Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photocatalyst technology, and relates to a novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid industrial development, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas have been extensively exploited and utilized. However, while these fossil fuels have promoted the rapid development of human civilization, they have also caused massive emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. Global warming, reduced food production, and rising sea levels caused by the greenhouse effect directly threaten the human living environment. Therefore, in addition to finding suitable clean energy sources, minimizing CO2 emissions and converting as much of it as possible into high-value-added chemical products such as CO2 is equally important.

[0003] The conversion of CO2 into high-value-added chemical products such as CO relies heavily on catalysts. Compared to traditional catalysts, photocatalysts have the following advantages: ① The external energy supply for the reaction is solely solar energy, which is inexhaustible; ② The reaction conditions are mild, generally at room temperature and pressure; ③ They have strong redox properties, do not exhibit adsorption saturation, and have a long lifespan. Commonly used photocatalysts for CO2 conversion include titanium dioxide, sulfides, cuprous oxide, and ferrates. However, these photocatalysts are not highly efficient at converting carbon dioxide, prompting researchers to focus on finding photocatalysts that can effectively convert CO2.

[0004] In recent years, halide perovskite materials have gained widespread attention due to their superior electrical and optical properties. Compared with most traditional photocatalysts, halide perovskite materials exhibit strong light absorption, a wide absorption range for visible light, and tunable band gaps, thus leading to their widespread application in photocatalysis. However, standalone halide perovskite CsPbBr3 exhibits a rapid carrier recombination rate, while the generation rate of photogenerated carriers under illumination is slow. To effectively suppress electron recombination, heterojunctions can be constructed.

[0005] Since there are currently no reports on ReS2 / CsPbBr3 heterojunctions as photocatalysts for carbon dioxide conversion, it is necessary to explore the efficiency of ReS2 / CsPbBr3 heterojunctions as photocatalysts for carbon dioxide conversion, thereby providing a new approach to CO2 conversion. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, one objective of the present invention is to provide a novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst; a second objective of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst; and a third objective of the present invention is to provide the application of the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] 1. A novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst, wherein the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst is composed of a two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 and perovskite quantum dots CsPbBr3;

[0009] The molar ratio of the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 to the perovskite quantum dot CsPbBr3 is 10:1 to 25:1.

[0010] 2. The preparation method of the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst is as follows:

[0011] Two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 is dispersed in toluene, and then a precursor solution of perovskite quantum dots CsPbBr3 is added. After thorough mixing, the mixture is washed with chlorobenzene, centrifuged, and dried to obtain a novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst.

[0012] The preparation method of the precursor solution of perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 is as follows: Cesium bromide and lead bromide are mixed evenly, and then oleylamine, oleic acid and dimethylformamide are added to form a mixed solution. The mixed solution is stirred at 50-70°C for 60-120 min.

[0013] Preferably, the preparation method of the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 is as follows:

[0014] Ammonium perrhenate and thiourea are dissolved in deionized water to obtain a reaction solution. The reaction solution is then transferred to a reaction vessel and hydrothermally reacted at 210–240°C for 20–24 hours to obtain the reaction product. The reaction product is washed and dried to obtain the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2.

[0015] Preferably, the mass ratio of ammonium perrhenate to thiourea is 510–560:640–710.

[0016] Preferably, the mass-to-volume ratio of the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 and the perovskite quantum CsPbBr3 precursor solution is 40.6:487 to 46.4:220 (mg:μL); and the volume ratio of the perovskite quantum CsPbBr3 precursor solution to toluene is 1:41.48.

[0017] Preferably, the molar volume ratio of cesium bromide, lead bromide, oleylamine, oleic acid and dimethylformamide is 0.2:0.2:0.3:0.9:5, mmol:mmol:mL:mL:mL.

[0018] 3. Application of the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst in photocatalytic reduction of CO2.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst. This photocatalyst is composed of two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 and perovskite quantum dots CsPbBr3 in a molar ratio of 10:1 to 25:1. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy results demonstrate the successful recombination of the two components. Furthermore, by measuring and calculating the conduction and valence band positions of ReS2 and CsPbBr3, it is confirmed that they can form an S-type heterojunction structure. Compared with pure perovskite quantum dots CsPbBr3, the size of the perovskite quantum dots CsPbBr3 in this photocatalyst is reduced, which is beneficial for increasing the specific surface area and providing more reactive sites for the photocatalytic reaction. In addition, it also has a wider absorption range. These excellent properties enable this photocatalyst to accelerate the separation rate of photogenerated carriers under illumination and slow down the recombination rate of photogenerated carriers, thereby helping to improve the energy efficiency of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. When this photocatalyst is used in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, the amount of CO produced is as high as 25.67 μmol / g·h. Its photocatalytic performance is significantly better than that of a single photocatalyst, thus showing great application potential in addressing environmental problems caused by excessive CO2 emissions.

[0020] This invention also provides a novel method for preparing an S-type heterojunction photocatalyst. This method is simple and easy to operate, requires minimal equipment, is low-cost, low-energy, and suitable for large-scale production.

The objectives and other advantages of the invention can be realized and obtained through the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The difference from Example 1 is that the 40.6 mg of the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2, 20.2 mL of toluene, and 487 μL of the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 precursor solution in step (3) are replaced with 43.3 mg of the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2, 14.5 mL of toluene, and 350 μL of the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 precursor solution in step (2).

[0041] Example 3

[0044] Example 4

[0047] Comparative Example 1

[0048] Preparation of perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3

[0049] Mix 43 mg of cesium bromide and 73.4 mg of lead bromide evenly, then add 0.3 mL of oleylamine, 0.9 mL of oleic acid and 5 mL of dimethylformamide to form a mixed solution. Transfer the mixed solution to a water bath at 60 °C and stir for 60 min to obtain the precursor solution of perovskite quantum CsPbBr3. Take 700 mL of this precursor solution and add it dropwise to 29 mL of toluene. Stir continuously for 30 min, then wash with toluene and centrifuge.

[0050] Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed on the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 prepared in step (2) of Example 2, the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst (CsPbBr3@ReS2) prepared in step (3), and the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 prepared in Comparative Example 1. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, ReS2 has a layered porous surface structure with a very rich surface morphology (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in Figure a), CsPbBr3 is granular (as shown in Figure a). Figure 1 As shown in Figure b), ReS2 can provide attachment sites for CsPbBr3. The theory and practice are consistent; scanning electron microscopy results show that granular perovskite dot quanta of CsPbBr3 can be relatively uniformly attached to the porous ReS2, confirming the successful composite of the two (as shown in Figure b). Figure 1 (as shown in c).

[0051] X-ray powder diffraction tests were performed on the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 prepared in step (2) of Example 2, the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst (CsPbBr3@ReS2) prepared in step (3), and the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 prepared in Comparative Example 1. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. From Figure 2 As shown in a and b, the positions of the diffraction peaks of ReS2 and CsPbBr3 are consistent with those on the standard card, proving the successful synthesis of ReS2 and CsPbBr3; from Figure 2As can be seen in Figure c, both ReS2 and CsPbBr3 diffraction peaks are present, indicating that CsPbBr3 is attached to the surface of ReS2.

[0052] The two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 prepared in step (2) of Example 2, the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst (CsPbBr3@ReS2) prepared in step (3), and the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 prepared in Comparative Example 1 were subjected to UV-Vis absorption tests. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. The absorption range of ReS2 extends to the far-infrared (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in Figure a), the absorption wavelength of perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 is less than 520 nm (as shown in Figure a). Figure 3 As shown in Figure b), when the two are combined, the absorption range is expanded (e.g., Figure 3 (as shown in c), which is more conducive to the photocatalytic reduction of CO2.

[0053] The two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 prepared in step (2) of Example 2, the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst (CsPbBr3@ReS2) prepared in step (3), and the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 prepared in Comparative Example 1 were subjected to amorphous absorption tests. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. The bandgap of ReS2 is 1.57 eV (as shown). Figure 4 As shown in Figure a), the band gap of CsPbBr3 is 2.30 eV (as shown in Figure a). Figure 4 (As shown in b). However, the band gap of CsPbBr3@ReS2 is 2.03 eV (as shown in b). Figure 4 As shown in Figure c), compared with pure perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3, its band gap is reduced by 0.27 eV, indicating that there is a strong electrostatic attraction and interaction between ReS2 and CsPbBr3 during the hybridization process.

[0054] X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed on the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 prepared in step (2) of Example 2 and the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 prepared in Comparative Example 1. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Test results indicate that the valence band of ReS2 is located at 1.25 eV (as shown). Figure 5 As shown in (a), from formula E g =V B -V C Calculations show that the conduction band position of ReS2 is at -0.32 eV, indicating that ReS2 alone does not satisfy the band arrangement required for photocatalytic reduction of CO2, meaning it lacks the performance for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Similarly, the valence band position of CsPbBr3 is at 1.03 eV (e.g., ...). Figure 5As shown in Figure b), the conduction band of CsPbBr3 is calculated to be located at -1.27 eV. Based on the conduction and valence band positions of ReS2 and CsPbBr3, it can be seen that attaching CsPbBr3 to ReS2 can form an S-type heterojunction structure.

[0055] Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed on the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst (CsPbBr3@ReS2) prepared in step (3) of Example 2 and the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 prepared in Comparative Example 1. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown. From Figure 6 In Figure a, it can be observed that the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 in Comparative Example 1 is a regular cubic crystal with a size of 40 nm; while from... Figure 6 In Figure b, it can be observed that the size of CsPbBr3 in CsPbBr3@ReS2 prepared in step (3) of Example 2 is approximately 10 nm. That is, compared with pure perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3, the size of CsPbBr3 in CsPbBr3@ReS2 is reduced, which is beneficial to increasing the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, thereby providing more reactive sites for photocatalytic reactions. In addition, besides the (200) and (220) crystal planes containing CsPbBr3, the (100) crystal plane of ReS2 was also found in the figure, which indicates that CsPbBr3 is relatively uniformly attached to ReS2, further confirming the successful composite of the two.

[0056] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the band structure of the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst (CsPbBr3@ReS2) prepared in step (3) of Example 2. Figure 7 As can be seen, the potential for CO2 to be converted into CO is -0.52V. However, the conduction band position of ReS2 alone does not meet this potential. Only when it is combined with CsPbBr3 can the corresponding band structure meet the requirements for photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into CO.

[0057] Similarly, the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalysts prepared in Examples 1, 3, and 4 were subjected to the above tests, and similar experimental results were obtained as those for the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst prepared in Example 2. This demonstrates that the preparation method described in this application enables the successful recombination of CsPbBr3 and ReS2 to form an S-type heterojunction structure. Furthermore, the heterojunction catalysts with different CsPbBr3 / ReS2 ratios provide more reactive sites for the photocatalytic reaction due to the increased specific surface area, thereby improving the energy efficiency of photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

[0058] Performance testing

[0059] 1. To investigate the catalytic performance of the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 prepared in step (2) of Example 2, the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst (CsPbBr3@ReS2) prepared in step (3), and the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 prepared in Comparative Example 1.

[0060] (1) Test method: Take 10 mg of each of the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 prepared in step (2) of Example 2, the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst (CsPbBr3@ReS2) prepared in step (3), and the perovskite dot quantum CsPbBr3 prepared in Comparative Example 1, and put them into photocatalytic reactors respectively. Introduce CO2 (purity of 99.99%) gas to make the reaction pressure of the reactor between 85 and 90 kPa. Then place the corresponding reactors under simulated sunlight for 3 hours and detect the CO production by chromatography column.

[0061] (2) Experimental Results: The above test results were plotted as a bar chart. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, ReS2's CO yield is 0 μmol / g·h because its band arrangement does not meet the potential for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, while CsPbBr3's CO yield is 2.8 μmol / g·h. However, when ReS2 and CsPbBr3 are combined to form CsPbBr3@ReS2, the photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance is the highest, with a CO yield of 25.67 μmol / g·h. This demonstrates the superiority of the composite material.

[0062] 2. To investigate the photocatalytic performance of the novel S-type heterojunction photocatalysts prepared in Examples 1-4.

[0063] The novel S-type heterojunction photocatalysts prepared in Examples 1-4 were subjected to photocatalytic performance testing using the same testing methods described above. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the highest CO yield is observed when the molar ratio of two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 to perovskite quantum dot CsPbBr3 in the catalyst is 15:1, indicating that its photocatalytic performance is optimal.

[0064] In summary, this invention provides a novel S-type heterojunction photocatalyst. This photocatalyst is composed of two-dimensional transition metal sulfide ReS2 and perovskite quantum dots CsPbBr3 in a molar ratio of 10:1 to 25:1. Various testing methods demonstrate that this photocatalyst possesses characteristics such as large specific surface area, numerous reactive sites, wide absorption range, and strong absorption, which are beneficial for accelerating the separation rate of photogenerated carriers under illumination and slowing down their recombination rate, thereby contributing to improved energy efficiency in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. When used in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, it produces up to 25.67 μmol / g·h of CO, thus showing great promise for addressing environmental problems caused by excessive CO2 emissions.

[0065] This invention also provides a novel method for preparing an S-type heterojunction photocatalyst. This method is simple to operate, low in cost, and suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
