Abstract
• Novel porous g-C 3 N 4 /Sn 2 S 3 -DETA composites were obtained. • The composites exhibited excellent photocatalytic CO 2 reduction and stability. • Direct Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism used to explain activity enhancement. • DFT calculation further confirms the presence of direct Z-scheme mechanism. Nowadays, the increasing CO 2 emissions have attracted widespread attentions and it is necessary to reduce CO 2 emissions to solve the global warming problem. So photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 into chemical fuels is a promising strategy. Here, a Z-scheme porous g-C 3 N 4 /Sn 2 S 3 -diethylenetriamine (Pg-C 3 N 4 /Sn 2 S 3 -DETA) composite without an electron intermediary is designed. Photocatalytic performance of the as-fabricated samples is investigated on the basis of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction (PCR) to form CH 4 and CH 3 OH. We find that the Z-scheme heterostructure photocatalysts show a higher PCR performance than Pg-C 3 N 4 and Sn 2 S 3 -DETA. An optimized Pg-C 3 N 4 /Sn 2 S 3 -DETA heterostructure sample displays high CH 4 production rate of 4.84 μmol h −1 g −1 and CH 3 OH-production rate of 1.35 μmol h −1 g −1 with 5% Pg-C 3 N 4 content. The superior PCR performance could be ascribed to the special structure of a direct Z-scheme Pg-C 3 N 4 /Sn 2 S 3 -DETA photocatalyst, which is beneficial to efficient separation of electron-hole pairs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation further confirms the presence of direct Z-scheme mechanism. This Z-scheme heterostructure photocatalyst with superior performance may inaugurate the perspective on a new promising hierarchy of materials on CO 2 photoreduction.
