Abstract

Artificial photocatalysis is widely used to capture CO2 for conversion into a range of usable carbon-containing fuels. SnO2 and T-ZIF-8 materials have attracted much attention due to their distinctive physicochemical properties. In this paper, addressing the low efficiency of SnO2 and T-ZIF-8 in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, a novel heterojunction composite photocatalyst of SnO2 and T-ZIF-8 was designed and synthesized using the sol–gel method. This approach combines the respective advantages of SnO2 and T-ZIF-8 materials. The resulting composite material has good photoresponsivity in the range of 200 ~ 800 nm. The conversion of CO2 to CO and CH4 under visible light irradiation is improved in T-ZIF-8/SnO2 composites compared to SnO2 and T-ZIF-8. The CO production rate reaches up to 16.6 µmol·g−1·h−1, and the CH4 production rate reaches up to 14.7 µmol·g−1·h−1, with a selectivity for CH4 as high as 77%. Mechanistic analysis indicates that the T-ZIF-8/SnO2 heterojunction significantly promotes the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs in the photocatalyst. This work presents an effective method for enhancing the catalytic activity of ZIF-based materials, opening up a new pathway for the environmentally friendly conversion of CO2 into clean fuels.
