The type-II n-n inorganic/organic nano-heterojunction of Ti3+ self-doped TiO2 nanorods and conjugated co-polymers for photoelectrochemical water splitting and photocatalytic dye degradation

Nani Gopal Ghosh et al.

Summary: This article reports the synthesis of two organic semiconductors coupled with Ti3+ self-doped TiO2 nanorods to create type-II n-n inorganic/organic nano-heterostructures. These nano-heterostructures not only enhance visible-light absorption but also improve the delocalization and transportation of photogenerated carriers due to advantageous band alignments. The organic semiconductors exhibit better photoelectrochemical performances than Ti3+/TiO2 NRs, with TP1 NHs showing the highest photocatalytic efficiency.

Mixed-dimensional 1D CdS/2D MoSe2 heterostructures for high-performance photocatalytic hydrogen production

Chao Ding et al.

Summary: Rationally designing heterojunction photocatalysts with well-defined nanostructures and intimate interfacial contact significantly improves the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. The 1D CdS/2D MoSe2 heterostructure exhibited an enhanced hydrogen-evolving rate of 25.8 mmol g(-1) h(-1) with an apparent quantum efficiency of 30% at 420 nm, attributed to the synergistic effect between the CdS nanorods and MoSe2 nanosheets in accelerating electron-hole separation and interfacial charge transport. This study suggests that morphology control and interfacial engineering can effectively tune the efficiency and long-term stability of heterojunction photocatalysts for hydrogen production, providing insights for robust high-performance visible light photocatalysts.
