Abstract

Abstract Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into solar fuels has been a promising strategy to utilize abundant solar energy and alleviate greenhouse effect. Herein, a series of polydopamine-modified TiO2 (TiO2@PDA) hollow spheres were fabricated by in situ self-polymerization of dopamine to systematically investigate the effect of PDA wrapping on the photocatalytic CO2 reduction activities of TiO2. Among all TiO2@PDA composite photocatalysts, the highest value of methane yield (1.50 μmol h−1 g−1) was achieved with 0.5 % PDA, which was 5 times than that of pure TiO2 (0.30 μmol h−1 g−1). The improvement of photocatalytic activity and methane selectivity was ascribed to the enhanced light absorption, promoted CO2 adsorption capacity, increased reduction power of photogenerated electrons, as well as efficient separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers induced by the S-scheme heterojunction between TiO2 and PDA. This work provides a facile surface modification method with cost-effective polymer materials in photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
