Abstract

Two nanosheets of Bi4NbO8Cl were successfully synthesized for photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into solar fuel, featuring differently exposed (001) and (201) facets. The exposure of these specific facets facilitates C–C coupling to generate ethanol, and (201) facet typically accelerates this process.
