Abstract
Herein, step-scheme (S-scheme) CuBi2O4/CuO (CBO/CuO) composite films were successfully synthesized on glass substrates by the ultra-fast spraying-calcination method. The photocatalytic activities of the obtained materials for CO2 reduction in the presence of H2O vapor were evaluated under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm). Benefiting from the construction of S-scheme heterojunction, the CO, CH4 and O2 yields of the optimal CBO/CuO composite reached 1599.1, 5.1 and 682.2 μmol/m2 after irradiation for 9 h, and the selectivity of the CO product was notably enhanced from below 18.5% to above 98.5% compared with those of the bare samples. In the sixth cycling experiment, the yields of main products decreased by less than 15%, and a high CO selectivity was still kept. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of CO2 reduction was attributed to the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers. Based on the photocatalytic activity, band structure and in situ-XPS results, the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism was conformed. The study provides an insight into the design of S-scheme photocatalysts for selective CO2 conversion.
