Regulating electrons transfer through Pd-O-Bi bridges for boosting photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Chi Ma,Zhiyong Zhong,Quanjun Xiang

The photocatalytic efficiency of bismuth-based metal-organic framework (Bi-MOF) is extremely restricted by the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, which reduce the number of electrons involved in the photocatalytic reduction reaction. Constructing precise interfacial bond bridges between metal nanoparticles (NPs) and MOFs has emerged as an effective strategy to address the above-mentioned issues, promoting the electrons transfer. Herein, this study improves the sluggish dynamics of photogenerated charge in Bi-MOF by inducing the Pd-O-Bi bond bridges at the interface on a Pd NPs-decorated Bi-MOF (Pd/Bi-MOF) nanosheets. This phenomenon results in an interaction between Pd NPs and the Bi-MOF support. And Pd-O-Bi bond bridges provide the fast electron transfer channels, triggering the directional migration of photogenerated electrons from Pd to Bi node, then enhancing the spatial separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, finally facilitating overall photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. The presence of these bond bridges leads to higher enhancement in CO production for Pd/Bi-MOF nanosheets compared to the Bi-MOF nanosheets under visible light irradiation after 4.5 h. This research demonstrates the importance of interfacial bond bridges and provides a reasonable guide to design efficient photocatalyst for reduction of CO 2 to CO.
