Coupling Benzylamine Oxidation with CO2 Photoconversion to Ethanol over a Black Phosphorus and Bismuth Tungstate S-Scheme Heterojunction

Photoconversion of CO₂ and H₂O into ethanol is an ideal strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the production of ethanol with high activity and selectivity is challenging owing to the less efficient reduction half-reaction involving multi-step proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), a slow C−C coupling process, and sluggish water oxidation half-reaction. Herein, a two-dimensional/two-dimensional (2D/2D) S-scheme heterojunction consisting of black phosphorus and Bi₂WO₆ (BP/BWO) was constructed for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction coupling with benzylamine (BA) oxidation. The as-prepared BP/BWO catalyst exhibits a superior photocatalytic performance toward CO₂ reduction, with a yield of 61.3 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ for ethanol (selectivity of 91 %).In situ spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations reveal that S-scheme heterojunction can effectively promote photogenerated carrier separation via the Bi−O−P bridge to accelerate the PCET process. Meanwhile, electron-rich BP acts as the active site and plays a vital role in the process of C−C coupling. In addition, the substitution of BA oxidation for H₂O oxidation can further enhance the photocatalytic performance of CO₂ reduction to C₂H₅OH. This work opens a new horizon for exploring novel heterogeneous photocatalysts in CO₂ photoconversion to C₂H₅OH based on cooperative photoredox systems.     

Designing a 0D/2D S-Scheme Heterojunction over Polymeric Carbon Nitride for Visible-Light Photocatalytic Inactivation of Bacteria

Constructing heterojunctions between two semiconductors with matched band structure is an effective strategy to acquire high-efficiency photocatalysts. The S-scheme heterojunction system has shown great potential in facilitating separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers, as well as acquiring strong photoredox ability. Herein, a 0D/2D S-Scheme heterojunction material involving CeO₂ quantum dots and polymeric carbon nitride (CeO₂/PCN) is designed and constructed by in situ wet chemistry with subsequent heat treatment. This S-scheme heterojunction material shows high-efficiency photocatalytic sterilization rate (88.1 %) towards Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) under visible-light irradiation (λ≥420 nm), which is 2.7 and 8.2 times that of pure CeO₂ (32.2 %) and PCN (10.7 %), respectively. Strong evidence of S-scheme charge transfer path is verified by theoretical calculations, in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance.

Construction of CoS2/Zn0.5Cd0.5S S-Scheme Heterojunction for Enhancing H2 Evolution Activity Under Visible Light

In the field of photocatalysis, building a heterojunction is an effective way to promote electron transfer and enhance the reducibility of electrons. Herein, the S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst (CoS₂/Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S) of CoS₂ nanospheres modified Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S solid solution was synthesized and studied. The H₂ evolution rate of the composite catalyst reached 25.15 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹, which was 3.26 times that of single Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S, whereas pure CoS₂ showed almost no hydrogen production activity. Moreover, CoS₂/Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S had excellent stability and the hydrogen production rate after six cycles of experiments only dropped by 6.19 %. In addition, photoluminescence spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical experiments had effectively proved that the photogenerated carrier transfer rate of CoS₂/Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S was better than CoS₂ or Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S single catalyst. In this study, the synthesized CoS₂ and Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S were both n-type semiconductors. After close contact, they followed an S-scheme heterojunction electron transfer mechanism, which not only promoted the separation of their respective holes and electrons, but also retained a stronger reduction potential, thus promoting the reduction of H⁺ protons in photocatalytic experiments. In short, this work provided a new basis for the construction of S-scheme heterojunction in addition to being used for photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Facilely anchoring Cu2O nanoparticles on mesoporous TiO2 nanorods for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction through efficient charge transfer

Semiconductor-employed photocatalytic CO₂ reduction has been regarded as a promising approach for environmental-friendly conversion of CO₂ into solar fuels. Herein, TiO₂/Cu₂O composite nanorods have been successfully fabricated by a facile chemical reduction method and applied for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction. The composition and structure characterization indicates that the Cu₂O nanoparticles are coupled with TiO₂ nanorods with an intimate contact. Under light illumination, all the TiO₂/Cu₂O composite nanorods enhance the photocatalytic CO₂ reduction. In particular, the TiO₂/Cu₂O-15% sample exhibits the highest CH₄ yield (1.35 µmol g^-1 h^-1) within 4 h irradiation, and it is 3.07 and 15 times higher than that of pristine TiO₂ nanorods and Cu₂O nanoparticles, respectively. The enhanced photoreduction capability of the TiO₂/Cu₂O-15% is attributed to the intimate construction of Cu₂O nanoparticles on TiO₂ nanorods with formed p-n junction to accelerate the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. This work provides a reference for rational design of a p-n heterojunction photocatalyst for CO₂ photoreduction.

Bi₂MoO₆/BiVO₄样品光催化性能提高的原因是Bi₂MoO₆和BiVO₄形成异质结, 从而有效抑制光生电子-空穴对的复合, 增大了可见光吸收范围及比表面积.     

Verifying the Charge-Transfer Mechanism in S-Scheme Heterojunctions Using Femtosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

The S-scheme heterojunction is flourishing in photocatalysis because it concurrently realizes separated charge carriers and sufficient redox ability. Steady-state charge transfer has been confirmed by other methods. However, an essential part, the transfer dynamics in S-scheme heterojunctions, is still missing. To compensate, a series of cadmium sulfide/pyrene-alt-difluorinated benzothiadiazole heterojunctions were constructed and the photophysical processes were investigated with femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Encouragingly, an interfacial charge-transfer signal was detected in the spectra of the heterojunction, which provides solid evidence for S-scheme charge transfer to complement the results from well-established methods. Furthermore, the lifetime for interfacial charge transfer was calculated to be ca. 78.6 ps. Moreover, the S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts exhibit higher photocatalytic conversion of 1,2-diols and H₂ production rates than bare cadmium sulfide.

层状双氢氧化物(LDH)的光生电子-空穴对易复合,虽然纳米薄片的结构促进了载流子分离,但其光催化效率仍然较低。我们利用LDH薄片结构的优势,将FeNi LDH和TiO₂通过静电自组装复合,设计制备出新型高效的FeNi LDH/TiO₂复合光催化材料,评价了其光催化分解水产氢性能。对其结构、光催化性能和光电化学等进行了详细表征。结果表明,FeNi LDH的高比表面积、复合物的异质结结构都有利于光生电荷的转移。光催化产氢结果表明,FeNi LDH/TiO₂复合材料的产氢速率(22.6mmol·g^-1·h^-1)分别比纯TiO₂(0.1 mmol·g^-1·h^-1)和FeNi LDH(0.05 mmol·g^-1·h^-1)提高了226和452倍,表明了异质结在提高LDH光催化效率方面的重要作用。

Efficient CO2 Capture and Photoreduction by Amine‐Functionalized TiO2

Amine‐functionalization of TiO₂ nanoparticles, through a solvothermal approach, substantially increases the affinity of CO₂ on TiO₂ surfaces through chemisorption. This chemisorption allows for more effective activation of CO₂ and charge transfer from excited TiO₂, and significantly enhances the photocatalytic rate of CO₂ reduction into methane and CO.     

In situ preparation of polymeric cobalt phthalocyanine–decorated TiO2 nanorods for efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction

The integration of photosensitizers with low-cost and non-toxic metal oxides is a promising strategy to design heterogeneous photocatalysts for CO₂ reduction. Herein, p–n heterojunction photocatalysts (T-CoPPcs) consisting of p-type polymeric cobalt phthalocyanines (CoPPcs) as a photosensitizer coupled with n-type TiO₂ nanorods were fabricated through a facile, eco-friendly, one-pot hydrothermal reaction. In this process, CoPPcs were grown on n-type TiO₂ nanorods, whereas protonated titanate nanorods began converting to the highly crystalline anatase phase with small crystals on the TiO₂ surfaces. The introduction of CoPPcs not only improved the solar light utilization but also accelerated the separation and migration of charge carriers via the p–n heterojunction with the strong interfacial contact Ti–O–Co bond. The increases in crystallinity and surface area of TiO₂ nanorods also contributed to the enhanced photoactivities of T-CoPPcs. The CO₂ photoreduction of the synthesized materials was evaluated in CO₂-saturated MeCN/water using [Co(bpy)₃]²⁺ as a cocatalyst and triethanolamine as a hole scavenger. The optimized nanocomposite exhibited a remarkable CO generation rate of 4.42 mmol/h/g with a high selectivity of 85.3% and outstanding catalytic stability. The influences of cocatalyst concentration, water content, catalyst loading, and hole scavenger concentration were optimized for efficient CO₂ reduction. The photocatalytic CO₂ conversion efficiency of the present system is found to be higher than that of TiO₂-based materials reported in the literature. We believe that this research into a heterostructural design strategy and photocatalytic system may be an inspiration for the development of photocatalytic CO₂-to-CO conversion.

Z-scheme heterojunction of SnS2-decorated 3DOM-SrTiO3 for selectively photocatalytic CO2 reduction into CH4

The rapid recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs as well as the deficiency of high-energy carriers restricted the redox ability and products selectivity. Herein, the heterojunction of SnS₂-decorated three-dimensional ordered macropores (3DOM)-SrTiO₃ catalysts were in-situ constructed to provide transmit channel for high-energy electron transmission. The suitable band edges of SnS₂ and SrTiO₃ contribute to the Z-scheme transfer of photogenerated carrier. The 3DOM structure of SrTiO₃-based catalyst possesses the slow light effect for enhancing light adsorption efficiency, and the surface alkalis strontium is benefit to the boosting adsorption for CO₂. The in-situ introduced SnS₂ decorated on the macroporous wall surface of 3DOM-SrTiO₃ altered the primary product from CO to CH₄. The Z-scheme electron transfer from SnS₂ combining with the holes in SrTiO₃ occurred under full spectrum photoexcitation, which improved the excitation and utilization of photogenerated electrons for CO₂ multi-electrons reduction. As a result, (SnS₂)₃/3DOM-SrTiO₃ catalyst exhibits higher activity for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction to CH₄ compared with single SnS₂ or 3DOM-SrTiO₃, i.e., its yield and selectivity of CH₄ are 12.5 μmol g^-1 h^-1 and 74.9%, respectively. The present work proposed the theoretical foundation of Z-scheme heterojunction construction for enhancing photocatalytic activity and selectivity for CO₂ conversion.     

Covalent coupling promoting charge transport of CdSeTe/UiO-66 for boosting photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Quantum dots (QDs) based heterojunction is a candidate for the photocatalytic CO₂ reduction, owing to the large extinction coefficient and easy modification of band structures. However, the van der Waals interaction causes the large charge resistance and strong recombination centers between QDs and host materials, which makes the poor photocatalytic performance. Herein, a covalent bonded CdSeTe QDs and NH₂-UiO-66 heterojunction (NUC-x) is constructed through an acylamino (-CONH-). The results indicate that the acylamino between NH₂-UiO-66 and CdSeTe QDs can serve as the transfer channels for the photogenerated charges and stabilize the QDs. The optimized NUC-1200 achieved a CO generation rate of 228.68 µmol/g, which is 13 and 4 times higher than that of NH₂-UiO-66 and CdSeTe QDs, respectively. This work provides a new avenue for efficient and stable photocatalysis of QDs.

有机胺表面修饰的一维CdSe0.8S0.2-DETA/二维SnNb2O6S型异质结及其可见光光催化CO2还原性能

近年来,随着人口的增加,汽车尾气的排放和化石燃料的燃烧加剧,大气中的二氧化碳含量持续增加.光催化技术是根本上解决上述问题的有效方法之一.但目前光催化技术存在催化效率低、载流子易复合等缺点.二维SnNb₂O₆纳米片能够有效缩短光生电子从材料内部到材料表面的传输距离,减少电子和空穴在光催化剂中的复合.但SnNb₂O₆的带隙较宽,导致可见光吸收率较低,而且在单一的半导体材料中,强氧化还原能力和高可见光吸收能力难以共存.CdSe_xS_1-x-DETA是一种直接带隙半导体,在可见光范围内可调节带隙.为了提高SnNb₂O₆的光催化活性和光吸收范围,在两种半导体材料之间设计异质结是一种有效的方法.其中,梯型(S型)异质结可以有效促进光生电子-空穴对的分离和转移,并保持强大的氧化和还原能力,在有效降低电子空穴对的复合速率的同时,增强光催化剂的活性和稳定性.本文通过溶剂热法设计制备了S型Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA/SnNb₂O₆异质结构材料,利用X射线衍射(XRD)可以观察到除Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA和SnNb₂O₆物相外,没有其它组分.采用扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜(TEM)进一步观察了光催化剂的结构和形貌,结果表明,一维的Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA生长在二维SnNb₂O₆纳米片上;能谱分析也证实该催化剂仅包含Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA和SnNb₂O₆中的元素,无其它杂质;TEM的晶格条纹进一步表明两种物质是复合在一起的,不是机械的混合物.紫外可见光漫反射光谱(UV-Vis)结果表明,Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA和SnNb₂O₆的吸收带边分别为1.71和2.52 e V.随着复合样品中Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA含量的增加,其可见光吸收范围增大.光电流和阻抗响应图谱表明,Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA/SnNb₂O₆复合材料具有较高的光响应和较低的阻抗,有利于电子空穴的运输.光催化CO₂还原测试结果表明,30%Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA/SnNb₂O₆催化CO₂还原生成CO的产率(17.31μmol·g^-1·h^-1)最高,分别是SnNb₂O₆(6.2μmol·g^-1·h^-1)和Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA(3.6μmol·g^-1·h^-1)的2.8倍和4.8倍.XRD测试结果表明,反应后光催化剂的与新鲜光催化剂的衍射峰基本相符.催化剂经过4次循环测试后催化性能基本稳定,说明光催化剂具有较好的稳定性.XPS表征结果显示,相对于纯的Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA与SnNb₂O₆,复合材料中Cd,Se与S的结合能降低,周围的电子密度增大,而复合材料中Sn,Nb与O的结合能增加,周围的电子密度降低,这表明电子从SnNb₂O₆到Cd Se_0.8S_0.2-DETA的转移路径遵循S型异质结机理.综上,本文提供了一种简单的制备S型光催化方法,可以优化能带结构以促进光生载流子的分离,从而实现高效率的二氧化碳还原.     

A new semiconductor-based SERS substrate with enhanced charge collection and improved carrier separation: CuO/TiO2 p-n heterojunction

In this paper, CuO/TiO₂ p-n heterojunction was developed as a new surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to magnify Raman signal of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecule. In the heterojunction-molecule system, CuO as an “electron capsule” can not only offer more electrons to inject into the surface state energy level of TiO₂ and consequently bring additional charge transfer, but also improve photogenerated carrier separation efficiency itself due to strong interfacial coupling in the interface of heterojunction, which together boost SERS performance of the heterojunction substrate. As expected, owing to the enhanced charge collection capacity and the improvement of photogenerated carrier separation efficiency derived from internal electric field and strong interface coupling provided in the interface of heterojunction, this substrate exhibits excellent SERS detection sensitivity towards 4-MBA, with a detection limit as low as 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol/L and an enhancement factor of 8.87 × 10⁶.
