In this study, a simple method of incorporating covalent triazine frameworks with ultrathin black phosphorus nanosheets resulted in one of the highest hydrogen evolution activities among metal-free photocatalysts. The interfacial P-C bonding between BP and CTFs was found to be crucial for promoting photocatalytic activity and stability, with enhanced electron transfer from CTF to BP surfaces under light irradiation. Additionally, the electron enrichments on BP effectively restrained surface oxidation, leading to improved photocatalytic stability of BP/CTF. This work not only provided an effective way to fabricate highly efficient metal-free photocatalysts, but also offered unique insights into the fundamentals of photocatalytic reactions.
Herein, we employed a simple approach for incorporating covalent triazine frameworks (CTF) with ultrathin black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets, resulting in one of the highest hydrogen evolution activities (17.1 mmol h(-1) g(-1)) among all reported metal-free photocatalysts. More importantly, a detailed mechanistic study on dynamic charge transfer and interfacial bonding was conducted by an in-situ irradiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SI-XPS). The related results clearly reveal that the interfacial P-C bonding between ultrathin BP and CTFs is crucial for promoting both photocatalytic activity and stability. More specifically, under light irradiation, the interfacial P-C bonds were remarkably enhanced, which efficiently accelerate the photo-generated electron transfer from CTF to BP surfaces for hydrogen evolution reactions. Moreover, owing to the electron enrichments on BP for effectively restraining surface oxidation, the photocatalytic stability of BP/CTF has also been significantly improved. This work not only reported an effective way for fabricating highly efficient metal-free photocatalysts, but also provided the unique insights into the fundamental understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms during photocatalytic reactions.
