Abstract

Abstract Artificial photosynthesis of high-valued chemicals is a promising route to alleviate global warming and energy crisis. Herein, a layered hybrid heterojunction of TiO2/Ti3C2 was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal oxidation method. The TiO2/Ti3C2 heterojunction was further functionalized by imine ligands and Pd nanoparticles, and used as a photocathode in CO2 reduction for the first time. These layered TiO2/Ti3C2 heterojunction materials have narrow band gap (2.1 eV), which contributes to the absorption of visible light. In the artificial photosynthetic cell of Pd/N-TiO2/Ti3C2||BiVO4, some hydrocarbon, such as formate, methanol and ethanol, were generated efficiently. The evolution rate of total hydrocarbon was as high as 73.6 μM cm−2 h−1 (36.8 mM h−1 g−1). The hydrogen gas can be evolved in the photoelectrocatalysis cell when the external voltage provided by Si solar cell is as low as − 0.4 V, due to the high activity of the heterojunction structure. The highest apparent light quantum efficiency of artificial photosynthesis cell was 1.78% at − 1.0 V. The carbon source of products was derived from CO2, which was verified by 13CO2 labeling experiments. The experimental results suggest that the in-situ formed TiO2/Ti3C2 heterojunction materials can be employed as candidates for efficiently photoelectrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to chemical fuels.

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.
