ABSTRACT: This study develops a novel system consisting of BiOBr as a photoanode and
16
CuO as photocathode for coupling photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation of tetracycline
17
(TC) with photoelectrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to form useful chemicals, such as CH3OH
18
and CH3CH2OH. Under illumination, the degradation efficiency of TC was compared using
19
photoelectrocatalysis (PEC), photocatalysis (PC) and electrocatalysis (EC) after 2.5 h. About
20
80% of TC was removed in the PEC process against 39%, 63% removed in PC and EC
21
process, respectively, and. the kinetic constants of them are estimated to be 0.418 h-1, 0.211
22
h-1 and 0.286 h-1, respectively. Apparently, the results show the system of PEC has a
23
synergistic effect between PC and EC for the degradation of TC. Furthermore, the onset
24
potential of the total current was approximate -0.6 V (vs. AgCl/Ag) and the yield of CH3OH
25
and C2H5OH is the best at the bias potential of -0.7 V. And the yield of CH3OH and C2H5OH
26
was 125.9 μmol/L and 26.5 μmol/L, respectively. Results of UV-vis absorption spectra, total

effect of PEC oxidation and PEC reduction and the synergetic effect of PC and EC. The

Introduction
36
In recent years, the increasing of water pollution and emissions of greenhouse gases have
37
caused serious global energy crisis and environmental problems, which threaten the survival
38
of humans and thousands of other living species.1-5 Photocatalysis was considered a
39
promising technology to synchronously solve the problems of environmental contaminations
40
and energy shortage.6-13 For example, Zhu et al. reported that the photodegradation of phenol
41
was achieved over g-C3N4@TiO2 core-shell with excellent activity.14 Yu et al. reported that
42
Co-doped BiOCl nanosheets could be employed as efficient and stable photocatalyst for
43
bisphenol A degradation under visible light illuminations.15 Zhang et al. illuminated that the
44
photocatalytic carbon dioxide reaction could be achieved over Pt NPs supported on TiO2-SiO2
45
porous materials and the catalytic performance was strongly depended on the size of the
46
photocatalyst.16 Ye et al. reported that Au-Cu alloy nanoparticles supported on SrTiO3/TiO2
47
coaxial nanotube arrays can selectively convert carbon dioxide to CO and hydrocarbons in the
48
presence of hydrous hydrazine17. Wang et al. reported that the photocatalytic activity of
49
hydrogen evolution over carbon nitride can be significantly improved by a facile bottom-up
50
strategy.18
51
In addition, aiming at achieving the coupling of photocatalytic degradation of organic
52
pollutants with simultaneous energy supply, our group has developed some hybrid materials,
53
which can serve as photocatalysts for organic pollutant degradation combined with
54
simultaneous alcohol production. For example, we designed and synthesized GQD/V-TiO2
55
photocatalysts that show superior photocatalytic performance for one-pot transformation of

organic pollutants to methanol and ethanol by merging the photocatalytic MB degradation and
57
CO2 reduction.19 Besides, rGO modified SrTi0.95Fe0.05O3 photocatalysts were also synthesized
58
for one-pot transformation of RhB to methanol and ethanol.20 However, the efficiency of
59
these developed catalytic systems is still unsatisfactory. Moreover, it is difficult to effectively
60
realize the separation and recovery of catalysts.21-25 Therefore, exploration of new technology
61
to solve the above problems and provide new avenues for the application of photocatalysis
62
technology in environmental treatment and energy supply is highly appealing.26-30
63
Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) technology is an excellent technology for organic pollutants
64
degradation and reduction of CO2 due to the high catalytic efficiency and facile recovery and
65
reuse of the catalyst.31-35 Therefore, the PEC technology is expected to solve the key problems
66
in the photocatalytic process. However, the most critical part of PEC technology is
67
preparation of photoelectrode, which should be capable of efficiently degrading organic
68
pollutants and reducing CO2.36-39 Recently, the bismuth-based semiconductor catalysts (BiOX,
69
X = Cl, Br, I) have been used for the removal of organic pollutants, especially BiOBr, which
70
is a well-known photocatalyst due to its suitable band gap and stable photocatalytic
71
properties.40-43 In addition, various kinds of catalysts have been investigated for CO2
72
reduction, including metallic, non-metallic and molecular catalysts. Among these catalysts,
73
Cu-based catalysts exhibit good catalytic activity for CO2 reduction with wide product
74
distribution, including HCOOH,44 CH3OH,45 CH446 and so on. Especially, CuO, a p-type
75
semiconductor, is demonstrated to be a promising material as photocathode due to its suitable
76
band gap that responds to visible light.47
77
Therefore, we developed a novel PEC system to achieve efficient mineralization of
78
organic pollutants coupled with simultaneous CO2 reduction to useful chemicals over BiOBr
79
(photoanode) and CuO (photocathode). This article mainly studied PEC oxidation of
80
tetracycline (TC) and PEC reduction of CO2 to liquid fuels such as methanol and ethanol. In
81
addition, a catalytic mechanism was proposed to explain the synergetic effect of PEC
82
oxidation and PEC reduction and the synergetic effect of PC and EC. The present work
83
provides new ideas for the treatment of organic wastewater and good approaches for the
84
promotion of low-cost wastewater treatment processes.

Preparation of electrodes
122
Preparation of anode
123
In a typical procedure, a certain amount of Bi(NO3)3∙5H2O (98.0%) were dissolved into
124
10 mL ethylene glycol (EG) solution, and then slowly added into 10 mL EG solution
125
containing stoichiometric amounts of KBr (99.5%) with the Bi/Br molar ratio of 1:1. And 10
126
mg polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, K-30) was added to the above mixed solution, and then
127
stirred for 30 min at room temperature to obtain a new mixed solution. One piece of FTO
128
substrate (4 cm × 2 cm) was ultrasonically cleaned with acetone, ethanol and deionized water
129
for 0.5 h, and then was dipped into the above mixed solution at a 50 mL Teflon-liner. The
130
autoclave was sealed and maintained at 150 oC for 8 h and then cooled to room temperature.
131
The as-synthesized BiOBr/FTO anode was washed with deionized water and then dried.
132
Preparation of cathode
133
CuO cathode was prepared by hydrothermal method. Typically, 6.4 g NaOH, 1.0954 g
134
(NH4)2S2O8 and 0.211 g Na2WO4·2H2O were added to 32 mL of water, followed by 0.4614 g
135
of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) added to the aqueous solution with stirring to form a white
136
aqueous solution. The Cu meshes were ultrasonically washed with hydrochloric acid, acetone
137
and ethanol for 10 min, respectively. Then it was dipped into the above mixed solution at a 50
138
mL Teflon-liner. The autoclave was sealed and maintained at 130 oC for 24 h and then cooled

143
Degradation of TC by PEC was carried out under potentiostatic conditions in H-type cell,
144
in which a piece of Nafion®117 membrane was used as a separator. Ag/AgCl was the
145
reference electrode, while a Pt foil and the as-prepared BiOBr was used as the cathode and
146
anode, respectively. Visible light was acquired by a 300 W Xe lamp equipped with a 420 nm
147
cutoff filter. The electrolytes used in the anodic and cathodic compartments are 0.1 M Na2SO4,
148
10 ppm TC (80 mL) and 0.1 M KHCO3 (80 mL), respectively. The degradation system was
149
continuously stirred throughout the process. The potential was set at 0, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 V,
150
respectively. The solution was stirred for 0.5 h to achieve adsorption-desorption equilibrium
151
in the dark. Solution was sampled from the anodic compartment at prescribed intervals, and
152
filtered by a cellulose acetate membrane (0.45 m). The removal efficiency of TC was
153
analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometer (MAPADA V-1100D). Similarly, the steps of
154
degradation of TC by photocatalysis (PC) are same to the above PEC steps except that applied
155
voltage was not used, and the steps of degradation of TC by electrocatalysis (EC) are also
156
same to the above PEC except for the absence of light radiation.
157
Catalytic reduction of CO2
158
Three-electrode electrochemical H-type cell system was used in the process of PEC
159
reduction of CO2. Ag/AgCl was used as the reference electrode, while Pt foil and CuO were
160
used as anode and cathode, respectively. A 300 W Xe lamp with a 420 nm cutoff filter was
161
used as visible light source. The electrolytes used in the anodic and cathodic compartments
162
were 0.1 M Na2SO4 (80 mL) and 0.1 M KHCO3 (80 mL), respectively. Prior to reduction, the
163
cathodic electrolyte was purged with CO2 for 0.5 h to be saturated with CO2. The potential
164
was set by 0, -0.6, -0.7 and -0.8 V, respectively. During the reaction, solution was sampled
165
from the cathodic reaction cell at compartment at prescribed intervals, and filtered by a
166
cellulose acetate membrane (0.22 m). Subsequently, CH3OH and C2H5OH concentrations
167
were measured by Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph (FID, DB-WAX column). Similarly, the
168
experimental steps of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 are same as the above steps except that
169
applied voltage was not used, and electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 are same as the above
170
steps except for the absence of light radiation.

The experimental process of TC degradation by PEC coupled with simultaneous
173
reduction of CO2 by PEC is similar to that of PEC degradation of TC. The experimental
174
conditions are same to the above photoelectrocatalytic TC degradation except that CuO was
175
used as cathode. As TC degradation by EC coupled with simultaneous reduction of CO2 by
176
EC, the experimental steps are same as the above PEC processes except for the absence of
177
light radiation. In addition, the experimental conditions of degradation of TC by PC coupled
178
with reduction of CO2 by PC are same to those of TC degradation by PEC coupled with

simultaneous reduction of CO2 by PEC except that applied voltage was not used.

The light absorption of the electrodes were studied by the UV-visible diffuse reflectance
195
spectrum. As shown in Figure S1(a-b), the band gaps of BiOBr and CuO are calculated to be
196
2.86 and 1.48 eV with absorption edges extending to around 430 and 900 nm, respectively,
197
which is similar to the case reported in the literature.48According to the DRS spectra and the
198
Mott-Schottky (MS) plots (Figure S1c), the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) of
199
the BiOBr are calculated to be -0.41 V and 2.45 V vs. SHE, respectively. Figure S1d shows a

Figure 2a displays the degradation efficiency of TC by PC, as well as EC and PEC at the
211
applied potential from 0.6 to 0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl. 39% of TC was degraded by PC after 2.5 h,
212
while 54% and 68% of TC were degraded by EC and PEC at 0.7 V of bias potential after 2.5
213
h, respectively. From 0.6 V to 0.8 V, the degradation efficiency of TC increases with the
214
increase of bias potential. Meanwhile, the degradation efficiencies of TC by PC, as well as by
215
EC and PEC at 0.7 V of bias potential all fit a pseudo-first-order kinetic model (ln(Co/Ct) =
216
kt). And the kinetic constants are calculated as 0.211 h-1, 0.286 h-1 and 0.418 h-1 for PC, EC
217
and PEC, respectively (Figure 2b). The results indicate PEC has much more efficiency for TC
218
degradation than PC and EC, which could be due to the synergistic effect between
219
electrocatalysis and photocatalysis.
220
When the bias voltage was applied, the movements of photogenerated electrons from the
221
external circuit to cathode were improved, leading to the efficient separation of electrons and
222
holes, and finally promoting the degradation efficiency of TC. And Figure S3 shows that the
223
current density of the PEC is significantly greater than that of the single EC, indicating that
224
the PEC has better degradation efficiency of TC than the EC. As shown in Figure 2c, the
225
degradation efficiency of TC by the PEC maintains above 68% and only 2.0% decrease for

Reduction of CO2
237
To investigate the photoelectrochemical performance of the as-prepared CuO for CO2
238
reduction, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) test in N2 or CO2 saturated solution were
239
conducted over photoanode and photocathode. As shown in Figure S4a, the current density in
240
CO2 saturated solution is obviously higher than that of N2 in the BiOBr/CuO system, and the
241
current density further increases under illumination of visible light. And the current density of
242
Pt/CuO system is lower than that of BiOBr/CuO system, confirming that the BiOBr/CuO
243
system was more active for CO2 reduction than the Pt/CuO system.49 The results reveal a
244
superior photoelectrocatalytic performance of CO2 reduction in the BiOBr/CuO system and

245
there should have a significant synergy between photoanode (BiOBr) and photocathode
246
(CuO). Figure S4a shows the onset potential of CO2 reduction on the as-prepared CuO
247
electrode is about -0.5 V. Thus the cathodic potential should be set at negative more than -0.5
248
V so that the reaction of CO2 reduction can be proceeded. Accordingly, the anodic potential
249
should also set at above 0.5 V in the degradation of TC. In the present work, we set the
250
potential at 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 V in the PEC degradation process of TC.
251
As shown in Figure 3a, the formation yield of CH3OH and C2H5OH is up to 100.3
252
μmol/L and 12.00 μmol/L, respectively, at -0.7 V after 2.5 h of PEC reduction. From -0.6 V to
253
-0.8 V, the bias potential of -0.7 V showed the best yield of CH3OH and C2H5OH. The
254
phenomenon could be explained that the reaction is reduction of CO2 at the potential of -0.7 V
255
rather than hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). When the applied voltage is lower than -0.7 V,
256
HER becomes dominant reaction.50 Furthermore, CO2 cannot be reduced to ethanol by PC but
257
ethanol was detected under the reduction by EC. The formation yield of CH3OH and C2H5OH
258
by PEC is much higher than that by EC and PC (Figure 3a). And Figure 3b shows that the
259
current density of the PEC is significantly greater than that of the single EC, indicating that
260
the PEC has higher ability to reduce CO2 than the EC. The main products of CH3OH and
261
C2H5OH are demonstrated by NMR test (Figure S4b).

268
The voltage showed influence on the degradation of TC coupled with PEC reduction of
269
CO2. As shown in Figure 4a, with the potential changing from −0.6 to −1.0 V, the degradation
270
efficiency of the TC firstly increases and an optimum degradation efficiency was found at the
271
bias voltage of 0.7 V. The appropriate applied potential could effectively promote the photo
272
electrons transferring to the counter electrode via external curcuit, which inhibits the
273
recombination of photoelectrons and holes.21 When the voltage increases, the ability of BiOBr
274
anode to degrade TC has a little decrease, which is attributed to the evolution of oxygen at
275
BiOBr anode surface. Similarly, the yield of CH3OH and C2H5OH first increase and then
276
decrease with the increase of voltage and the maximum yield of methanol and ethanol is
277
125.9 μmol/L and 26.5 μmol/L at -0.7 V after 2.5 h, respectively. As shown in Figure S5a, TC
278
can be well decomposed (80%) at 0.7 V in the PEC system according to the results of UV–vis
279
absorption spectra. Furthermore, the total organic carbon (TOC) result also confirms that 51%
280
of TC can be mineralized after 2.5 h reaction (Figure S5b).
281
In order to investigate the role of the anode and cathode electrodes in the different
282
catalytic system, some control experiments were done. As shown in Table 1, for the BiOBr/Pt
283
system with bias potential of 0.7 V, the removal efficiency of TC in the PEC process (68%) is
284
more than that in the PC (39%) and EC (54%) processes, respectively. For the Pt/CuO system
285
at bias potential of 0.7 V, the yield of CH3OH and CH3CH2OH in the PEC process also shows
286
higher than that in both PC and EC processes. Moreover, the degradation efficiency of TC
287
and the yield of CO2 reduction products in the BiOBr/CuO system are all much larger than
288
those in the BiOBr/Pt system and Pt/CuO system, indicating that the photoanode BiOBr film
289
has good degradation rate of TC and the photocathode CuO has good potential for CO2
290
reduction. The above results manifest that there exist significant synergy between PEC
291
degradation of TC and PEC reduction of CO2 in the BiOBr/CuO system.
292
According to the LSV test results, the current density of BiOBr/CuO system was larger
293
than that of Pt/CuO system, confirming that the BiOBr/CuO system was more active in CO2
294
reduction. Thus, the coupling with BiOBr photoanode and CuO photocathode could
295
significantly improve the catalytic activity of the PEC system, and further indicates that the
296
PEC system driven by BiOBr photoanode was more favorable for CO2 reduction. The
297
synergistic effect in BiOBr/CuO system was attributed to the use of photovoltage to

298
compensate cathode potential for CO2 reduction. Due to the photovoltage generated under
299
light radiation, the required electromotive force was significantly reduced using the BiOBr
300
photoanode. 51 Therefore, the cathode potential for CO2 reduction became more negative due
301
to compensation of the bias voltage.52 In addition, the generated photoelectrons at the anode
302
compartment are driven to cathode compartment via an external circuit to participate in CO2
303
reduction in the BiOBr/CuO system. Thus, the full utilization of photovoltage and generated
304
photoelectron result in that there are more favorable for CO2 reduction and the higher yields
305
of CH3OH and C2H5OH in the BiOBr/CuO system than in the system of Pt/CuO.
306
From Figure 4b, the Faradaic efficiency of the PEC CO2 reduction changes with the bias
307
potential from -0.6 to -1.0 V. And the catalyst presents a higher selectivity toward CH3OH
308
formation than CH3CH2OH formation. When the applied voltage is -0.7 V, the faradaic
309
efficiency is the highest with 9.4% and 4.0% for CH3OH and CH3CH2OH, respectively.
310
When the bias potential increases from -0.8 V to -1.0 V, the Faradaic efficiency gradually
311
decreases because the HER became dominant but CO2 reduction was suppressed. As shown in
312
Figure 4c, the current density of BiOBr/CuO system increases firstly and then decreases with
313
time. The significant decrease of the current density was due to reduction of the surface CuO
314
during the reaction, which was confirmed by the XPS results of the photocathode before and
315
after the reaction (Figure S8b). However, the current density of BiOBr is relatively stable with
316
time due to the stability of the BiOBr electrode. In general, the current density in the
317
BiOBr/CuO system is obviously higher than that in the BiOBr/Pt system, indicating that the
318
PEC performance of BiOBr/CuO system is better than that of Pt/CuO system during the
319
degradation of TC.
320
To investigate the stability of the BiOBr electrode and CuO electrode, four cycles
321
experiment for degradation of TC coupled with reduction of CO2 were performed at the
322
applied potential of -0.7 V. Figure 4d shows the degradation efficiency of TC maintains above
323
76% and only has a decrease of 4% after four consecutive cycles. Furthermore, the results of
324
XRD, XPS and Raman of the BiOBr electrode show that there are nearly no change after 2.5
325
h PEC reaction, indicating the BiOBr has good stability (Figures S6-S7). The details are
326
described in the Supporting Information (Text S1). Figure 4d shows the yield of methanol and
327
ethanol are obviously reduced after the four consecutive cycles, indicating that observable

deactivation occurred on the CuO electrode. And Figure S9 shows a gradual decrease in the
329
current density of BiOBr/CuO system after four cycles experiment, which is also attributed to
330
the deactivation of the CuO electrode. The deactivation of the CuO electrode is also observed
331
over other systems reported in the previous literatures.53-54 In addition, the XRD and XPS
332
results of the CuO electrode before and after the reaction (Figures S8(b-c)) also confirm the

poor stability of the CuO electrode during CO2 PEC reduction. The details are described in

performance than the EC.
355
Furthermore, the active species trapping experiments were conducted to explore the
356
mechanism of the degradation of TC in PEC, PC and EC systems by the as-prepared BiOBr.
357
Isopropanol (IPA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) are used as
358
the scavengers of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and holes (h+), respectively. Since the generated
359
electrons in the anode chamber go through the external circuit to the cathode chamber, it is
360
impossible to trap O2 to form superoxide anions (·O2-) in the anode chamber. Therefore, ·O2-
361
are not considered in this degradation process in the anode chamber. As shown in Figure 5,
362
the removal efficiency of TC just has a little decrease when IPA was added in the PC, EC and
363
PEC systems, whereas the removal efficiency of TC markedly decreases when EDTA was
364
added in the PC and PEC systems. This phenomenon suggests that h+ is the main active
365
species for TC degradation in the PC and PEC systems, while electro-oxidation plays a major
366
role for degradation of TC in the EC process. Thus, on the basis of the above analyses, the
367
direct oxidation by holes and electro-oxidation play major role for the degradation of TC in
368
the PEC process.
369
In order to further discuss the possible mechanism of degradation of TC, the
370
intermediates were analyzed using LC-MS (Figure S11). The results of HPLC-MS show that
371
the characteristic peak of TC (m/z= 445) gradually decreased and some new peaks appeared,
372
indicating the BiOBr can degrade TC into small molecules. Based on the m/z values of the
373
intermediate products and the structure of TC shown in the Figure S11, we put forward the
374
pathways of photoelectriccatalytic degradation (Figure 6). As displayed in Fig. 6, the TC
375
(m/z= 445(A)) was splintered into B (m/z=405) through the deamidation reaction. And the B
376
changes into C (m/z= 362) via loss of dimethylamino group with increasing the illumination
377
time. As the reaction proceeded, the C was fragmented into the D (m/z= 318) via
378
dehydroxylation, opening of benzene rings and deethylation.56 Then the D was changed to E
379
(m/z= 274) via deacetylation reaction.57 Finally, all the above intermediates could be
380
degraded into CO2 and H2O.

The mechanism of photoelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction was shown in Figure 7, and H+ and O2 were formed at the anode according to the below reaction (Eq. 1):58 H2O → 2H+ + 1/2O2 + 2e-

an electron from the CuO electrode to form a CO2*- radical, and further accepts an electron to
390
form the carboxyl (*COOH) intermediate. The generated *COOH could be reduced to *CO,
391
and then the generated *CO is subsequent hydrogenation to *COH or *CHO.53 The *COH or
392
*CHO further accepts proton-electron to form CH3OH. On the other hand, *CO would further

attributed to the peak of COO-,62 while the band around 3429 cm-1 corresponds to the O-H
404
stretching of alcohol.53 The intensity of these peaks increases as the increase of reaction time,
405
indicating the formation of alcohol products. The bands at 2841 cm-1 and 1446 cm-1
406
correspond to C-H stretching vibration of -CH2- and deformation vibration of -CH3,
407
respectively.63 In addition, the peaks related to C-H and C-O are observed at 1109 cm-1 and
408
1002 cm-1, respectively.53 Therefore, the above results indicate the generation of methanol and

ethanol.

413
Therefore, the synergetic mechanism of TC degradation coupled with PEC CO2
414
reduction can be proposed in Scheme 1. In the part of anode, TC was degraded by direct holes
415
oxidation and electro-oxidation. Meanwhile, water can also be oxidized by the BiOBr
416
electrode to produce H+ and O2. And then the generated H+ at the anode compartment was
417
driven to cathode compartment via Nafion 117 and the generated e- at the anode was driven to
418
the cathode via a potentiostat, respectively. Finally, CO2 adsorbs on the CuO electrode and
419
then reacts with H+ to produce CH3OH and C2H5OH when it gets some electrons from the
420
CuO electrode. The reaction processes can be shown in Eqs. (2-13):

Conclusions
437
In summary, a novel strategy through the merging of PEC oxidation and PEC reduction
438
was proposed for the realization of organic pollutants degradation with simultaneous CO2
439
reduction to useful chemicals over BiOBr photoanode and CuO photocathode under visible
440
light. Experimental results demonstrate that there is a synergistic effect between PEC
441
oxidation and PEC reduction and the mechanism of synergistic catalysis was put forward.
442
This work for the first time provides an efficient catalytic system for pollutant degradation
443
