Abstract
Herein, novel mesoporous CdS nanoparticle (NP)-incorporated porous g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets with large surface areas and varying CdS NP percentages were constructed for the first time. The synergistic effect of mesoporous CdS NPs and porous g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets indicated effective charge carrier separation and promoted CO 2 photoreduction to form CH 3 OH upon illumination. The highest yield of CH 3 OH over 3% CdS-g-C 3 N 4 heterostructures was determined to be approximately 1735 μmol g −1 , which was 3.8- and 5.50 times greater than those of mesoporous CdS NPs and pristine g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets, respectively. In addition, the mesoporous 3%CdS-g-C 3 N 4 heterostructure showed an outstandingly enhanced CO 2 photoreduction rate of 192.7 μmol g −1 h −1 , which was estimated to be ~4.1 and 5.9- times better than CdS (47.1 μmol g −1 h −1 ) and pristine g-C 3 N 4 (32.6 μmol g −1 h −1 ), respectively. The photoreduction performance was retained at approximately 94.7% after five cycles of illumination for 45 h. The remarkable synthesized mesoporous CdS-g-C 3 N 4 heterostructure played an essential role, with its narrow bandgap and high surface area enabling improved photoinduced carrier separation and a widened range of light absorption. A plausible mechanism for CO 2 photoreduction by the mesoporous CdS-g-C 3 N 4 heterostructure was proposed and verified by photoelectrochemical and photoluminescence measurements.
