研究目的
To explore materials with high charge separation efficiency and effective CO2 adsorption capacity to boost the photoreduction of CO2.
研究成果
The construction of a 2D heterostructure comprised of Co3O4/2D g-C3N4 significantly enhances the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, with an evolution rate of 419 μmol g-1 h-1 and selectivity of 89.4%. The enhanced performance is attributed to improved light absorption, charge separation efficiency, and CO2 adsorption capacity. This work provides insights into the design of heterostructure-based photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.
研究不足
The study focuses on the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, with limited exploration of other reduction products. The stability of the photocatalyst shows a mild decrease after 3 cycles, indicating potential areas for optimization.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the construction of a 2D heterostructure comprised of Co3O4/2D g-C3N4 (COCN) for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The methodology includes a liquid nitrogen-assisted thermal oxidation method for the synthesis of the heterostructure.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples include 2D g-C3N4, Co3O4, and their composites with different weight ratios of Co3O
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometry (DRS), and XPS-VB measurement. Materials include melamine, Co(NO3)2·6H2O, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), NaOH, and others.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involves thermal condensation of melamine for g-C3N4, solvothermal reaction for β-Co(OH)2, and liquid nitrogen-assisted thermal oxidation for COCN. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is carried out in a pyrex reactor under visible light irradiation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The photocatalytic performance is evaluated based on CO production rate and selectivity. Charge kinetics and CO2 absorption capacity are investigated through PL spectra, fluorescence decay curves, and CO2 sorption isotherms.
