The conversion of greenhouse gas CO 2 into usable high-value-added fuels through photocatalytic reactions is a promising green energy measure. However, the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction faces challenges such as multi-electron transfer and slow mass transfer. Furthermore, most photocatalysts can only absorb ultraviolet light and have insufficient active sites, resulting in a low utilization rate of sunlight. Based on this, we designed a novel layered composite catalyst, where Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene serves as the supporting framework and BiOCl nanosheets are uniformly grown on its surface. Under simulated sunlight, the CH 4 yield is 30.07 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , with a selectivity of 93.4 %, and it still maintains excellent stability after six photocatalytic cycle experiments. Research data indicates that with the intervention of reducing ethylene glycol, the oxygen vacancy content on Ti 3 C 2 T x /BiOCl is significantly increased. The formation of oxygen vacancies and Schottky heterojunctions not only enhances the charge separation efficiency at the interface but also selectively reduces CO 2 to CH 4 .

Use of 3D photocatalytic reactor has been widely explored for development of efficient photocatalytic systems. In the present study, a bionic palisade cells BiOBr/Sr 2 Nb 2 O 7 /Al 6 Si 2 O 13 photocatalytic reactor with high strength was prepared through combination of 3D printing technology and solvothermal method. The carefully designed and optimized bionic palisade cell structure exhibited a periodic porous structure with high surface area. The controllable periodic structure effectively regulated the internal photon transfer and mass transfer. Photon transfer ensured that light is fully scattered within the structure, which improved light utilization. High mass transfer ensured smooth flow of reactant inside the structure, which increased reactant adsorption on the surface of photocatalysts. The interface electric field of the BiOBr/Sr 2 Nb 2 O 7 p-n heterojunction effectively separated the photogenerated electrons and holes. The BOB/SNO/ASO structure had high photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance under the simulated sunlight. The CO yield for the reaction was 13.68 μmol/g/h, whereas that of CH 4 yield was 6.37 μmol/g/h. Therefore, the findings of the present study provide a basis for design and preparation of high-performance 3D photocatalytic reactors.

This work reports a novel strategy to activate type III heterojunction through introducing defect sites at the interfaces and making use of the defect band as the bridge for storage, secondary excitation, and interband transfer of the photothermal induced charges for constructing two-component Type B heterojunction photothermocatalyst. Type III heterojunction WO 3−x /GdCrO 3 is activated by defect-band state W 5/4+ at WO 3−x interface under photothermal conditions, achieving efficient charge separation, high redox potential, and full visible light absorption. The as-bridged (or Type B) heterojunction WO 3−x -R/GdCrO 3 as non-noble metal catalyst demonstrates excellent photothermocatalytic performance in toluene degradation with a reaction rate five times higher than that of WO 3−x /GdCrO 3 with less interfacial defect sites as well as in CO 2 reduction with high CO and CH 4 yielding rates of 49.6 μmol g −1 h −1 and 18.5 μmol g −1 h −1 in gas-solid reaction system without sacrifice agent, evidently better than those reported in the literature.

The nanostructured heterojunction photocatalysts are considered promising in photocatalytic reduction in the carbon dioxide. Herein, we demonstrate a simple sol–gel and hydrolysis process to design nanostructured TiO 2 /ZnO heterojunction, by using the biological template celery stalk. The nanostructured photocatalyst consists of anatase TiO 2 and wurtzite ZnO nanoparticles. A well-connected heterojunction, with uniformly distributed nanoparticles, on the pores and folds of celery stems, is obtained. The enhanced specific surface area of 55.5 m 2 /g is achieved. The crystal structure, morphology and surface composition are investigated by electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, we demonstrate the photocatalytic performance of as-synthesized nanostructure TiO 2 /ZnO heterojunction. The photocatalytic yield, of CO 2 reduction into CH 4 , exhibits a five times increase, from 0.55 to 2.56 µmol h −1 g −1 , for the nanocomposite as compared to the pure TiO 2 . This enhanced performance corresponds to the efficient charge transfer and hindrance in the recombination of electron–hole pairs due to the optimum band positions of ZnO and TiO 2 . This study demonstrates the potential of using biotemplates to design efficient photocatalysts to convert CO 2 into useful solar fuels.
