“Electron collector” Bi19S27Br3 nanorod-enclosed BiOBr nanosheet for efficient CO2 photoconversion

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(21)64037-8

Abstract

Abstract:

Although CO₂ photoreduction is a promising method for solar-to-fuel conversion, it suffers from low charge transfer efficiency of the photocatalysts. To improve the CO₂ photoreduction performance, introduction of electron-accumulated materials on the photocatalyst surface is considered an effective method. In this study, the Bi₁₉S₂₇Br₃/BiOBr composites were designed and synthesized. The Bi₁₉S₂₇Br₃ nanorod in this photocatalytic system acts as an electron-accumulated active site for extracting the photogenerated electrons on the BiOBr surface and for effectively activating the CO₂ molecules. As a result, Bi₁₉S₂₇Br₃/BiOBr composites exhibit the higher charge carrier transfer efficiency and further improves the CO₂ photoreduction performance relative to that of pure Bi₁₉S₂₇Br₃ and BiOBr. The rate of CO formation using Bi₁₉S₂₇Br₃/BiOBr-5 is about 8.74 and 2.40 times that using Bi₁₉S₂₇Br₃ and BiOBr, respectively. This work provides new insights for the application of Bi₁₉S₂₇Br₃ as an electron-accumulating site for achieving high photocatalytic CO₂ reduction performance in the future.
