As a photocathode for CO2 reduction, zinc-blende zinc telluride (ZnTe) was directly formed on a Zn/ZnO nanowire substrate by a simple dissolution-recrystallization mechanism without any surfactant. With the most negative conduction-band edge among p-type semiconductors, this new photocatalyst showed efficient and stable CO formation in photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction at -0.2--0.7 V versus RHE without a sacrificial reagent.
作为 CO2 还原的光阴极,通过简单的溶解-再结晶机制,在没有任何表面活性剂的情况下,纤锌矿型的碲化锌(ZnTe)直接在 Zn/ZnO 纳米线基底上形成。由于其导带边缘最负,在光电化学 CO2 还原中,这种新型光催化剂在没有牺牲试剂的情况下,在相对于 RHE 为-0.2 到-0.7 V 的电压下,表现出高效和稳定的 CO 生成。
