Efficient, stable, and selective photocatalytic conversion of nitric oxide (NO) into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is highly desirable but remains a big challenge. We prepare single atom catalyst (SAC) by anchoring single Pd atoms onto graphitic carbon nitride (CNPd) via chemical impregnation followed by calcination. The prepared CNPd SAC is confirmed by aberration-correction high-angle-annular-dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The synthesized SAC outperforms its competitors reported earlier for photocatalytic removal of NO under visible light and simulated sunlight irradiation in terms of selectivity and stability. The SAC maintains a NO removal efficiency of 83% and an instantaneous selectivity for NO2 of 92.8% over 117.6 h under simulated sunlight with the inlet NO concentration of 12 ppm. This duration is about 23.5 times the longest duration tested for other catalysts in the literature. The experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that single Pd atom promotes the photocatalytic degradation of NO. Moreover, the DFT calculations prove that the nitrate ions that accumulate on the surface of the SAC can react with NO to produce NO2. This reaction enhances the selectivity for NO2 and stability of the SAC.Indexed by:
