Abstract:
Converting clean solar energy into chemical energy through artificial photosynthesis is an effective solution to solve the energy and environmental issues. Here, we report a Cs3Bi2Br9/Bi2WO6 (CBB/BWO) Z-scheme heterojunction constructed via electrostatic self-assembly, which facilitates efficient separation of photogenerated carriers and ensures the corresponding redox capacity of both components. By sharing Bi atoms, a Br−Bi−O bond is established between CBB and BWO, serving as an “electron bridge”. The electrons generated by BWO are efficiently channeled to CBB through the heterojunction-formed “electron bridge”, thereby achieving effective photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Under simulated sunlight conditions, it exhibits the highest CO yield of 72.52 μmol g−1 (without the addition of any precious metal, photosensitizers or sacrifices), which is approximately 7-fold and 18-fold greater than that of pure CBB and BWO, respectively. This work provides a more profound comprehension of the regulation of electron transfer through interfacial chemical bonds, thereby proposing a promising strategy for the development of efficient heterojunction photocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction. © 2024 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
