Construction of hollow tubular Co9S8/ZnSe S-scheme heterojunctions for enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution

Mengchao Li et al.

Summary: In this study, ZnSe nanoparticles with good visible-light response were in-situ deposited on the surface of hollow tubular Co9S8 through hydrothermal and solvothermal methods, forming compact Co9S8/ZnSe heterojunctions. The composites with an optimum Co9S8 amount of 5 wt% exhibited significantly higher hydrogen evolution activity under visible light irradiation, 3.1 times that of independent ZnSe. The Co9S8-ZnSe heterojunction promoted the separation of electron-hole pairs, improved hydrogen evolution kinetics, and reduced electron transfer resistance, leading to the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composites. The proposed S-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic mechanism was based on the measured energy band potentials. This work presents a strategy for constructing low-cost heterojunction photocatalysts to enhance hydrogen evolution performance.

Supphadate Sujinnapram et al.

Summary: In this study, a photocatalytic material consisting of ZnO and yttrium-doped ZnO nanoparticles was prepared. YZO possessed a smaller crystal and grain size than ZnO, resulting in a larger specific surface area and pore volume. Chemical defects were introduced in YZO, which enhanced the photocatalytic activity. Yttrium-doped ZnO nanoparticles showed a higher degradation rate for carbaryl compared to pure ZnO.

Hui Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, a waxberry-like CeO2 photocatalyst with enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance was achieved through Sm doping and Ag quantum dots anchoring. The doping increased the concentration of oxygen vacancies in CeO2, resulting in a narrower bandgap and improved visible light utilization efficiency. The captured electrons by the vacancies effectively restricted the recombination of photo-excited carriers, leading to enhanced photocatalytic activities.
