Photocatalytic conversion of low-concentration CO2 with H2O oxidation indicates an applicable way to achieve sustainable carbon cycling and solve the global warming problem. Enhancing photogenerated charge separation and surface adsorption and catalytic process of photocatalysts is the crucial point to compensate for the mass transfer limitation during low-concentration CO2 conversion. Herein, a highly-crystalline AgxNa1−xTaO3-AgCl heterostructure composite was successfully fabricated via a one-step flux method. The in-situ formation of intimate heterojunction between AgxNa1−xTaO3 and AgCl facilitated the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges. Moreover, the simultaneous introduction of Ag cations and AgCl components promoted the adsorption and activation of CO2 on the photocatalyst surface. When combined with metallic Ag cocatalysts, the AgxNa1−xTaO3-AgCl heterostructure photocatalyst exhibited an improved activity for the overall reaction of CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation at low CO2 concentration condition. The design of photocatalysts active at low CO2 concentration accounts for an alternative way to construct the practical CO2 conversion system in the future.

AgxNa1−xTaO3-AgCl 异质结光催化剂上的低浓度 CO2 转化
低浓度CO 2与H 2 O 氧化的光催化转化为实现可持续碳循环和解决全球变暖问题提供了一种可行的方法。增强光催化剂的光生电荷分离和表面吸附和催化过程是补偿低浓度CO 2转化过程中传质限制的关键点。在此,通过一步助熔剂法成功制备了高度结晶的 Ag x Na 1−x TaO 3 -AgCl 异质结构复合材料。Ag x Na 1−x TaO之间原位形成紧密异质结3和AgCl促进了光生电荷的分离和转移。此外,Ag阳离子和AgCl组分的同时引入促进了CO 2在光催化剂表面的吸附和活化。当与金属银助催化剂结合时,Ag x Na 1−x TaO 3 -AgCl 异质结构光催化剂在低 CO 2浓度条件下对 CO 2还原和 H 2 O 氧化的整体反应表现出更高的活性。在低 CO 2浓度下具有活性的光催化剂的设计提供了一种构建实用 CO 2的替代方法未来的转换系统。
