Alkali Metal Cations as Charge-Transfer Bridge for Polarization Promoted Solar-to-H2 Conversion

Meiyang Wang et al.

Summary: Utilizing the electric field of ferroelectric materials to separate and transfer photogenerated charges has been considered as a promising approach to develop efficient photocatalysts. In this study, a novel heterostructure was fabricated by coupling potassium poly(heptazine imide) with ferroelectric BaxSr1-xTiO3. The intimate interfacial contact between the two materials enhances the internal electric field, while the potassium ions in K-PHI act as charge-transfer bridges to promote the migration and separation of photogenerated charge carriers. The resulting catalyst, 5% K-PHI/B0.8ST, exhibits a significantly improved H-2-evolution rate and exceptional stability.

Shunya Yoshino et al.

Summary: In this study, we demonstrated the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 using water as an electron donor under visible light irradiation. The Z-scheme system using bare (CuGa)(0.5)ZnS2 photocatalyst and RGO-(CoOx/BiVO4) as an O2-evolving photocatalyst exhibited efficient CO production accompanied by H2 and O2 evolution. The addition of a basic salt enhanced the CO formation rate and selectivity. This Z-scheme system also showed activity for solar CO2 reduction using water as an electron donor. The bare (CuGa)(0.5)ZnS2 powder loaded on an FTO glass was used as a photocathode, resulting in the production of CO and H2 with high Faradaic efficiencies.

Rational Design of Coordination Bond Connected Metal Organic Frameworks/MXene Hybrids for Efficient Solar Water Splitting

Litong Shi et al.

Summary: Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used as photocatalysts, but carrier recombination limits their activity. In this study, carboxyl groups on MXene were used to coordinate with UiO-66-NH2(Zr/Ti) (UZT) and create a tightly connected UiO-66-NH2(Zr/Ti)/carboxyl-functionalized MXene (UZT/CFMX) heterostructure. This unique heterostructure showed efficient solar-driven photocatalytic performance for water splitting, with a hydrogen evolution rate much higher than other MOF-based photocatalysts.
