Simultaneous realization of sulfur-rich surface and amorphous nanocluster of NiS1+x cocatalyst for efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution

Wei Zhong et al.

Summary: Transition-metal sulfides, such as NiS1+x nanoclusters, have been shown to enhance H-2 evolution rates in photocatalysts by providing active unsaturated S sites. The study demonstrates that NiS1+x nanoclusters anchored on TiO2 particles greatly improve the efficiency and stability of photocatalytic H-2 production. This method can also be extended to other metal sulfides to further enhance H-2-evolution activity.

Operating redox couple transport mechanism for enhancing photocatalytic H2 generation of Pt and CrOx-decorated ZnCdS nanocrystals

Munir Ahmad et al.

Summary: Metal sulfide photocatalysts are at the forefront of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and solar energy conversion due to their suitable electronic and optical properties. However, the efficiency of these photocatalysts is often limited by slow transfer of photogenerated holes and sluggish water dissociation kinetics. A new Pt-CrOx/ZnCdS photocatalyst has been proposed to improve HER efficiency by utilizing a redox couple transport mechanism, leading to enhanced hydrogen production and phenol degradation in alkaline media.
