Semiconductor photocatalysis is effective for solving energy demand and environmental pollution issues. ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts have attracted attention due to their suitable energy band structure and good visible light responsiveness. In this study, ZnIn2S4 catalysts were modified by metal ion doping, heterojunction construction, and co-catalyst loading. The resulting composite photocatalyst exhibited enhanced absorption and hydrogen production efficiency. The addition of MoP as a co-catalyst further improved the hydrogen production performance and cycle stability of the catalyst.
Semiconductor photocatalysis is an effective strategy for solving the problems of increasing energy demand and environmental pollution. ZnIn2S4-based semiconductor photocatalyst materials have attracted much attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their suitable energy band structure, stable chemical properties, and good visible light responsiveness. In this study, ZnIn2S4 catalysts were modified by metal ion doping, the construction of heterojunctions, and co-catalyst loading to successfully prepare composite photocatalysts. The Co-ZnIn2S4 catalyst synthesized by Co doping and ultrasonic exfoliation exhibited a broader absorption band edge. Next, an a-TiO2/Co-ZnIn2S4 composite photocatalyst was successfully prepared by coating partly amorphous TiO2 on the surface of Co-ZnIn2S4, and the effect of varying the TiO2 loading time on photocatalytic performance was investigated. Finally, MoP was loaded as a co-catalyst to increase the hydrogen production efficiency and reaction activity of the catalyst. The absorption edge of MoP/a-TiO2/Co-ZnIn2S4 was widened from 480 nm to about 518 nm, and the specific surface area increased from 41.29 m(2)/g to 53.25 m(2)/g. The hydrogen production performance of this composite catalyst was investigated using a simulated light photocatalytic hydrogen production test system, and the rate of hydrogen production by MoP/a-TiO2/Co-ZnIn2S4 was found to be 2.96 mmol center dot h(-1 center dot)g(-1), which was three times that of the pure ZnIn2S4 (0.98 mmol center dot h(-1 center dot)g(-1)). After use in three cycles, the hydrogen production only decreased by 5%, indicating that it has good cycle stability.
