Abstract

• Reduced graphene oxide assisted g-C 3 N 4 /rGO/NiAl-LDHs type II heterostructure is fabricated. • The composite exhibits excellent photocatalytic CO 2 reduction activity. • DFT calculation explores the possible mechanism. • rGO could act as an electron transfer bridge to facilitate the charge separation. Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction has been considered as a potential way to solve the energy problem and the greenhouse effect. In this work, layered g-C 3 N 4 /rGO/NiAl-LDHs heterojunctions were prepared by using a hydrothermal method, the optimized composite exhibited enhanced photocatalytic CO 2 reduction to CO (2.6 μmol h -1 g -1 ) and CH 4 (20 μmol h -1 g -1 ) activity, which was 3.7 and 14.2 times higher than that of pure g-C 3 N 4 , respectively. According to the experimental and density functional theory calculation (DFT) results, it is believed that with the large contact interface and excellent electron mobility rGO could act as an electron transfer bridge to facilitate the rapid charge migration and separation between g-C 3 N 4 and NiAl-LDHs. Thus, driven by the internal electric field, interfacial band edge bending, as well as the type II heterostructure, the activity of g-C 3 N 4 /rGO/NiAl-LDHs could be greatly enhanced. This work provides a possible way to rational design and fabrication of rGO-assisted composite systems with type II, Schottky, S-scheme, P-N and other heterojunctions.
