Ternary copper iron sulphide (Cu5FeS4) was successfully synthesized and incorporated with rGO, N/rGO, and B/rGO, leading to significant changes in the photocatalytic and electrocatalytic properties of CFS. The results indicate enhanced activity and increased number of exposed active sites when doped with rGO and N/rGO.
Chemical doping of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) oxide has been a major trend as pho-tocatalyst and electrocatalyst owing to large number of active sites they bring in. In the present work ternary copper iron sulphide (Cu5FeS4) has been successfully synthesized using hydrothermal method and incorporated with rGO, N/rGO and B/rGO. The structural, morphological and compositional changes were analyzed using XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM and EDAX results respectively. The bandgap of the materials was confirmed using UV-DRS results. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the samples revealed the reduction of recombination with the presence of rGO and doped rGO. The photocatalytic studies of the composites were carried out using methylene blue(MB) as a model pollutant where CFS-N/ rGO shows the highest degradation rate of 70%.The electrocatalytic tests were conducted in order to study the performance of the composites as catalyst for HER where CFS-N/rGO showed an enhanced activity with higher current density and lower Tafel slope.The higher Cdl value of CFS-N/rGO indicates the increased number of exposed active sites when doped with N/rGO. The results indicate a considerable amount of change in the photo -catalytic and electrocatalytic properties of CFS when doped with rGO, B/rGO and N/rGO. (C) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
