One of the basic challenges of CO2 photoreduction is to develop efficient photocatalysts, and the construction of heterostructure photocatalysts with intimate interfaces is an effective strategy to enhance interfacial charge transfer for realizing high photocatalytic activity. Herein, a novel UiO-66/Bi4O5Br2 heterostructure photocatalyst was constructed by depositing UiO-66 nanoparticles with octahedral morphology over the Bi4O5Br2 nanoflowers assembled from the Bi4O5Br2 nanosheets via an electrostatic self-assembly method. A tight contact interface and a built-in electric field were formed between the UiO-66 and the Bi4O5Br2, which was conducive to the photo-electrons transfer from the Bi4O5Br2 to the UiO-66 and the formation of a type-II heterojunction with highly efficient charge separation. As a result, the UiO-66/Bi4O5Br2 exhibited improved photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance with a CO generation rate of 8.35 μmol h−1 g−1 without using any sacrificial agents or noble co-catalysts. This work illustrates an applicable tactic to develop potent photocatalysts for clean energy conversion.

Abstract The much-needed renewable alternatives to fossil fuel can be achieved efficiently and sustainably by converting solar energy to solar fuels via hydrogen generation from water or CO2 reduction. In this regard, a soft processable metal-organic hybrid semiconducting material has been developed and studied for photocatalytic activity towards H2 production and CO2 reduction to CO and CH4 under visible light and direct sunlight irradiation. A tetrapodal low molecular weight gelator is synthesized by integrating tetrathiafulvalene and terpyridine through amide linkage (TPY-TTF). The TPY-TTF acts as a linker and by self-assembly with ZnII results in a charge-transfer (CT) coordination polymer gel (CPG); Zn-TPY-TTF. The Zn-TPY-TTF shows impressive photocatalytic activity towards H2 production (rate = 530 μmol g-1h-1) and CO2 reduction to CO (rate = 438 μmol g-1h-1, selectivity >99%) regulated by charge-transfer interaction. Furthermore, in-situ stabilization of Pt nanoparticles to CPG (Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF) exhibits remarkably enhanced H2 evolution (rate =14727 μmol g-1h-1). Importantly, Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF modulate the CO2 reduction from CO to CH4 (rate = 292 μmol g-1h-1, selectivity >97%). Real-time CO2 reduction reaction is monitored by in-situ DRIFT study and subsequent plausible mechanism is derived computationally. The photocatalytic activity of Zn-TPY-TTF and Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF composite was also examined under sunlight that display excellent H2 evolution and CO2 reduction.

AbstractThe much-needed renewable alternatives to fossil fuel can be achieved efficiently and sustainably by converting solar energy to fuels via hydrogen generation from water or CO2 reduction. Herein, a soft processable metal-organic hybrid material is developed and studied for photocatalytic activity towards H2 production and CO2 reduction to CO and CH4 under visible light as well as direct sunlight irradiation. A tetrapodal low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) is synthesized by integrating tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and terpyridine (TPY) derivatives through amide linkages and results in TPY-TTF LMWG. The TPY-TTF LMWG acts as a linker, and self-assembly of this gelator molecules with ZnII ions results in a coordination polymer gel (CPG); Zn-TPY-TTF. The Zn-TPY-TTF CPG shows high photocatalytic activity towards H2 production (530 μmol g−1h−1) and CO2 reduction to CO (438 μmol g−1h−1, selectivity > 99%) regulated by charge-transfer interactions. Furthermore, in situ stabilization of Pt nanoparticles on CPG (Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF) enhances H2 evolution (14727 μmol g−1h−1). Importantly, Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF CPG produces CH4 (292 μmol g−1h−1, selectivity > 97%) as CO2 reduction product instead of CO. The real-time CO2 reduction reaction is monitored by in situ DRIFT study, and the plausible mechanism is derived computationally.
