Integrated Photothermal Nanoreactors for Efficient Hydrogenation of CO2
Transactions of Tianjin University(2022)
摘要
To alleviate the energy crisis and global warming, photothermal catalysis is an attractive way to efficiently convert CO2 and renewable H2 into value-added fuels and chemicals. However, the catalytic performance is usually restricted by the trade-off between the dispersity and light absorption property of metal catalysts. Here we demonstrate a simple SiO2-protected metal–organic framework pyrolysis strategy to fabricate a new type of integrated photothermal nanoreactor with a comparatively high metal loading, dispersity, and stability. The core-satellite structured Co@SiO2 exhibits strong sunlight-absorptive ability and excellent catalytic activity in CO2 hydrogenation, which is ascribed to the functional separation of different sizes of Co nanoparticles. Large-sized plasmonic Co nanoparticles are mainly responsible for the light absorption and conversion to heat (nanoheaters), whereas small-sized Co nanoparticles with high intrinsic activities are responsible for the catalysis (nanoreactors). This study provides a new concept for designing efficient photothermal catalytic materials.
