Hot Electrons Induced by Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance in Ag/g-C₃N₄ Schottky Junction for Photothermal Catalytic CO₂ Reduction.

ABSTRACT: Converting carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high-value-added chemicals using solar energy is a promising approach to reducing carbon dioxide emissions; however, single photocatalysts suffer from quick the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and poor photoredox ability. Herein, silver (Ag) nanoparticles featuring with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are combined with g-C₃N₄ to form a Schottky junction for photothermal catalytic CO₂ reduction. The Ag/g-C₃N₄ exhibits higher photocatalytic CO₂ reduction activity under UV-vis light; the CH₄ and CO evolution rates are 10.44 and 88.79 µmol·h^-1·g^-1, respectively. Enhanced photocatalytic CO₂ reduction performa
