A novel flower-like ternary Ni/NiS/Zn0.2Cd0.8S composite catalyst with twin crystals and heterojunction structure was successfully synthesized, exhibiting enhanced visible light absorption, photoelectric performance, and hydrogen production. The possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism involves the formation of a heterojunction between Zn0.2Cd0.8S and NiS.
The applications of sulfide in photocatalytic hydrogen production are limited due to the rapid recombination of the electron-hole pairs. In this paper, a kind of novel flower-like ternary Ni/NiS/Zn0.2Cd0.8S composite catalyst with twin crystals and heterojunction structure is synthesized by a multi-step method. Compared with pure Zn0.2Cd0.8S, the ternary Ni/NiS/Zn0.2Cd0.8S catalyst shows significantly a highly visible light absorption, photoelectric performance and hydrogen production, i.e., both transient photocurrent and hydrogen production rate are increased by 18 times and 83 times, respectively. Combining the theoretical calculations and experimental results, a possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism is proposed. In this catalyst, it is known that the twin crystal Zn0.2Cd0.8S belongs to the homojunction structure, Zn0.2Cd0.8S combines with NiS to form a heterojunction and simultaneously supports the excellent conductivity of Ni, Which therefore, the synergy of the nano scaled NiS and Ni co-catalysts show a great improvement in separation efficiency of the photo-generated electron-hole pairs, and allows the Ni/NiS/Zn0.2Cd0.8S catalyst to have excellent hydrogen production performance in photocatalytic decomposition of water.
