Abstract
Light-driven greenhouse gases upgrading (GGU) into syngas is a promising approach to reduce CO2 emissions and supply green fuels simultaneously. However, this reaction usually suffers from high operation temperature and low conversion rate due to stringent thermodynamic constraints. Herein, a selective plasmonic CH bond editing strategy is presented via incorporating ultralow amounts of Cu into Ni-based catalysts by electrostatic adsorption. A remarkable CO2 conversion rate 2.69 times as high as the thermodynamic limit and extraordinary light-to-fuel efficiency of 24.95% at low temperature of 500 °C are achieved, outperforming the state-of-the-art literature reports. The extremely low fraction of Cu (0.06 wt%) assists the injection of localized surface plasmon resonance induced hot electrons into the antibonding orbital of reactants, accelerating cleavage of the first CH bond of *CH4, which is usually the rate-determining step for GGU. Simultaneously, *CH intermediates are induced to proceed along *CH+*O = *CHO rather than *CH = *C+*H, thus avoid complete cleavage of CH4 and subsequent coke deposition, leading to stable on-stream operation over 20 h. Such a selective CH bond editing approach enables ordered conversion of CH4 and CO2 with high conversion rate and high efficiency synergistically beyond thermodynamic limits.
