ZnIn₂S₄/ZnO Film for High-Efficiency CO₂ Conversion to Fuel: Photocatalysis by Atomically Disorder-Engineered Heterointerface.

ABSTRACT: Light-driven conversion of CO₂ into small energy-rich molecules effectively addresses both energy demands and reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. However, due to the low efficiency of light absorption and charge carrier separation/transfer, most semiconducting materials have a low conversion activity and poor conversion product selectivity. Herein, ZnIn₂S₄ nanosheets are introduced to oxygen vacancy-rich ZnO microrod films for CO₂ conversion. This heterostructure forms an atomically disordered heterointerface that can play an important role in strengthening the contact between the two crystalline materials and providing an efficient charge transfer pathway. The resulting ZnIn₂S₄/ZnO film photocatalyst exhibits superior pe
