Summary: Noble metal-free photocatalysts are essential for cost control in practical applications. Researchers developed a non-noble metal photocatalyst composed of N-doped carbon-W2N (NC-W2N) anchored on Al-doped SrTiO3 (Al-SrTiO3) to achieve efficient photocatalytic overall water splitting. The optimized NC-W2N/Al-SrTiO3 demonstrated significantly higher H2 evolution rate compared to Al-SrTiO3, with AQE values of 2.57% and 0.56% at 350 nm and 400 nm, respectively. The practical exploration in natural saltwater showed a surprising H2 generation rate for the NC-W2N/Al-SrTiO3 photocatalyst.

Sulphur vacancies-VS2@C3N4 drived by in situ supramolecular self-assembly for synergistic photocatalytic degradation of real wastewater and H2 production: Vacancies taming interfacial compact heterojunction and carriers transfer

Gen Li et al.

Summary: In this article, a universal method for the synthesis of compact heterojunction VS2@C3N4 with S vacancies was developed via in situ supramolecular self-assembly method. The material showed outstanding catalytic activity, stability, and hydrogen production rate. The presence of S vacancies resulted in the formation of a compact heterostructure and reduction of the work function, promoting interfacial carriers transfer and surface properties. The core-shell structure also improved the stability of S vacancies. This work not only provides a universal method for the construction of TMD core-shell structure with vacancies, but also deepens our understanding of carrier separation in the vacancies interface for photocatalysis.
