Boosting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution: Orbital redistribution of ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheets via atomic defects

Qingjie Luan et al.

Summary: Defect engineering is an efficient strategy to improve the photocatalytic activity of semiconductor photocatalysts by inducing photo-excited electrons and holes to different surfaces. In this study, a rapid heating-up hydrothermal technique was used to regulate the crystal growth of ZnIn2S4, resulting in the successful preparation of ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheets with In defect-rich interlayer and perfect surface layers. The presence of In defects separates the oxidation and reduction sites on opposite sides of the nanosheets and increases the density of states, leading to enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate.

Summary: The efficiency of solar-to-hydrogen conversion in photocatalytic water splitting relies on multiple electrons accumulation and rapid charge transport/separation. This study demonstrates the construction of 0D-2D nickel-doped and Ti3C2TX MXene-encapsulated transition metal chalcogenide quantum dot/titanium carbide MXene heterostructures. The use of atomic-level foreign metal ion doping and co-catalyst modulation enhances the efficiency of the photocatalyst by broadening the optical absorption range, extending the carrier lifetime, increasing the density of active sites, and promoting charge separation and transfer.
