Photothermal catalytic C-C coupling to ethylene from CO2 with high efficiency by synergistic cooperation of oxygen vacancy and half-metallic WTe2

Photothermal catalytic CO2 conversion provides an effective solution targeting carbon neutrality by syn-ergistic utilization of photon and heat.However,the C-C coupling initiated by photothermal catalysis is still a big challenge.Herein,a three-dimensional(3D)hierarchical W18O49/WTe2 hollow nanosphere is constructed through in-situ embodying of oxygen vacancy and tellurium on the scaffold of WO3.The light absorption towards near-infrared spectral region and CO2 adsorption are enhanced by the formation of half-metal WTe2 and the unique hierarchical hollow architecture.Combining with the generation of oxy-gen vacancy with strengthened CO2 capture,the photothermal effect on the samples can be sufficiently exploited for activating the CO2 molecules.In particular,the close contact between W18O49 and WTe2 lar-gely promotes the photoinduced charge separation and mass transfer,and thus the*CHO intermediate formation and fixedness are facilitated.As a result,the C-C coupling can be evoked between tungsten and tellurium atoms on WTe2.The ethylene production by optimized W18O49/WTe2 reaches 147.6 μmol g-1 with the selectivity of 80%.The in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy(DRIFTS)and density functional theory(DFT)calculations are performed to unveil the presence and sig-nificance of aldehyde intermediate groups in C-C coupling.The half-metallic WTe2 cocatalyst proposes a new approach for efficient CO2 conversion with solar energy,and may especially create a new platform for the generation of multi-carbon products.
