Combining CuPc with semiconductor materials as organic‒inorganic hybrid photocatalysts can effectively improve the light absorption capacity and separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes in semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, a CuPc/Bi2WO6 Z-scheme heterojunction was successfully designed and used for CO2 photoreduction. The separation of photogenerated electrons and holes is greatly enhanced because of the formation of a compact organic‒inorganic heterointerface and the built-in electric field between CuPc and Bi2WO6, which increases the photocatalytic CO2 reduction efficiency. Moreover, the photosensitizer CuPc can effectively enhance the light absorption of Bi2WO6. The optimal 1CuPc/ Bi2WO6 composite exhibits the best photocatalytic performance, with a CO production rate of 2.95 μmol g− l h− 1, which is three times greater than that of Bi2WO6 under visible-light irradiation. This work provides a new idea for the construction of an organic‒inorganic photocatalytic system for CO2 reduction.
