Molybdenum phosphide coupled with highly dispersed nickel confined in porous carbon nanofibers for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Shuaiqi Gong et al.

Summary: Photocatalytic CO2 reduction using renewable solar energy is a promising strategy for managing global carbon balance. However, the process of oriented photogenerated electron delivery is challenging. In this study, we developed a method to construct porous nitrogen-doped carbon nano-fibers loaded with highly dispersed nickel and molybdenum phosphide nanoparticles for efficient CO2 reduction. The porous carbon nanofibers improved charge/mass transfer and CO2 adsorption, while the highly dispersed nickel species stabilized by coordinating Ni-N bonds with N from the carbon nanofibers adjusted the material's band structure and altered the transfer route of the photogenerated carriers. The resulting Ni-MoP@NCPF exhibited high CO product selectivity and rate under visible light irradiation, outperforming the Ni-free MoP@NCPF. These findings provide new insights into cost-effective transition metal compounds for photocatalytic CO2 reduction through morphology, composition, and heterointerface engineering.
