and deep visible irradiation (λ > 550 nm), without any co-catalysts. The evolution rates, quantum efficiencies, and selectivities observed for both reactions with B-BNO exceed those of its porous BNO counterpart, P25 TiO<sub>2</sub> and bulk g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>.</p>

Perovskite CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as promising candidates for photocatalytic reduction of CO2. However, the CO2 conversion efficiency by pristine CsPbBr3 is still unsatisfactory, mainly due to severe radiative...
