Simultaneous reductive and oxidative photocatalytic nitrogen fixation in hydrous iron(III) oxide loaded nation films in aerated water
Abstract
It is found that Nafion films loaded with quantum sized particles of hydrous iron(III) oxide, immersed in aerated water at alkaline pH fix nitrogen, reductively and oxidatively at the same time, in a novel photocatalytic reaction which is facilitated by the Nafion polymer matrix.
