Abstract:
Mimicking natural photosynthesis to convert CO2 and H2O into highly valuable solar fuels is one of the ideal ways to alleviate the energy shortage and environmental pollution. However, the low mobility of photogenerated holes and sluggish H2O oxidation half reaction seriously retard the reduction efficiency of CO2 by photocatalysis. In this paper, we reported that the visible light-active SiC photocatalyst was inserted into the InVO4 nanoflower framework to form the dual Z-scheme heterojunction composited photocatalyst. The composited photocatalysts can not only neutralize the low mobility of photogenerated holes on SiC but also improve the H2O oxidation on InVO4 nanoflowers. This leads to an effective conversion of CO2 to CO without sacrificial agents under visible light irradiation as well as a good separation of photogenerated charge carriers in the composited photocatalyst for the subsequent reaction. In comparison to the parent InVO4 and SiC, the optimum CO yields over InVO4/SiC were 9.41 and 11.54 times, respectively. Under 3 h visible light irradiation, the yields of CO reach up to 142.6 mu molg(-1) and stability of O-2 release over InVO4/SiC. This research offers a practical approach to developing an efficient photocatalyst for the conversion of CO2 with H2O.
