In Situ Grown Monolayer N‐Doped Graphene on CdS Hollow Spheres with Seamless Contact for Photocatalytic CO 2 Reduction

Abstract Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction is an effective way to simultaneously mitigate the greenhouse effect and the energy crisis. Herein, CdS hollow spheres, on which monolayer nitrogen‐doped graphene is in situ grown by chemical vapor deposition, are applied for realizing effective photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. The constructed photocatalyst possesses a hollow interior for strengthening light absorption, a thin shell for shortening the electron migration distance, tight adhesion for facilitating separation and transfer of carriers, and a monolayer nitrogen‐doped graphene surface for adsorbing and activating CO 2 molecules. Achieving seamless contact between a photocatalyst and a cocatalyst, which provides a…
