Abstract
rGO modified g-C 3 N 4 /R-CeO 2 Multi-interface contact S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst maximizes the transfer efficiency of photogenerated electron and the CO 2 adsorption ability, thus greatly improving the CO 2 photoreduction performance. • 2D-1D-2D g-C 3 N 4 /R-CeO 2 /rGO photocatalyst has been prepared for CO 2 photoreduction. • 2D-1D-2D multi-interface contact structure is of help for carrier transfer process. • π-π conjugation effect and Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ transformation facilitate electron transmission. • In-situ FTIR and 13 C isotope tracer tests analysis the CO 2 photoreduction mechanism. Construction of multi-interface contact step-scheme (S-scheme) photocatalyst is a promising pathway to achieve high-electron transfer efficiency for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. In this paper, g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were selected as the main photocatalyst, rod-like CeO 2 (R-CeO 2 ) with unique Ce 4+ →Ce 3+ conversion property and rGO were loaded on the g-C 3 N 4 surface to construct 2D-1D-2D sandwich photocatalyst. The yields of CO and CH 4 were about 63.18 and 32.67 μmol/g after 4 h when the rGO/R-CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 was used as catalyst, which were about 4 and 6 times higher than that of pure CN, respectively. Cyclic experiments proved that the composite had excellent photocatalytic and material stability. Photoelectrochemical tests showed that the construction of S-scheme electron transfer model and the introduction of rGO can great enhance the electron transmission and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. CO 2 adsorption test identified that the loading of R-CeO 2 and rGO obviously enhanced the CO 2 adsorption ability of pure g-C 3 N 4 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations used to analyze the electron transfer path and the formation of the build-in electric field at the semiconductor interface. In-situ FTIR and 13 CO 2 element-tracer detection carried out to research the process of CO 2 photoreduction. A possible multi-interface contact S-scheme electron transfer mechanism for enhanced CO 2 photoreduction activity has been discussed.
