2D Honeycomb-Kagome Polymer Tandem as Effective Metal-Free Photocatalysts for Water Splitting

Yu Jing et al.

Summary: The study explores the potential of 2D honeycomb-kagome polymers made of heteroatom-centered triangulene derivatives in photocatalyzing water splitting based on first-principles calculations. These polymers possess indirect bandgaps and show pronounced light absorption in the ultraviolet and visible region, allowing for effective overall water splitting with suppressed electron/hole recombination. Additionally, the potential difference between half-electrodes can be utilized to power auxiliary components in self-sufficient photocatalyzers.

Tunable charge transfer efficiency in HxMoO3@ZnIn2S4 hierarchical direct Z-scheme heterojunction toward efficient visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution

Fangshu Xing et al.

Summary: Hierarchical direct Z-scheme composites of ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheets on HxMoO3 nanobelts exhibit significantly higher H-2-production activity than pristine ZnIn2S4. The high conductivity and tunable charge transfer efficiency of the HxMoO3 component contribute to the effective transport of charge carriers. The hierarchical architecture increases intimate interface for effective separation of electron-hole pairs and exposes more reactive sites.

Efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution, CO2 reduction and N2 fixation coupled with organic synthesis by cocatalyst and vacancies engineering

Sugang Meng et al.

Summary: In this study, 2D/2D-3D Ni12P5/ZnIn2S4 (NP/ZIS) heterostructures were prepared via zinc vacancies (V-Zn) engineering and cocatalyst modification, showing efficient reactivity and stability for visible-light-driven photocatalytic splitting of benzyl alcohol. Compared to pure water splitting and individual ZIS, the thermodynamics and kinetics of H-2 production over 7% NP/ZIS are significantly enhanced, and NP/ZIS also demonstrates promising capability for photocatalytic CO2 reduction and N-2 fixation coupled with organic synthesis. This work offers a practical approach to fabricate efficient photocatalysts and provides insights for utilizing photoexcited holes and electrons towards solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

Layered Perovskite Oxyiodide with Narrow Band Gap and Long Lifetime Carriers for Water Splitting Photocatalysis

Kanta Ogawa et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Ba2Bi3Nb2O11I functions as a stable photocatalyst, efficiently oxidizing water under visible light. By incorporating highly polarizable iodide, longer carrier lifetime and higher quantum efficiency are achieved compared to chloride and bromide counterparts, enabling visible-light-driven Z-scheme water splitting for the first time in an iodine-based system. The novel approach of incorporating polarizable soft anions into building blocks of layered materials manipulates the band structure and improves the carrier dynamics for visible-light responsive functions.

In-N-In Sites Boosting Interfacial Charge Transfer in Carbon-Coated Hollow Tubular In2O3/ZnIn2S4 Heterostructure Derived from In-MOF for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Quan Zhang et al.

Summary: A hierarchical hollow tubular In2O3/ZnIn2S4 heterostructure was designed by growing thin-layered ZnIn2S4 on the surface of carbon-coated hollow tubular In2O3, which showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. The enhanced activity was attributed to narrowed band gap of C/HT-In2O3 and formation of staggered heterostructure between C/HT-In2O3 and ZnIn2S4, which facilitated fast interfacial charge transfer.
