Selective solar-driven CO2 reduction mediated by 2D/2D Bi2O2SiO3/MXene nanosheets heterojunction

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2021.10.059

Abstract

Abstract:

Photocatalytic CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) is an environment-friendly technique for clean fuel generation. Developing low-cost and efficient photocatalyst/cocatalyst systems for boosting CO₂RR is still a challenge. Herein, a novel Bi₂O₂SiO₃/Ti₃C₂ 2D/2D heterojunction photocatalysts are successfully prepared by in situ growth of Bi₂O₂SiO₃ on the surface of ultrathin Ti₃C₂ nanosheets, a kind of MXenes. The observed Bi₂O₂SiO₃/Ti₃C₂ (BOSO/TC-2) hybrids exhibit a large interface contact area companied with enhanced CO₂ adsorption capability, illustrating excellent 2D/2D interfacial charge transfer behaviors. The total yield of products obtained on the optimized BOSO/TC-2 photocatalyst is 3.8 times that of pristine Bi₂O₂SiO₃ nanosheets and achieve near 90% selectivity for CO over CH₃OH without sacrificial agents, which was higher than most all inorganic Bi-based photocatalysts. Moreover, the mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic activity and reaction pathway was proposed in terms of the DFT study and in situ FTIR analysis. This work might provide new semiconductor/cocatalyst systems for selective CO₂ photoreduction to solar fuels.
