Direct and indirect Z-scheme heterostructure-coupled photosystem enabling cooperation of CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation
2020
Overview
The stoichiometric photocatalytic reaction of CO

with H
2
O is one of the great challenges in photocatalysis. Here, we construct a Cu

O-Pt/SiC/IrO

composite by a controlled photodeposition and then an artificial photosynthetic system with Nafion membrane as diaphragm separating reduction and oxidation half-reactions. The artificial system exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance for CO

under visible light irradiation. The yields of HCOOH and O

meet almost stoichiometric ratio and are as high as 896.7 and 440.7 μmol g

, respectively. The high efficiencies of CO

reduction and H

O oxidation in the artificial system are attributed to both the direct Z-scheme electronic structure of Cu
2
O-Pt/SiC/IrO
x
and the indirect Z-scheme spatially separated reduction and oxidation units, which greatly prolong lifetime of photogenerated electrons and holes and prevent the backward reaction of products. This work provides an effective and feasible strategy to increase the efficiency of artificial photosynthesis.
