Highly available and active photocatalysts and cocatalysts play key roles in the of efficient and stable visible light-driven photocatalytic systems. In this work, a nickel phosphide (Ni2P)/red phosphorus (RP) heterojunction composite was fabricated for the first time by an in situ hydrothermal method using nanosized RP and nickel chloride as the starting materials. The results indicated that the heterojunction exhibits a two-dimensional (2D) nanostructure with a good contact interface and stability. The surface edges of pure RP are the active sites during the photocatalytic reaction. The introduction of Ni2P could improve the light-harvetsing ability of RP and facilitate charge separation, leading to an enhanced photocurrent intensity and excellent photocatalytic performance for H-2 evolution. The H-2 production rate of the 3% Ni2P/RP sample was 2183 mu mol.g(-1).h(-1) under visible light irradiation, which was higher than that of Pt/RP, indicating that Ni2P could be used as an efficient noble metal-free cocatalyst. In addition, a possible mechanism for H-2 production was proposed for Ni2P/RP composite. Further work should be conducted in the exploration of P-based transition metal cocatalysts and RP-based photocatalysts.
