composite photocatalyst was prepared by hydrothermal method. The characterized results exhibit that the CN QDs are successfully coupled with mesoporous CeO
2
, and the photoelectronic response is effectively enhanced. The photocatalytic activity was tested by CO
2
reduction, and the results showed that when the loading of CN QDs was 0.75 wt%, the composite photocatalyst has the best photocatalytic activity. After 10 h of UV irradiation, the yields of CO and CH
4
were 22.48 µmol/g and 15.81 µmol/g, respectively. Some of the electrons generated within m-CeO
2
participated in the CO
2
reduction reaction and some were transferred to CN QDs through the two-phase interface to participate in the CO
2
catalytic reaction. The oxygen vacancies in m-CeO
2
can adsorb CO
2
and the introduced CN QDs can excite more oxygen vacancies with m-CeO
2
heterostructure, thereby adsorbing more CO
2
and photoreduction electrons. |
