One-pot hydrothermal synthesis of willow branch-shaped MoS2/CdS heterojunctions for photocatalytic H2 production under visible light irradiation

Willow branch-shaped MoS₂/CdS heterojunctions are successfully synthesized for the first time by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoelectrochemical and photoluminescence spectroscopy tests. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activities of the samples were evaluated under visible light irradiation. The resulting MoS₂/CdS heterojunctions exhibit a much improved photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity than that obtained with CdS and MoS₂. In particular, the optimized MC-5 (5 at.% MoS₂/CdS) photocatalyst achieved the highest hydrogen production rate of 250.8 μmol h^-1, which is 28 times higher than that of pristine CdS. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) at 420 nm was 3.66%. Further detailed characterizations revealed that the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the MoS₂/CdS heterojunctions could be attributed to the efficient transfer and separation of photogenerated charge carriers resulting from the core-shell structure and the close contact between MoS₂ nanosheets and CdS single-crystal nanorods, as well as to increased visible light absorption. A tentative mechanism for photocatalytic H₂ evolution by MoS₂/CdS heterojunctions was proposed. This work will open up new opportunities for developing more efficient photocatalysts for water splitting.     

表面缺陷与钯的沉积对硫化镉纳米晶粒的光催化制氢性能的影响

The development of the photocatalytic production of hydrogen from water splitting has attracted immense attention in recent years. CdS is a potential photocatalyst with a visible light response, though it still suffers from a limited activity for hydrogen production due to the fast recombination of photo-induced electron/hole pairs and the low reaction rate of hydrogen evolution on the surface. Studies on the effect of CdS surface structure and properties on hydrogen production are still very limited. In this work, we prepared three CdS nanocrystals with different morphologies: long rod, short rod, and triangular plate. The prepared samples were well characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). From the results of TEM, XRD and XPS, we find that the three CdS nanocrystals with different morphologies were successfully synthesized. From the PL spectra, we conclude that the area of exposed nonpolar surface and degree of surface defects increase with an increase in aspect ratio. We also performed the photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction using the three CdS crystals. Long rod-like CdS (lr-CdS) exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity, with a hydrogen production rate of 482 μmol·h^-1·g^-1, which is 2.6 times that of short rod-like CdS (sr-CdS) (183 μmol·h^-1·g^-1) and 8.8 times that of triangular plate-like CdS (tp-CdS, 55 μmol h^-1·g^-1). It is found that lr-CdS shows a higher hydrogen production rate than sr-CdS and tp-CdS. We find that the hydrogen production rate is related to the degree of surface defects. Surface defects can trap the photo-induced electrons/holes, thus decreasing their probability of recombination. In addition, these defects can be used to anchor Pd particles to form a heterojunction structure that facilitates the separation of photo-induced charges. Therefore, we also compared three CdS/Pd nanocrystals synthesized with the three abovementioned morphologies with respect to hydrogen production. With 1% (w, mass fraction) Pd, the hydrogen production rate was greatly enhanced compared to all the CdS catalysts. Compared to the unpromoted CdS, the reaction rate is enhanced 43.1, 10.7 and 6.0 times over those of sr-CdS, lr-CdS and tp-CdS, respectively. Notably, the hydrogen production rate with short rod-like CdS/Pd reaches 7884 μmol·h^-1·g^-1, which can be favorably compared with the ever-increasing values reported in the literature. Hopefully, this work provides knowledge on the effect of crystal surface structure and properties on photocatalysis.

Carbon dots/Bi_2WO_6 composite with compensatory photo-electronic effect for overall water photo-splitting at normal pressure

Overall water photo-splitting is a prospective ideal pathway to produce ultra-clean H_2 energy by semiconductors.However,the band structure of many semiconductors cannot satisfy the requirement of H_2 and O_2 production at the same time.Herein,we illustrate that carbon dots(CDs)/Bi_2 WO_6 photocatalyst with compensatory photo-electronic effect has enhanced activity for overall water photo-splitting without any sacrificial agent.In this complex photocatalytic system,the photo-potential provided by CDs makes the CDs/Bi_2 WO6(C-BWO) composite could satisfy the band structure conditions for overall water photo-splitting.The C-BWO composite(3 wt% CDs content) exhibits optimized hydrogen evolution(oxygen evolution) of 0.28 μmol/h(0.12 μmol/h) with an approximate 2:1(H_2:O_2) stoichiometry at normal pressure.We further employed the in-situ transient photovoltage(TPV) technique to study the photoelectron extraction and the interface charge transfer kinetics of this composite catalyst.     

大规模合成非贵金属磷化物/CdS复合光催化剂高效可见光催化产氢（英文）

目前,在可见光照射下光催化产氢是一条解决能源短缺的理想途径.该途径实现工业化的两个关键因素是得到低成本的光催化剂和高的产氢效率.非贵金属助催化剂代替贵金属可大大降低光催化剂的成本.通过简单的方法大规模合成并组装半导体和非贵金属助催化剂以形成复合光催化剂可进一步降低成本.本文采用大规模和低成本的共沉淀法合成了磷化物/CdS光催化剂,实现了光催化产氢.当负载CoP和Mo P助催化剂后,光催化产氢活性得到大幅度提高.其中CoP/CdS和Mo P/CdS的最佳产氢量分别为140和78μmol/h,并分别为CdS的7.0倍和4.0倍,分别为Pt/CdS的2.0倍和1.1倍.这说明磷化物CoP和Mo P是具有优良催化活性的低成本非贵金属助催化剂,可以代替贵金属助催化剂应用在光催化产H_2中.在制备磷化物/CdS时,先将两种磷化物反应原料分别在水热反应釜和马弗炉中煅烧合成前驱体,再分别在管式炉氮气和氢气氛围中进行磷化得到磷化物Mo P和CoP.然后,将得到的Mo P和CoP分别溶解在Cd(NO_3)_2·4H_2O溶液中,在搅拌状态下逐滴加入Na_2S溶液形成沉淀,即可得到复合物磷化物/CdS.CoP/CdS和Mo P/CdS的HRTEM观察显示,磷化物助催化剂与CdS半导体紧密结合,证明了共沉淀法制备助催化剂/半导体复合光催化剂的有效性.磷化物与CdS的紧密结合促进了光激发电子从CdS向磷化物转移,从而大大提高了光催化产氢活性.这项工作为低成本大规模制备光催化剂和光催化产H_2实现工业化提供了一条可行性思路.     

Preparation of a MWCNTs/ZnIn2S4 composite and its enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible-light irradiation

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ZnIn(2)S(4) composites were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method, which was used for hydrogen production under visible-light (λ≥ 420 nm) irradiation. The obtained MWCNTs/ZnIn(2)S(4) composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry analyses (TG-DSC), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance absorption spectra (DRS), Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR) and Photoluminescence spectra (PL). It was found that the MWCNTs were embedded into the interior of floriated ZnIn(2)S(4) microspheres. The effects of the composite ratio in the MWCNTs/ZnIn(2)S(4) on the photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production were investigated. The results show that the 3 wt% MWCNTs/ZnIn(2)S(4) composite reaches its maximum photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency with an apparent quantum efficiency as high as 23.3% under 420 nm light irradiation. The significantly enhanced photoactivity for the present composite originates from the synergetic effect of its component intrinsic properties. A possible mechanism of the MWCNTs/ZnIn(2)S(4) composite as a photocatalyst for H(2) evolution was proposed.     

Fabrication of ZnS/CdS Heterojunction by Using Bimetallic MOFs Template for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation

A new ZnS/CdS heterojunction is constructed through the direct sulfurization of a metal ions exchanged Zn/Cd-MOF precursor(MOF=metal-organic framework material). The composition, structure, morphology, photo-absorption and photoelectric performance of the ZnS/CdS are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM), diffuse reflection spectrum(DRS), photoelectric current(PEC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and photoluminescence(PL) technologies. Since the metal ions are highly orderly separated by the organic ligands and the inherent porosity of the Zn/Cd-MOF, the as-synthesized ZnS/CdS possesses a large surface area and intimate contact at the heterogeneous interface with uniform ZnS/CdS nanoparticles. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of the ZnS/CdS is investigated under visible light irradiation(λ ≥ 420 nm). It exhibits enhanced photocatalytic performance that the optimal ZnS/CdS achieves a maximum average hydrogen production rate of 2348 μmol·h^-1·g^-1. A possible electron transfer mechanism is therefore proposed by the analyses of the Mott-Schottky plots.     

利用地球上丰富的炭黑和NiS_2双助催化剂修饰提高CdS纳米片体系的可见光产氢活性(英文)

光催化产氢技术是目前解决能源和环境问题的最有潜力的方法之一,因此制备安全高效的光催化剂已成为目前的研究热点.在目前研究的各种光催化剂中,CdS光催化剂因为具有较窄的带隙(2.4 eV)和合适的导带位置,所以在可见光催化产氢领域受到广泛关注.然而,光生电子/空穴对易复合和光腐蚀作用极大地限制了CdS光催化剂的放大应用.因此,人们采用众多改性策略以提高CdS光催化剂的可见光产氢活性,其中构建CdS纳米结构和负载助催化剂被认为是最有效的方式.构建CdS纳米结构既可以缩短载流子的迁移路径,也可以减少CdS晶体中的缺陷.很多不同纳米结构的CdS光催化剂已经被开发,例如纳米线、纳米颗粒和纳米棒等.因为制备过程极为复杂繁琐,所以CdS纳米片的研究鲜见报道.本文采用乙酸鎘和硫脲为原材料,通过简单的溶剂热法合成了CdS纳米片.在CdS的各类助催化剂中,由于常用的Pt,Ag和Au等贵金属的高成本和低储量等问题严重限制了它们的实际应用,所以近年来众多非贵金属助催化剂(例如MoS_2,WS2,NiS,NiO和WC等)得到了广泛关注.由于非贵金属助催化剂存在弱电导率和低功函数等问题,影响了对光生电子的收集和利用.纳米碳材料具有极高的电导率、强可见光吸收、有效的载流子分离和较多的反应位点等优点,因此组合纳米碳材料和非贵金属助催化剂被认为是一种有效的解决方案.本文首次采用炭黑和NiS_2作为双助催化剂改性CdS纳米片,通过简单的溶剂热/沉淀两步法成功合成了廉价高效的CdS/CB/NiS_2三元光催化体系.光催化产氢性能测试表明,CdS-0.5%CB-1%NiS_2展现出最高的光催化效率(166.7μmol h~(-1)),分别是CdS NSs和CdS-1.0%NiS_2的5.16和1.87倍.X射线衍射、高分辨电子显微镜和X射线光电子能谱结果证实了CdS催化剂的片状结构,且炭黑和NiS_2成功负载在CdS纳米片表面.紫外-可见漫反射结果表明,随着炭黑和NiS_2的负载,复合催化剂的吸收边缘产生明显的红移,且对可见光的吸收增强.荧光光谱、阻抗和瞬态光电流曲线测试结果证明,炭黑和NiS_2的加入可以有效地促进光生电子/空穴对分离.极化曲线结果表明,加入炭黑和NiS_2可以降低CdS的产氢过电势,因此加速表面产氢动力学.总之,炭黑和NiS_2之间显著的协同效应极大地提高了可见光吸收,促进光生电子/空穴对分离,加速表面产氢动力学,最终得到了三元光催化体系极高的光催化产氢活性.     

C-N共掺杂纳米TiO2的制备及其光催化制氢活性

DRS结果表明, 所制得的C-N共掺杂的TiO2在可见光区域比P25表现出更强的光吸收性能. 以Na2S-Na2SO3体系为牺牲剂, 分别考察了不同温度下焙烧得到的C-N共掺杂的TiO2光催化分解水产氢的活性. 结果表明, 550 ℃焙烧得到的C-N共掺杂的TiO2在紫外光照射下具有最高的光解水产氢活性,产氢速率为41.1 μmol·h-1, 大于P25的光解水产氢活性(26.2 μmol·h-1). 在紫外-可见光照射下, 光解水产氢速率仅为0.2 μmol·h-1, 这可能是由于C-N掺杂引起的可见光范围的吸收对光催化分解水产氢活性的贡献较小.
