Abstract:
A marigold-like SiC@MoS2 nanoflower with a unique Z-scheme structure efficiently achieves the overall conversion of gas phase CO2 with H2O (CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g) = CH4 + 2O2) without any sacrificial reagents under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm) irradiation. The CH4 and O2 evolution are 323 and 621 μL·g-1·h-1, and stable throughout 5 cycle reactions of total 40 h. This work demonstrates a breakthrough in artificial photosynthesis with the Z-scheme 1D heterojunction constructed by combining 2D semiconductor and 3D semiconductor based on the transfer balance of photogenerated electron and hole.

Photons
A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...
