Abstract
Global warming and heavy metal pollution pose tremendous challenges to human development, and photocatalysis is considered to be an effective strategy to solve these problems. Herein, copper(II) tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (CuTCPP) molecules were successfully in situ loaded onto Bi4O5Br2 by a hydrothermal approach. A series of experimental results show that the light absorption capacity and photogenerated carrier separation efficiency were synchronously enhanced after the construction of CuTCPP/Bi4O5Br2 composites. Hence, the as-prepared composites possess significantly improved photocatalytic ability for both CO2 and Cr(VI) reduction. Specifically, CuTCPP/Bi4O5Br2-2 achieves a CO generation rate of 17.14 μmol g-1 under 5 h irradiation, which is twice as high as that of Bi4O5Br2 (8.57 μmol g-1). Besides, the optimized CuTCPP/Bi4O5Br2-2 also exhibits a removal rate of 61.87% for Cr(VI) within 100 min under irradiation. Furthermore, the mechanism of CO2 and Cr(VI) photoreduction was explored by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and capture experiments, respectively. This work can be a reference toward the construction of photocatalysts with high activity for solar energy conversion. © 2024 American Chemical Society.
