摘要

Achieving efficient and highly selective conversion of CH4 into high-value-added chemicals through photodriving under mild conditions remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the limited utilization efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Herein, we report an in-situ growth strategy for constructing a robust InVO4-based heterojunction by intermarrying InVO4 and BiVO4 through cation-exchange. This method enables the resultant InVO4/BiVO4 heterojunction to possess strong interfacial electronic coupling, which accelerates the interface charge transfer and significantly enhances the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Under visible light-driven reaction conditions at ambient temperature and pressure, the InVO4/BiVO4 heterojunction demonstrates high selectivity (>90%) in photocatalyzing the oxidation of CH4 to high-value oxygenated hydrocarbons (CH3OH and HCHO), with a yield of 318.9 µmol g−1 h−1, which is 4.8 times higher than that of pristine BiVO4. Comprehensive control and isotope tracing experiments, as well as in-situ detection of transient species reveal that the key intermediate product CH3OOH is primarily formed through the binding of ·CH3 radicals with protons and O2, explaining why the oxygen source of the CH3OH product is mainly derived from O2.
