Abstract:
Energy level engineering is a powerful technique to tune the electron transport and the photocatalytic properties of photocatalyst. Here, we successfully prepared Cu2ZnSnS4 nanosheet photocatalysts with low-valence Sn2+ and high-valence Cu2+ self-codoping by solvothermal method. The band gap energy level and Fermi level of Cu2ZnSnS4 nanosheets can be adjusted by controlling Sn2+ and Cu2+ self-codoping at different solvothermal temperature. This leads to semiconductor behavior change from p-type of the intrinsic Cu2ZnSnS4 to the n-type of self-codoped sample. The n-type Cu2ZnSnS4 nanosheets exhibit a good CO2 photoreduction performance to yield 48.14 and 25.04 μmol g-1 h-1 of CO and CH4, where CO yields on n-type Cu2ZnSnS4 is about 4 times higher than that on the intrinsic Cu2ZnSnS4. This work offers a versatile approach of different valence metal ion self-codoping to engineer the energy level of multimetal semiconductor photocatalyst. © 2022 American Chemical Society.
