Computation-based regulation of excitonic effects in donor-acceptor covalent organic frameworks for enhanced photocatalysis

Yunyang Qian et al.

Summary: The band alignment and charge transfer features of potential donor-acceptor (D-A) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are assessed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and their exciton binding energy (E-b) can be regulated by adjusting the D-A interaction strengths. By synthesizing the corresponding D-A COFs, it is demonstrated that their photocatalytic hydrogen production activities match well with the calculation results.

Photodeposition of CoO x and MoS 2 on CdS as dual cocatalysts for photocatalytic H 2 production

Tingmin Di et al.

Summary: Photocatalytic H 2 production from water splitting has great potential in addressing energy and environmental issues. However, the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers hinders the efficiency and practical application of photocatalysis. In this study, noble-metal-free MoS 2 and CoO x cocatalysts were loaded on CdS nanorods using a two-step photodeposition method. The MoS 2 cocatalyst functions as a reduction agent to capture electrons, while the CoO x cocatalyst acts as an oxidation agent to capture holes. The results from TEM, ICP, XPS, and Mott-Schottky analysis confirm the effectiveness of the photodeposition method in loading the dual cocatalysts and their influence on the photochemical properties. The optimized CdS-MoS 2 -CoO x composite exhibits high photocatalytic H 2 -production rate and apparent quantum efficiency, attributed to the prolonged lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers and reduced charge recombination rates enabled by the dual cocatalysts. This work presents a facile and effective strategy for constructing highly efficient dual-cocatalyst-modified CdS photocatalysts for photocatalytic H 2 production.
