Reaction Mechanism of Hydrogen Generation and Nitrogen Fixation at Carbon Nitride/Double Perovskite Heterojunctions
Proceedings of the MATSUS Spring 2024 Conference(2024)
摘要
Photocatalytically active heterojunctions based on metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are drawing significant interest for their chameleon ability to foster several redox reactions. The lack of mechanistic insights into their performance, however, limits the ability of engineering novel and optimized materials. Herein, a report is made on a composite system including a double perovskite, Cs2AgBiCl6/g‐C3N4, used in parallel for solar‐driven hydrogen generation and nitrogen reduction, quantified by a rigorous analytical approach. The composite efficiently promotes the two reactions, but its activity strongly depends on the perovskite/carbon nitride relative amounts. Through advanced spectroscopic investigation and density function theory (DFT) modeling the H2 and NH3 production reaction mechanisms are studied, finding perovskite halide vacancies as the primary reactive sites for hydrogen generation together with a positive contribution of low loaded g‐C3N4 in reducing carrier recombination. For nitrogen reduction, instead, the active sites are g‐C3N4 nitrogen vacancies, and the heterojunction best performs at low perovskites loadings where the composites maximize light absorption and reduce carrier losses. It is believed that these insights are important add‐ons toward universal exploitation of MHPs in contemporary photocatalysis.
