photoreduction of CO2 into renewable fuels is a
promising approach to solve the global energy and environmental crisis.
All-inorganic bismuth (Bi) halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have
emerged as an appealing photocatalyst for visible-light-driven CO2 reduction, but they still have low photocatalytic activity.
Herein, a set of lead-free and stable Cs3Bi2X9 (X = Cl, Cl0.5Br0.5, Br, Br0.5I0.5, I) perovskite NCs were explored for the
photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO at the gas–solid
interface. In all of the recorded perovskite NCs, the as-synthesized
Cs3Bi2(Br0.5I0.5)9 showed the highest efficiency of CO2-to-CO conversion
producing 54 μmol g–1 of CO yield under visible-light
irradiation for 3 h. The strategy we proposed may bring up new opportunities
for an efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction of lead-free
perovskite NCs.
