Metal-organic framework-derived three-dimensional CoSe2/Cd0.8Zn0.2S Schottky junction for highly efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution

Guojun Li et al.

Summary: A well-designed interface plays a crucial role in improving charge transfer kinetics. In this study, a three-dimensional CoSe2/Cd0.8Zn0.2S photocatalyst with a Schottky junction was successfully synthesized using zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as the precursor material. The photocatalytic H2 generation rate of 3.2%-CoSe2/Cd0.8Zn0.2S is 80 times higher than that of pristine Cd0.8Zn0.2S. Characterization techniques (XPS, TRPL, EPR, etc.) and DFT calculations reveal that the improved photocatalytic performance is attributed to the formation of a Schottky junction between CoSe2 and Cd0.8Zn0.2S. The well-designed interface facilitates electron transfer from Cd0.8Zn0.2S to CoSe2, while the Schottky barrier suppresses electron backflow, leading to efficient charge carrier separation. Additionally, the noble metal-free CoSe2 with a larger specific surface area acts as an electron acceptor and active site for efficient reduction of H+ to H2, contributing to the enhanced H2 generation performance.

Jiashu Huang et al.

Summary: In this study, a facile strategy was introduced for the creation of oxygen vacancies in BiOI via Sr2+ doping, leading to significantly enhanced photocatalytic degradation of indometacin under visible light exposure. The improved performance was attributed to the accelerated separation of charge carriers by oxygen vacancies and electron trapping by Sr ions. The study provides new insights for the synthesis of efficient and cost-effective BiOI-based photocatalysts and offers a promising strategy for advanced environmental remediation.
