Abstract:
Heterojunction engineering is a powerful approach for improving the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers. In this study, ultrathin 2D/2D CeVO4/WO3 center dot H2O heterojunction nanosheets are synthesized via electrostatic self-assembly of ultrathin CeVO4 (similar to 1.3 nm) and WO3 center dot H2O (similar to 2.4 nm) nanosheets for greatly enhancing photocatalytic CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation performance. The 2D heterojunction nanosheets process a Z-scheme charge transfer pathway to effectively promote charge separation efficiency and superior redox capabilities. Concurrently, the ultrathin heterojunction configuration substantially reduces the migration distance of charge carriers. These synergistic effects endow the CeVO4/WO3 center dot H2O composite with the marked CH4 and CO production rates of 8.4 mu mol center dot g(-1)center dot h(-1) and 38.5 mu mol center dot g(-1)center dot h(-1) under full-spectrum illumination. The CO generation rate of the ultrathin heterojunction surpasses pure WO3 center dot H2O by similar to 32 times and CeVO4 by similar to 18 times. This study also provides insights into the rational design of heterojunction nanosheet photocatalysts for CO2 reduction with H2O.
