Insights into the efficient charge separation over Nb2O5/2D-C3N4 heterostructure for exceptional visible-light driven H2 evolution

Two-dimensional carbon nitride(2 D-C₃ N₄)nanosheets are promising materials in photocatalytic water splitting,but still suffer from easy agglomeration and fast photogene rated electron-hole pairs recombination.To tackle this issue,herein,a hierarchical Nb₂ O₅/2 D-C₃ N₄ heterostructure is precisely constructed and the built-in electric field between Nb₂O₅ and 2 D-C₃ N₄ can provide the driving force to separate/transfer the charge carriers efficiently.Moreover,the strongly Lewis acidic Nb₂O₅ can adsorb TEOA molecules on its surface at locally high concentrations to facilitate the oxidation reaction kinetics under irradiation,resulting in efficient photogene rated electrons-holes separation and exceptional photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.As expected,the champion Nb₂O₅/2 D-C₃N₄ heterostructure achieves an exceptional H2 evolution rate of 31.6 mmol g^-1 h^-1,which is 213.6 times and 4.3 times higher than that of pristine Nb₂O₅ and2 D-C₃N₄,respectively.Moreover,the champion heterostructure possesses a high apparent quantum efficiency(AQE)of 45.08%atλ=405 nm and superior cycling stability.Furthermore,a possible photocatalytic mechanism of the energy band alignment at the hetero-interface is proposed based on the systematical characterizations accompanied by density functional theory(DFT)calculations.This work paves the way for the precise construction of a high-quality heterostructured photocatalyst with efficient charge separation to boost hydrogen production.

Mn2+、N2-共掺杂Zn2GeO4晶体电子结构和光学性质的研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的平面波超软赝势方法对本征Zn2GeO4，Mn2+掺杂Zn2GeO4，Mn2+/N2-共掺杂Zn2GeO4超晶胞进行了几何结构优化，计算了掺杂前后体系的晶格常数、能带结构、态密度和光学性质。结果表明，Mn离子掺入后，Mn离子3d轨道与O离子2p轨道之间有强烈的轨道杂化效应，掺杂系统不稳定，而Mn/N离子共掺后，Mn离子和N离子之间的吸引作用克服了Mn离子之间的排斥作用，能够明显地提高掺杂浓度和体系的稳定性。光学性质计算结果表明，Mn离子与N离子共掺杂能改善Zn2GeO4电子在低能区的光学跃迁特性，增强电子在可见光区的光学跃迁；吸收谱计算结果显示，Mn离子与N离子掺入后体系对低频电磁波吸收增加。     

Nanostructured BiVO4 Derived from Bi-MOF for Enhanced Visible-light Photodegradation

BiVO4,a promising visible-light responding photocatalyst,has aroused extensive research interest because of inexpensiveness and excellent chemical stability.However,its main drawback is the poor photoinduced charge-transfer dynamics.Building nanostructures is an effective way to tackle this problem.Herein,we put forward a new method to prepare nanostructured BiVO4 from Bi-based metal-organic frameworks[Bi-MOF(CAU-17)]precursor.The as-prepared material has a rod-like morphology inherited from the Bi-MOF sacrificial template and consists of small nanoparticle as building blocks.Compared with its counterparts prepared by conventional methods,MOF-derived nanostructured BiVO4 shows better light absorption ability,narrower bandgap,and improved electrical conductivity as well as reduced recombination.Consequently,BiVO4 nanostructure demonstrates high photocatalytic activity under visible light towards the degradation of methylene blue.Methylene blue can be degraded up to 90%within 30 min with a reaction rate constant of 0.058 min-1.Moreover,the cycling stability of the catalyst is excellent to withstand unchanged degradation efficiency for at least 5 cycles.
