Abstract:
Promising semiconductor-based photocatalysis toward achieving efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion is an ideal strategy in response to the growing worldwide energy crisis, which however is often practically limited by the insufficient photoinduced charge-carrier separation. Here, a rational cascade engineering of Au nanoparticles (NPs) decorated 2D/2D Bi2WO6–TiO2 (B–T) binanosheets to foster the photocatalytic efficiency through the manipulated flow of multichannel-enhanced charge-carrier separation and transfer is reported. Mechanistic characterizations and control experiments, in combination with comparative studies over plasmonic Au/Ag NPs and nonplasmonic Pt NPs decorated 2D/2D B–T composites, together demonstrate the cooperative synergy effect of multiple charge-carrier transfer channels in such binanosheets-based ternary composites, including Z-scheme charge transfer, 'electron sink,' and surface plasmon resonance effect, which integratively leads to the boosted photocatalytic performance. © 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
