摘要
太阳能驱动的二氧化碳(CO2)还原成乙烯等 C2+ 产物是实现碳中和的诱人途径。然而,由于电子传递迟缓和复杂的 C-C 偶联,除了利用铜基催化剂之外,从 CO2 和 H2O 中高效、选择性地生产乙烯仍具有挑战性。在此,我们报告了一种明智的设计,即在富含硫空位的 MoSx/Fe2O3 光催化剂片中,通过界面缺陷渲染的串联催化中心实现不对称的 C-C 耦合,从而在无需铜、贵金属和牺牲剂的情况下将 CO2 强力光还原为乙烯。具体来说,界面 S 空位诱导相邻的欠配位 S 原子形成 Fe-S 键,作为产生 Z 型带排列的快速电子转移途径。此外,这些 S 空位还能进一步调节强耦合作用,生成类似于氮酶的 Mo-Fe 异核单元,并诱导 d 带中心上移。这种受生物启发的界面结构通过 d-p 杂化有效抑制了相邻 *CO 和 *COH 中间体之间的静电排斥,最终促进了不对称的 C-C 耦合,实现了 0.565% 的显著太阳能转化效率,乙烯生产的选择性高达 84.9%。通过 MoSx/WO3 的进一步强化,我们的设计为优化界面电子传递提供了一个前景广阔的平台,并为使用无铜和无贵金属催化剂从 CO2 和 H2O 合成 C2+ 提供了一种新的选择。
Unlocking Copper-Free Interfacial Asymmetric C–C Coupling for Ethylene Photosynthesis from CO2 and H2O
Solar-driven carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction into C2+ products such as ethylene represents an enticing route toward achieving carbon neutrality. However, due to sluggish electron transfer and intricate C–C coupling, it remains challenging to achieve highly efficient and selective ethylene production from CO2 and H2O beyond capitalizing on Cu-based catalysts. Herein, we report a judicious design to attain asymmetric C–C coupling through interfacial defect-rendered tandem catalytic centers within a sulfur-vacancy-rich MoSx/Fe2O3 photocatalyst sheet, enabling a robust CO2 photoreduction to ethylene without the need for copper, noble metals, and sacrificial agents. Specifically, interfacial S vacancies induce adjacent under-coordinated S atoms to form Fe–S bonds as a rapid electron-transfer pathway for yielding a Z-scheme band alignment. Moreover, these S vacancies further modulate the strong coupling interaction to generate a nitrogenase-analogous Mo–Fe heteronuclear unit and induce the upward shift of the d-band center. This bioinspired interface structure effectively suppresses electrostatic repulsion between neighboring *CO and *COH intermediates via d-p hybridization, ultimately facilitating an asymmetric C–C coupling to achieve a remarkable solar-to-chemical efficiency of 0.565% with a superior selectivity of 84.9% for ethylene production. Further strengthened by MoSx/WO3, our design unveils a promising platform for optimizing interfacial electron transfer and offers a new option for C2+ synthesis from CO2 and H2O using copper-free and noble metal-free catalysts.
