摘要

The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 for the production of solar fuels without sacrificing agents is an environmentally friendly and important process, with the development of high-performance photocatalysts being a key focus. An inorganic/organic semiconducting pair with an S-scheme mechanism has been incorporated in a hybrid fiber morphology designed specifically for an S-scheme heterojunction. Specifically, polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles were synthesized within the walls of TiO2 nanofibers through in situ self-polymerization of dopamine hydrochloride. The TiO2@PDA composite photocatalyst with 1.0% PDA decoration exhibited the highest CO yield of 19.15 µmol·h−1·g·−1, which was 2.6 times greater than that of pure TiO2 (7.25 µmol·h−1·g·−1). By combining PDA and TiO2 nanofibers arranged in an S-scheme heterojunction can be attributed to the improved light absorption and the effective charge carrier separation and transfer. Consequently, this research introduces a novel approach for developing inorganic/organic S-scheme heterojunctions with a fiber morphology to enhance CO2 photoreduction efficiency.
