Type-II CdS/PtSSe heterostructures used as highly efficient water-splitting photocatalysts

Guangzhao Wang et al.

Summary: The design of two-dimensional heterostructures is an effective way to modify the properties of 2D materials. In this study, CdS/PtSSe heterostructures were investigated for their photocatalytic activity using first-principles calculations. The results showed that the small lattice mismatches and negative interface formation energies made the CdS/PtSSe heterostructures feasible, with small bandgaps allowing them to efficiently absorb visible light. The stacking configurations had little effect on the electronic structures, but the contact sides could switch between type-I and type-II heterostructures. The type-II CdS/PtSSe heterostructures promoted the separation of photogenerated carriers, while the band edges fulfilled the thermodynamic requirements for photocatalytic water-splitting, achieving solar-to-hydrogen efficiencies of up to 37.5%.

Jian Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, a highly active and durable multicomponent catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was developed. The catalyst, consisting of cobalt nanoparticles confined inside bamboo-like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ultralow ruthenium loading on the exterior walls, exhibited exceptional HER activity. The atomic-scale structural investigations and theoretical calculations revealed that the confined inner cobalt and loaded outer ruthenium induced charge redistribution and synergistic electron coupling, optimizing the adsorption energy of H intermediates and facilitating electron/mass transfer. The results demonstrated that the Co@CNTs | Ru catalyst achieved top-level catalytic activity among all reported HER catalysts. This work provides new insights for the rational design of carbon-supported metal catalysts for practical applications.
