日本語

MXene（Ti₃C₂Tx）はCO₂光還元の助触媒として有望だが、水中で加水分解しメタンやCOなどを放出する。本研究では、この分解プロセスが光触媒性能評価に偽陽性を与えることを示し、厳密な対照実験の必要性を提起する。

English

MXenes are promising cocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction, but their hydrolytic instability can produce carbonaceous gases identical to target products. This study shows that Ti3C2Tx decomposition dominates the product signal, emphasizing the need for rigorous control experiments to distinguish genuine CO2 reduction from catalyst degradation.

📄 Abstract（原文）

MXenes are promising cocatalysts for CO 2 photoreduction (CO 2 RR) on semiconductors like TiO 2 . However, their inherent hydrolytic instability can produce carbonaceous gases that are identical to the target products. This study systematically investigates this interplay for a model Ti 3 C 2 T x /TiO 2 system. We first demonstrate that aqueous Ti 3 C 2 T x ink undergoes continuous hydrolysis under ambient conditions, releasing CH 4, CO, CO 2, and C 2 hydrocarbons, a process that is significantly accelerated by visible light via a photothermal mechanism. Composite catalysts were synthesized and characterized, confirming intimate contact between MXene and TiO 2 . Photocatalytic testing revealed a pivotal finding. CO 2 not only failed to increase the rate of CH 4 evolution but even suppressed it compared to that under an inert (Ar) atmosphere, whereas the CO evolution rate remained unchanged. Product formation scaled with MXene loading and dispersion state, with exfoliated flakes degrading faster. The total carbon evolved per hour accounted for only about 1% of the carbon initially present in the MXene, a rate consistent with many literature reports. Our results establish that the hydrolytic self-decomposition of Ti 3 C 2 T x provides a dominant background signal that can confound the interpretation of photocatalytic performance. This work underscores the necessity of rigorous control experiments to distinguish genuine CO 2 reduction from catalyst degradation, providing an essential framework for evaluating stable MXene-based photocatalysts.
