TiO2/perovskite (CsPbBr3) S-scheme heterojunctions synthesized by a facile electrostatic-driven self-assembling approach are developed which greatly promotes the separation of electron-hole pairs to foster efficient CO2 photoreduction.Abstract:
Exploring photocatalysts to promote CO2 photoreduction into solar fuels is of great significance. We develop TiO2/perovskite (CsPbBr3) S-scheme heterojunctions synthesized by a facile electrostatic-driven self-assembling approach. Density functional theory calculation combined with experimental studies proves the electron transfer from CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) to TiO2, resulting in the construction of internal electric field (IEF) directing from CsPbBr3 to TiO2 upon hybridization. The IEF drives the photoexcited electrons in TiO2 to CsPbBr3 upon light irradiation as revealed by in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, suggesting the formation of an S-scheme heterojunction in the TiO2/CsPbBr3 nanohybrids which greatly promotes the separation of electron-hole pairs to foster efficient CO2 photoreduction. The hybrid nanofibers unveil a higher CO2-reduction rate (9.02 μmol g–1 h–1) comparing with pristine TiO2 nanofibers (4.68 μmol g–1 h–1). Isotope (13CO2) tracer results confirm that the reduction products originate from CO2 source. Rational design and fabrication of high-performance photocatalyst is of great importance for CO2 reduction into solar fuel. Here, the authors demonstrate that S-scheme heterojunction TiO2/CsPbBr3 photocatalyst exhibits enhanced CO2 photoreduction activity.read more
