Multidimensional In2O3/In2S3 heterojunction with lattice distortion for CO2 photoconversion

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(21)63954-2

Abstract

Abstract:

Photocatalytic CO₂ reduction to sustainably product of fuels is a potential route to achieve clean energy conversion. Unfortunately, the sluggish charge transport dynamics and poor CO₂ activation performance result in a low CO₂ conversion efficiency. Herein, we develop a multidimensional In₂O₃/In₂S₃ (IO/IS) heterojunction with abundant lattice distortion structure and high concentration of oxygen defects. The close contact interfaces between the junction of the two phases ensure undisturbed transmission of electrons with high-speed. The increased free electron concentration promotes the adsorption and activation of CO₂ on the catalyst surface, leaving the key intermediate *COOH at a lower energy barrier. The perfect combination of the band matching oxide and sulfide effectively reduces the internal energy barrier of the CO₂ reduction reaction. Furthermore, the lattice distortion structure not only provides additional active sites, but also optimizes the kinetics of the reaction through microstructural regulation. Remarkably, the optimal IO/IS heterojunction exhibits superior CO₂ reduction performance with CO evolution rate of 12.22 μmol g^-1 h^-1, achieving about 4 times compared to that of In₂O₃ and In₂S₃, respectively. This work emphasizes the importance of tight interfaces of heterojunction in improving the performance of CO₂ photoreduction, and provides an effective strategy for construction of heterojunction photocatalysts.
