Abstract:
Rational design of heterojunctions as photocatalysts that can help alleviate the energy and environmental crisis relies on the efficient electron transfer to the catalytically active sites. In this work, a robust metal-organic framework (MOF)-based heterostructured catalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) was reported, taking advantage of a synergy effect between ultrathin (1.5 nm thickness) Ni-rich Ni(OH)(2) nanosheets (NSs) and the highly stable and conductive Fe-rich Prussian blue (PB). This Ni(OH)(2)/PB photocatalyst can attain an optimal CO evolution rate of 108.8 mmol h(-1) g(-1) and a high CO selectivity (88.2-95.0%) in the CRR. The stable PB helps atomically thin Ni(OH)(2) NSs to be well dispersed and exposed in the heterojunction. A built-in electric field found at the interface of the bulk-sized PB and the ultrathin Ni(OH)(2) further directs the electron transfer. Intriguingly, the conductive PB can quickly capture the electrons from the Ru-based photosensitizer and then rapidly sends them to the CRR-active Ni(OH)(2) in the Z-scheme Ni(OH)(2)/PB system, accounting for its high efficiency and high selectivity over CO2 reduction into CO. The findings underline the versatility and the mechanistic response of MOFs in constructing advanced catalysts.
