Abstract
Abstract Selective CO 2 photoreduction to hydrocarbon fuels such as CH 4 is promising and sustainable for carbon‐neutral future. However, lack of proper binding strengths with reaction intermediates makes it still a challenge for photocatalytic CO 2 methanation with both high activity and selectivity. Here, low‐coordination single Au atoms (Au 1 ‐S 2 ) on ultrathin ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets was synthesized by a complex‐exchange route, enabling exceptional photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance. Under visible light irradiation, Au 1 /ZnIn 2 S 4 catalyst exhibits a CH 4 yield of 275 μmol g −1 h −1 with a selectivity as high as 77 %. As revealed by detailed characterizations and density functional theory…
