Bi₂MoO₆ Embedded in 3D Porous N,O-Doped Carbon Nanosheets for Photocatalytic CO₂ Reduction.

ABSTRACT: Artificial photosynthesis is promising to convert solar energy and CO₂ into valuable chemicals, and to alleviate the problems of the greenhouse effect and the climate change crisis. Here, we fabricated a novel photocatalyst by directly growing Bi₂MoO₆ nanosheets on three-dimensional (3D) N,O-doped carbon (NO-C). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that the designed photocatalyst ensured the close contact between Bi₂MoO₆ and NO-C, and reduced the stacking of the NO-C layers to provide abundant channels for the diffusion of CO₂, while NO-C can allow for fast electron transfer. The charge transfer in this composite was determined to follow a step-scheme mechanism, which not only fa
