Title: 2D Covalent Organic Frameworks as Intrinsic Photocatalysts for Visible Light-Driven CO ₂ Reduction

Abstract

Covalent organic framework (COF) represents an emerging class of porous materials that have exhibited great potential in various applications, particularly in catalysis. Here, we report a newly designed 2D COF with incorporated Re complex, which exhibits intrinsic light absorption and charge separation (CS) properties. We show that this hybrid catalyst can efficiently reduce CO ₂ to form CO under visible light illumination with high electivity (98%) and better activity than its homogeneous Re counterpart. Moreover, using advanced transient optical and X-ray absorption spectroscopy and in situ diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, we unraveled three key intermediates that are responsible for CS, the induction period, and rate limiting step in catalysis. This work not only demonstrates the potential of COFs as next generation photocatalysts for solar fuel conversion but also provide unprecedented insight into the mechanistic origins for light-driven CO ₂ reduction.

Preparation and visible light photocatalytic activity of Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3}/Bi{sub 2}WO{sub 6} heterojunction photocatalysts

Journal Article Mingsheng, Gui ; Zhang Weide, E-mail: zhangwd@scut.edu.cn ; Qingxi, Su ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3}/Bi{sub 2}WO{sub 6} heterojunction photocatalysts were prepared by a two-step solvothermal process using Bi(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}-ethylene glycol solution as Bi source. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy. The heterostructure catalysts are composed of Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3} nanoparticles as modifier and 3D Bi{sub 2}WO{sub 6} microspheres as substrate. Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3} nanoparticles with diameters of about 10-15 nm are tightly grown on the lateral surface of the Bi{sub 2}WO{sub 6} microspheres. The hierarchical Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3}/Bi{sub 2}WO{sub 6} microspheres exhibit higher photocatalytic activity thanmore »« less
Ultrathin Visible-Light-Driven Mo Incorporating In ₂O ₃-ZnIn ₂Se ₄ Z-Scheme Nanosheet Photocatalysts

Journal Article Chao, Yuguang ; Zhou, Peng ; Li, Na ; ... - Advanced Materials

Inspired by natural photosynthesis, the design of new Z-scheme photocatalytic systems is very promising for boosting the photocatalytic performance of H ₂ production and CO ₂ reduction, however, till now the direct synthesis of efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts remains a grand challenge. Herein, we demonstrate an interesting Z-scheme photocatalyst can be constructed by coupling In ₂O ₃ and ZnIn ₂Se ₄ semiconductors based on the theoretical calculations. Experimentally, we make a class of ultrathin In ₂O ₃-ZnIn ₂Se ₄ (donated as In ₂O ₃-ZISe) spontaneous Z-scheme nanosheet photocatalysts for greatly enhancing the photocatalytic H ₂ production. Furthermore, we incorporate Mo atomsmore »« less
