It is known that the combination of TiO2 and graphene and the control of TiO2 crystal facets are both effective routes to improve the photocatalytic performance of TiO2. Here, we report the synthesis and the photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance of graphene supported TiO2 nanocrystals with coexposed {001} and {101} facets (G/TiO2-001/101). The combination of TiO2 and graphene enhanced the crystallinity of TiO2 single nanocrystals and obviously improved their dispersion on graphene. The “surface heterojunction” formed by the coexposed {001} and {101} facets can promote the spatial separation of photogenerated electrons and holes toward different facets and the supports of graphene can further enhance the separation through accelerated electron migration from TiO2 to graphene. The G/TiO2-001/101 exhibited high photocatalytic CO2-reduction activity with a maximum CO yield reaching 70.8 μmol g−1 h−1. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composites can be attributed to their high surface area, good dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles, and effective separation of excited charges due to the synergy of graphene supports and the co-exposure of {001} and {101} facets.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
