Despite recent advances, it is of emerging interest to explore promising materials with excellent photothermal properties to boost the performance of photothermal CO2 catalysis. Here we report the discovery of MXene materials as superior photothermal supports for metal nanoparticles. As a proof-of-concept study, we demonstrate that Nb2C and Ti3C2, two typical MXene materials, can enhance the photothermal effect and thus boost the photothermal catalytic activity of Ni nanoparticles. A record CO2 conversion rate of 8.50 mol·gNi-1·h-1 is achieved for Nb2C- nanosheets-supported Ni nanoparticles under intense illumination. Our study bridges the gap between photothermal MXene materials and photothermal CO2 catalysis toward more efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversions, and stimulates the interest in MXene supported metal nanoparticles for other heterogeneous catalytic reactions, particularly driven by sunlight. | 影响因子: | 14.588 | 分区情况: | 一区 | 链接: | https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.1c00990 |
