This paper demonstrates the potential of semiconducting porous single crystals (PSCs) as photocatalysts by combining structural coherence and large porosity. Using LaNbON2 PSCs as an example, the study highlights the exceptional activity of PSCs in activating otherwise almost inactive photocatalysts and achieving efficient water redox reactions and overall water splitting.
Combining structural coherence and large porosity, semiconducting porous single crystals (PSCs) warrant a great potential as photocatalysts. High photocarrier mobility can be realized in PSCs because of a deficiency in grain boundaries, which in turn greatly alleviates photocarriers' recombination. The large porosity of PSCs not only provides plenty of accessible surfaces to accommodate catalytic reaction sites but also fortifies photon-matter interplay by reflecting and scattering photons. In this work, taking LaNbON2 PSCs as an example, we demonstrate the importance of PSCs in activating otherwise almost inactive photocatalyst. Compared to conventional inert LaNbON2, LaNbON2 PSCs exhibit exceptional activity for photocat-alytic water redox reactions, delivering a high apparent quantum efficiency, i.e. 6.3% and 10.2% at 420 +/- 20 nm for H-2- and O-2-evolution reactions, respectively. A Z-scheme system containing LaNbON2 PSCs has succeeded in overall water splitting (H-2/O-2 molar ratio 2:1) with high stability under visible light illumination (k >= 420 nm). (C) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
