Defective nano-silica loaded polymeric carbon nitride for visible light driven CO2 reduction and dye degradation

2023-05-10

Abstract

A hybrid composite of polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) and defective nano-silica (n‑SiOx) photocatalyst has been synthesized, exhibiting a high surface area, improved light response, and reduced charge recombination. The synergistic formation of PCN-n-SiOx interface facilitated photoinduced charge transfer from PCN to n‑SiOx, resulting in suppressed carrier recombination.

The resultant hybrid PCN-n-SiOx sample demonstrated a three-fold photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into methanol and formic acid. Furthermore, photoelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction selectively yielded 283.0 μmol L1 of formic acid, a five-fold increment compared to bare PCN (57.0 μmol L1).

These findings hold promise for the development of PCN-based hybrid composites for solar-powered applications.
