Abstract
The photocatalytic conversion of CO2 with H2O over rGO-bridged g-C3N4/ZnV2O6 S-scheme heterojunction using an externally reflected photoreactor has been investigated. The structure and properties of photocatalysts, prepared via the one-pot solvothermal method, were characterized by XRD, RAMAN, FESEM, EDX, HRTEM, UV–vis and PL spectrophotometry. The 4% rGO-bridged g-C3N4/ZnV2O6 (1:1) nanocomposite registered the highest CH3OH yield. The maximum yield of CH3OH over 4% rGO-bridged g-C3N4/ZnV2O6 (1:1) nanocomposite was 6246.1 μmol/g-cat; 1.34 and 1.51 folds higher than g-C3N4/ZnV2O6 (1:1) and ZnV2O6 photocatalysts, respectively. Significant enhancement in quantum efficiency of an externally reflected photoreactor over 4% rGO-bridged g-C3N4/ZnV2O6 (1:1) nanocomposite was observed compared to the slurry photoreactor. This is obviously because of the greater mobility of charges with hindered recombination rate and higher photonic efficiency. The stability of 4% rGO-bridged g-C3N4/ZnV2O6 (1:1) nanocomposite was partially reduced after several cyclic runs. It is believed that the photocatalyst consisting of three components has demonstrated improved photocatalytic activity through a S-scheme mechanism, utilizing rGO as an electron mediator to enhance the overall performance of the S-scheme heterojunction.
