Fabrication of β-In2S3/NiAl-LDH heterojunction photocatalyst with enhanced separation of charge carriers for efficient CO2 photocatalytic reduction

Facile Construction of a Hollow In2S3/Polymeric Carbon Nitride Heterojunction for Efficient Visible-Light-Driven CO2 Reduction

“…Metal sulfides have attracted much attention in the photocatalytic field owing to their good light absorption properties and unique electronic structures. ,− In 2 S 3 is an n-type semiconductor with a small band gap of ∼2.20 eV. It is a promising photocatalytic material due to its good stability and low toxicity. , However, the poor separation and transfer kinetics of carriers limit the photocatalytic performance of In 2 S 3 . Recently, hollow-structured semiconductor photocatalytic materials have attracted much interest due to several intrinsic advantages.…”

Research progress on photocatalytic reduction of CO2 based on LDH materials

“…The beta-In 2 S 3 /NiAl-LDH previously prepared by our research group belongs to this type. 97 Compared with unadulterated LDH and pure In 2 S 3 , the CH 4 yield over the 30% In 2 S 3 /NiAl-LDH was greatly improved by 2.5 times and 3.5 times, respectively. The PL spectrum showed that the peak intensities of the prepared composite were much weaker than that of bare LDH, indicating the successful separation of electron-hole pairs.…”

Challenges and prospects in the selective photoreduction of CO2 to C1 and C2 products with nanostructured materials: a review

“…142 Miao et al established a ball-flower In 2 S 3 /NiAl-LDH n–n type heterojunction and applied it in CO 2 reduction under-stimulated solar light. 143 The In 2 S 3 /NiAl-LDH heterojunction exhibited a photoreduction activity of CH 4 production (5.16 μmol h −1 ) in a water medium.…”
