Abstract:
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion to industrial fuels is considered an effective measure to solve energy and environmental problems. Presently, Catalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) are mostly confined to metal-based materials, but non-metal materials are less explored. We decorate the highly crystalline carbon nitride, i.e., poly (triazine) imides (PTI), with non-metallic boron (B) to obtain two B/PTI catalysts: Bi/PTI with B being deposited into the six-fold cavity of the PTI, and Bs/PTI with B substituting for C in PTI. For CO2RR, Bi/PTI follows a quasi Mars-van Krevelen process, but the high exposure of Bi results in an overly strong interaction with intermediates, inhibiting the reactivity. In contrast, Bs/PTI enhances the binding with intermediates by introducing Lewis acidbase pairs (B-N), which reduce the ring conjugation effect and induce the enrichment of electrons at the pyridine N. Hence, CO2 reduction with the adsorbed H* (Ha) hydrogenation mechanism in Bs/PTI has a significant reactivity.
