The bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) semiconductor has been used in photocatalytic CO₂ reduction for a long time, but the catalytic activity remains low. Herein, the Zn-doped BiOBr photocatalysts (called Zn-BiOBr) was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, which put out higher catalytic activity than pure BiOBr under visible light. The results showed that the synthesized 2% Zn-BiOBr exhibited the highest photocatalytic rate of 8.49 μmol·h^-1, which was 13 times higher than pure BiOBr. The enhancement mechanism of photocatalytic activity was also studied. Under visible light, Zn-BiOBr catalyst is excited and creates photo-induced electrons and holes, which effectively improve the conversion of CO₂ into CO. Doping of zinc provides BiOBr with a more suitable band gap and energy band defects, facilitates the separation of photogenerated charges, and reduces the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons, all of which contribute to the CO₂ conversion efficiency.
