Abstract:
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous materials with enormous potential for realiz-ing solar-driven CO2-to-fuel conversion, yet the sluggish transfer/separation of photoinduced electrons and holes remains a compelling challenge. Herein, a step (S)-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst (CuWO4-COF) was rationally fabricated by a thermal annealing method for boosting CO2 conversion to CO. The optimal CuWO4/COF composite sample, integrating 10 wt% CuWO4 with an olefin (CC) linked COF (TTCOF), achieved a remarkable gas-solid phase CO yield as high as 7.17 +/- 0.35 lmol g-1h-1 under visible light irradiation, which was significantly higher than the pure COF (1.6 +/- 0.29 lmol g-1h-1). The enhanced CO2 conversion rate could be attributable to the interface engineering effect and the formation of internal electric field (IEF) directing from TTCOF to CuWO4 according to the theoretical calculation and experimental results, which also proves the electrons transfer from TTCOF to CuWO4 upon hybridization. In addition, driven by the IEF, the photoinduced electrons can be steered from CuWO4 to TTCOF under visible light irradiation as well-elucidated by in-situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, verify-ing the S-scheme charge transfer pathway over CuWO4/COF composite heterojunctions, which greatly foster the photoreduction activity of CO2. The preparation technique of the S-scheme heterojunction pho-tocatalyst in this study provides a paradigmatic protocol for photocatalytic solar fuel generation. (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.
