Challenges of Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanisms

Linxi Wang et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the challenges of photocatalytic mechanisms in liquid-phase and all-solid-state Z-scheme systems from various perspectives, including thermodynamics, charge-transfer dynamics, applicability, and practical synthesis. It highlights the challenges for electron transfer in liquid-phase Z-scheme systems, where the dynamic motion of photocatalyst nanoparticles and redox couples, as well as the prohibition of transferring free electrons via water media, ultimately led to the flourishing of step-scheme heterojunctions.

Interface Modulation of FePc/Porous Ti(HPO4)2 Z-Scheme Heterojunctions with Ultrafine Ag for Efficiently Photocatalytic CO Oxidation

Xinjia Zhang et al.

Summary: An integrative Z-scheme heterojunction of ultrafine Ag-modulated FePc/porous Ti(HPO4)(2) nanosheet (FePc/Ag/TiP NS) with extended spectrum response is designed for efficient CO oxidation. The enhanced photoactivity is attributed to accelerated Z-scheme charge transfer and the presence of well-defined Fe2+ ion and extended visible light response. The interfacial modulation of ultrafine Ag embedded in TiP NS enables the directional migration of electrons and the controllable assembly of FePc, resulting in strengthened charge transfer. The activated O-2 by Fe-N-4 sites in FePc reacts with CO adsorbed on TiP NS to produce CO2.

CoS@TiO2 S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst for hydrogen production from photoinduced water splitting

Hyerim Park et al.

Summary: A core-shell xCoS@yTiO2 heterojunction catalyst is synthesized by weaving cobalt sulfide microsheet particles into a polyhedral cage and enclosing it with titanium dioxide nanoparticles, resulting in higher photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution. The favorable bandgap location for water splitting, higher photocurrent density, lower photoluminescence, and strong redox sites of the catalyst delay the recombination of photo-induced electron/hole pairs, leading to stable high catalytic efficiency even after repeated recycling.
