Abstract
The selective oxidation of toluene into valuable chemicals via photocatalytic C(sp3)-H bond activation represents a significant, yet challenging process. Here, the in situ construction of bismuth oxybromide/bismuth molybdate (BiOBr/Bi2MoO6) 2D/2D Z-scheme heterojunctions featuring interface-induced oxygen vacancies (OVs) is introduced. The optimized BiOBr/Bi2MoO6 sample has a remarkable yield rate of benzaldehyde at 2134.28 μmol g-1 h-1 under blue LED irradiation, surpassing the performance of BiOBr and Bi2MoO6 by 8.1 and 2.9 times, respectively. Insights from density functional theory (DFT) calculations, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) studies highlight the critical role of the Z-scheme electronic configuration and OVs in attaining the superior photocatalytic toluene conversion efficiency. This study advances the photocatalytic conversion of benzaldehyde within an OV-enhanced direct Z-scheme system, facilitating the activation of inert C(sp3)-H bonds, and contributes to the development of high-performance catalysts for sustainable chemical processes.
