ABSTRACT
It remains challenging to obtain a single product in the gas-solid photocatalytic reduction of CO2 because CO and CH4 are usually produced simultaneously. This study presents the design of the I-type nested heterojunction TiO2/BiVO4 with controllable electron transport by modulating the TiO2 component. This study demonstrates that slowing electron transport could enable TiO2/BiVO4-4 to generate CO with 100% selectivity. In addition, modifying TiO2/BiVO4-4 by loading a Cu single atom further increased the CO product yield by 3.83 times (17.33 µmol·gcat-1·h-1), while maintaining 100% selectivity for CO. Characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the selectivity was mainly determined by the electron transport of the support, whereas CO2 was efficiently adsorbed and activated by the Cu single atom. Such a two-step regulation strategy of combining heterojunction with single atom enhances the possibility of simultaneously obtaining high selectivity and high yield in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2.
