Abstract: | Photocatalytic performance can be optimized via introduction of reactive sites. However, it is practically difficult to engineer these on specific photocatalyst surfaces, because of limited understanding of atomic-level structure-activity. Here we report a facile sonication-assisted chemical reduction for specific facets regulation via oxygen deprivation on Bi-based photocatalysts. The modified Bi2MoO6 nanosheets exhibit 61.5 and 12.4 μmol g-1 for CO and CH4 production respectively, ~3 times greater than for pristine catalyst, together with excellent stability/reproducibility of ~20 h. By combining advanced characterizations and simulation, we confirm the reaction mechanism on surface-regulated photocatalysts, namely, induced defects on highly-active surface accelerate charge separation/transfer and lower the energy barrier for surface CO2 adsorption/activation/reduction. Promisingly, this method appears generalizable to a wider range of materials. |
