Solar-driven photothermal catalytic CO2 conversion into fuels offers a promising approach to reducing fossil fuel dependence. To enhance the efficiency of photothermal CO2 reduction, photothermal catalyst design must not only sustain the high temperatures required for the reaction but also effectively utilize the entire solar spectrum. In this study, we present a novel photothermal catalyst architecture BiVO4/Bi/BiOCl that surpasses traditional designs by integrating plasmonic metal Bi as the “hot spot” and BiOCl as the thermal insulation layer on the outermost part. This structure realizes thermal management, contributing to maintaining the high temperatures required for the reaction. The BiVO4/Bi/BiOCl multi-component system synergistically absorbs the full solar light spectrum and achieves band-division utilization: short- and mid-wavelengths drive reduction and oxidation reactions, respectively, while long-wavelengths induce the photothermal effect. The BiVO4/Bi/BiOCl catalyst demonstrates high-efficiency CO2 conversion performance in an outdoor concentrating system, achieving a CO production rate of 9.5 μmol/h. This work presents a design strategy for functional photothermal catalysts, making them viable candidates for industrial-scale CO2 conversion processes.
