Non-metal doping induced dual p-n charge properties in a single ZnIn2S4 crystal structure provoking charge transfer behaviors and boosting photocatalytic hydrogen generation

Wei-Kean Chong et al.

Summary: The construction of a heterojunction has traditionally been considered the main technique for effective solar-driven photocatalytic water splitting. However, the realization of a p-n homojunction is an attractive scheme due to non-defective layer coupling and minor charge transfer impedance. In this study, nitrogen-doped ZnIn2S4 (N-ZIS) with dual p-n charge properties was easily synthesized via a one-step in-situ solvothermal method. The results show that the substitution of host intrinsics with extrinsic nitrogen atoms improves the charge transfer rate and inhibits electron-hole pair recombination. First-principle density functional theory calculations confirm that the p-n nature induced by N-doping redistributes charge in the ZIS framework and reduces the kinetic barrier of the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Hole scavenger-free nitrogen photofixation in pure water with non-metal B-doped carbon nitride: Implicative importance of B species for N2 activation

Jiale Lee et al.

Summary: This study presents a facile synthesis of defective and atomically thin g-C3N4 with boron sites as an efficient photocatalyst for solar-driven N2 fixation. The optimized catalyst achieved a high NH3 yield of 213.59 μmol gcat(-1) h(-1) under visible light irradiation in pure water, without the need for any hole scavenger. The superior performance can be attributed to the role of boron sites in N2 adsorption, activation, and reduction, as well as the shortened charge transport pathway, suppression of quantum size effect, and extended photo-response through bandgap reduction.

Summary: In this article, the indirect to direct band gap transition in Cs3Sb2Cl9-xBx perovskites with Br substitution is studied.
