Abstract: Heterojunction construction is a universal and effective approach to achieve high-efficiency photocatalysts. Towards these well-designed heterojunctions, modulation on steering dynamic charge transfer holds great promise in further performance stimulation. Herein, 2D/2D BiVO4/CsPbBr3 S-scheme heterojunctions, of which CsPbBr3 nanosheets (NSs) are in-situ face-to-face grown onto BiVO4 NSs, are designed as cornerstones for further carrier managements. Briefly, with controllable heterostructure regulation, an intimate heterointerface between BiVO4 and CsPbBr3 NSs with similar size can be obtained accompanied with a maximally intensified interfacial interaction, largely boosting charge transfer across the interfacial conjunction. Moreover, by further tailoring the intrinsic O vacancy (VO••) of BiVO4, the gradient Fermi level shift towards its valence band is finely tuned, yielding an enlarged Fermi level gap and an enhanced internal electric field (IEF) over BiVO4/CsPbBr3 heterojunctions. Such an intensified IEF provides a powerful driving force for directional charge migration, resulting in high charge separation and utilization efficiency. Hence, the optimized BiVO4/CsPbBr3 S-scheme heterojunction features desirable accelerated dynamic carrier mobility, delivering comparably high CO2-to-CO conversion with a turnover number (TON) near 230 without any co-catalyst or sacrificial agent. The accelerated S-scheme charge transfer mechanism is revealed in detail by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), theoretical calculations, photo-irradiated Kelvin probe force microscopy and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS).

2D/2D Heterojunction of Ultrathin MXene/Bi2WO6 Nanosheets for Improved Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction
Abstract: Exploring cheap and efficient cocatalysts for enhancing the performance of photocatalysts is a challenge in the energy conversion field. Herein, 2D ultrathin Ti3C2 nanosheets, a kind of MXenes, are prepared by etching Ti3AlC2 with subsequent ultrasonic exfoliation. A novel 2D/2D heterojunction of ultrathin Ti3C2/Bi2WO6 nanosheets is then successfully prepared by in situ growth of Bi2WO6 ultrathin nanosheets on the surface of these Ti3C2 ultrathin nanosheets. The resultant Ti3C2/Bi2WO6 hybrids exhibit a short charge transport distance and a large interface contact area, assuring excellent bulk‐to‐surface and interfacial charge transfer abilities. Meanwhile, the improved specific surface area and pore structure endow Ti3C2/Bi2WO6 hybrids with an enhanced CO2 adsorption capability. As a result, the 2D/2D heterojunction of ultrathin Ti3C2/Bi2WO6 nanosheets shows significant improvement on the performance of photocatalytic CO2 reduction under simulated solar irradiation. The total yield of CH4 and CH3OH obtained on the optimized Ti3C2/Bi2WO6 hybrid is 4.6 times that obtained on pristine Bi2WO6 ultrathin nanosheets. This work provides a new protocol for constructing 2D/2D photocatalytic systems and demonstrates Ti3C2 as a promising and cheap cocatalyst.
