China’s energy structure is dominated by coal.The large use of fossil energy such as coal and oil makes the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere continue to increase,which leads to various environmental problems.At the same time,the decreasing of fossil energy also causes energy crisis.The conversion of CO2 into fuel(such as methane,methanol,etc.)can effectively solve the above problems,and the photoreduction of CO2 has unique advantages such as no secondary pollution,simple operation,and has a broad prospect.In this paper,based on MoS2,the photoreduction properties of methane and methanol were evaluated by the way of heterostructure modification.(1)SrZrO3/MoS2 composites were prepared by hydrothermal method,and investigated the effects of different SrZrO3 loadings on photocatalytic performance.The results show that Sr,Zr,and O elements are evenly distributed on the surface of MoS2.SrZrO3 is closely combined with MoS2,and the heterojunction structure significantly improves the light absorption ability of MoS2,reduces the recombination rate of photo-generated electron holes,and extends the electronic life.When the amount of SrZrO3 is 5wt%,the catalyst shows the highest photocatalytic activity because of its superior carrier separation efficiency and small electron transfer resistance under the light,in which the methane yield can reach 98μmol·h-1·g-1,methanol yield reached 36μmol·h-1·g-1.(2)In order to solve the problem of difficult catalyst recovery,choose the magnetic perovskite material FeTiO3combine with Mo S2.The composite of FeTiO3 and MoS2 was constructed by use hydrothermal method and annealing treatment and the photocatalytic performance of different FeTiO3 loadings was investigated.The results show that the composite material is microsphere-shaped,Fe,Ti,and O elements are evenly distributed on the surface of MoS2.FeTiO3and MoS2 are tightly bound,and the structure of the heterojunction significantly improves the photoresponse range of MoS2 and the carrier.Transmission rate reduces the recombination rate of photo-generated electrons and holes.When and only when the FeTiO3loading is 1wt%,the catalyst exhibits higher photocatalytic activity due to its higher carrier separation efficiency under light conditions.The methane and methanol yields are about 76μmol·h-1·g-1 and 23μmol·h-1·g-1.(3)In order to further improve the photocatalytic performance of magnetic composite materials,a more stable and environmentally-friendly magnetic materialα-Fe2O3 and MoS2were selected for compounding,andα-Fe2O3/MoS2 composite with p-n heterostructure was prepared by secondary hydrothermal method.The effect of different loading amount ofα-Fe2O3on the photocatalytic performance was also investigated..The results show that the composite material has a flower-like shape of 1μm,Fe and O elements are evenly distributed on the surface of MoS2,α-Fe2O3 is tightly bound to MoS2,and the constructed p-n heterostructure significantly improves the light absorption capacity of MoS2 and reduces photo-generated electrons.The recombination rate of the holes extends the life of the electron.When theα-Fe2O3 loading is5wt%,due to its excellent carrier separation efficiency,the photocatalyst exhibits the highest catalytic activity,and the yields of methane and methanol are about 121μmol·h-1·g-1and 41μmol·h-1·g-1.In summary,the photocatalysis performance can be effectively improved by selecting appropriate semiconductors in order to build heterostructure modification.Choosingα-Fe2O3as the heterogeneous material can not only help the recovery and reuse of catalyst,but also accelerate the transport rate of carrier,reduce the recombination probability of photogenerated electron hole and improve the photocatalytic activity of the composite by forming p-n heterojunction.
