Abstract:
Cd1−xZnxS solid solutions with strong light absorption are promising materials for solar-driven CO2 reduction; however, their relatively weak redox ability and intrinsic photo-corrosion limit their further development as a photocatalyst. The addition of a second photocatalyst with a suitable band structure to construct a S-scheme photocatalytic system can solve both problems simultaneously. Here, we report a S-scheme photocatalyst based on the heterostructure of CoTiO3/Cd9.51Zn0.49S10 (abbreviated as CoTiO3/CdZnS) that enables the efficient photocatalytic reduction of CO2. Detailed physicochemical characterization resolves the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism in this composite photocatalyst. With the well-designed structure of particles and desirable band offsets, this hybrid system offers visible light absorption in a broad spectral region, large surface area, strong redox ability, and fast carrier separation and transportation. Under visible-light illumination, the CoTiO3/CdZnS hybrid system displays a CO formation rate of about 11 mmol h−1 g−1 combined with a long-term operational stability. Besides, a high apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 7.27% is realized for the CO2-to-CO reduction reaction by the optimized CoTiO3/CdZnS hybrid under 420 nm monochromatic light irradiation. © 2022
