Understanding Bridging Sites and Accelerating Quantum Efficiency for Photocatalytic CO₂ Reduction.

ABSTRACT: We report a novel double-shelled nanoboxes photocatalyst architecture with tailored interfaces that accelerate quantum efficiency for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) via Mo-S bridging bonds sites in S_v-In₂S₃@2H-MoTe₂. The X-ray absorption near-edge structure shows that the formation of S_v-In₂S₃@2H-MoTe₂ adjusts the coordination environment via interface engineering and forms Mo-S polarized sites at the interface. The interfacial dynamics and catalytic behavior are clearly revealed by ultrafast femtosecond transient absorption, time-resolved, and in situ diffuse reflectance-Infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy.
