▎ 摘  要

Photocatalytic CO2 conversion efficiency is hampered by the rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. It is effective to suppress the recombination by constructing cocatalysts on photo-catalysts with high-quality interfacial contact. Herein, we develop a novel strategy to in-situ grow ultrathin N-doped graphene (NG) layer on TiO2 hollow spheres (HS) with large area and intimate interfacial contact via a chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The optimized TiO2/NG HS nanocomposite achieves total CO2 conversion rates (the sum yield of CO, CH3OH and CH4) of 18.11 mu mol g(-1) h(-1), which is about 4.6 times higher than blank TiO2 HS. Experimental results demonstrate that intimate interfacial contact and abundant pyridinic N sites can effectively facilitate photogenerated charge carrier separation and transport, realizing enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. In addition, this work provides an effective strategy for in-situ construction of graphene-based photo-catalysts for highly efficient photocatalytic CO2 conversion.
