Engineering Exciton-Phonon Interactions for Suppressing Nonradiative Energy Loss in Energy-Transfer-lnitiated Photocatalysis

The prevalent excitonic effects in low-dimensional semiconductors enable energy-transfer-initiated photocatalytic solar-to-chemical energy conversion.However,the generally strong interactions between excitons and lattice vibrations in these low-dimension-al systems lead to robust nonradiative energy loss,which inevitably impedes photocatalytic performance of energy-transfer-initiated reactions.Herein,we high-light the crucial role of engineering exciton-phonon interactions in suppressing nonradiative energy losses in low-dimensional semiconductor-based photocata-lysts.By taking bismuth oxybromide(BiOBr)as an example,we demonstrate that phonon engineering could be effectively implemented by introducing Bi-Br vacancy clusters.Based on nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations and spectroscopic investiga-tions,we demonstrate that the defective structure can promote exciton-low-frequency phonon coupling and reduce exciton-high-frequency optical phonon coupling.Benefiting from the tailored couplings,non-radiative decay of excitons in defective BiOBr is sig-nificantly suppressed,thereby facilitating exciton accumulation and hence energy-transfer-initiated photocatalvsis.
