Knack behind the high performance CdS/ZnS-NiS nanocomposites: Optimizing synergistic effect between cocatalyst and heterostructure for boosting hydrogen evolution

Dandan Ma et al.

Summary: Introducing a co-catalyst and constructing a heterostructure are two effective strategies in improving the photocatalytic H2 evolution performance of semiconductors. This study successfully fabricated a co-catalyst NiS decorated ZnS/CdS heterostructure for efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution from water splitting. The optimized heterostructure showed a high hydrogen evolution rate without the need for additional noble metal co-catalyst, demonstrating the synergistic effect between the heterostructure and co-catalyst. The one-pot fabrication process allowed for the formation of closely contacted interfaces and sufficient exposure of active reaction sites, leading to enhanced H2 evolution ability.

Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic H2 Production from H2O Boosted by Hydroxyl Groups on Alumina

Binran Zhao et al.

Summary: Alumina, when combined with an appropriate content of OH groups (AOH), can effectively enhance the visible-light-driven photocatalytic H-2 production from H2O by supporting CdS and Pt nanoparticles. The OH groups improve the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and promote the removal of O atoms, resulting in higher H-2 evolution rate and quantum efficiency.

In-plane benzene incorporated g-C3N4 microtubes: Enhanced visible light harvesting and carrier transportation for photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Wen-Feng Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was modified by introducing pi electron-rich benzene rings, which improved the availability of pi electron and created local asymmetry in the heptazine structure. This modification enhanced the separation and transportation of photogenerated charges, as well as enhanced light absorption. The in-plane benzene modified g-C3N4 microtubes showed a CO yield two times higher than pristine g-C3N4 when used in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. This work highlights the effectiveness of in-plane benzene modification and 1D hollow structure formation in improving the photoelectric performance of g-C3N4, and provides a efficient protocol for CO2 reduction using nonmetallic semiconductor material and earth-abundant metal co-catalyst.
