This study unlocks the potential of In2S3 as a photocatalytic overall water splitting material through a size-dependent strategy based on the quantum confinement effect. It provides a simple strategy to expand the range of material choices for hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide production through photocatalysis.
Photocatalytic overall water splitting (OWS) for H-2 and H2O2 production without sacrificial agents is an appealing strategy to realize solar energy conversion. In order to realize photocatalytic OWS, it is necessary for materials to simultaneously satisfy thermodynamic and kinetic requirements, limiting the available selection scope of materials. Therefore, unlocking the potential of these materials that partially fulfill the requirements for photocatalytic overall water splitting would significantly expand the range of material choices. Here, taking In2S3 as an example, we successfully unlocked the OWS potential through a size-dependent strategy, which is based on quantum confinement effect. By adjusting its size to 2.25 nm, it can exhibit impressive photocatalytic OWS activity with the H-2 and H2O2 generation rate of similar to 42.17 mu mol center dot g(-1)center dot h(-1) and similar to 38.65 mu mol center dot g(-1)center dot h(-1), respectively. This work provides a simple strategy to expand the range of materials selection for H-2 and H2O2 production from photocatalytic OWS.
