Effect of morphology and exposed facets of Ag3PO4 on photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CH3OH over Ag/Ag3PO4 plasmonic photocatalysts
Different morphology of Ag/Ag3PO4 plasmonic photocatalysts enclosed with single {110}
{100} and {111} facets were synthesized by a facile ion-exchang method followed by light-induced reduction. The X-ray powder diffraction
scanning electron microscopy
UV-visible absorption spectra
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements were employed to investigate the phase structure
micro morphology and absorbance of Ag/Ag3PO4 powders. The correlation between photocatalytic activities and exposed facet as well as the mechanism of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 under visible-light were explored. The results indicated that tetrahedral Ag/Ag3PO4 with exposed {111} facets exhibited the superior quantum yield
the ratio of the energy returned on energy invested and the turnover number. CO2 could be reduced through the process CO2 → ·CO2- → HCOOH → HCHO → CH3OH.
