2D/2D g-C3N4/ZnxCd1-xS Van der Waals heterojunctions modulation: Interfacial chemical bond accelerating charge separation for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Chen Guan et al.

Summary: The fabrication of Van der Waals (VDW) heterojunctions between 2D materials has attracted researchers' interest due to their compact interfaces, low energy barriers, and efficient electron mobility. However, weak VDW interactions and a VDW gap hinder carrier migration across layers. This study developed a novel ZnxCd1-xS/g-C3N4 catalyst, which regulates VDW heterojunctions through interface engineering. The constructed Cd-N bonds at the interface serve as an electron transport bridge, enabling efficient migration of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. As a result, Zn0.8Cd0.2S/g-C3N4 exhibits enhanced CO2 reduction performance, surpassing pure g-C3N4 without co-catalysts or sacrificial agents. This work provides insights into regulating Van der Waals heterojunctions and offers an efficient photocatalyst for green energy conversion.

Going offshore or not: Where to generate hydrogen in future integrated energy systems?

Juan Gea-Bermudez et al.

Summary: Offshore hydrogen generation may have a limited role in the future energy system, and sending offshore wind energy to shore as electricity has higher value. Forcing all hydrogen generation offshore would increase energy system costs. The economic value of future offshore hydrogen generation should not only be derived from minimizing costs, but also from the perspective of the whole integrated energy system.

CdS Nanorods and ZnCd-PBA Construct a Direct S-Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Xin Guo et al.

Summary: The design of an S-scheme heterojunction can promote the transfer of photogenerated electrons, which is an effective method to improve the activity of photocatalytic hydrogen production. In this study, CdS/ZnCd-PBA composite catalysts were prepared using a simple physical method, and a CdS/ZnCd-PBA S-scheme heterojunction was designed. The close contact between the interface of the two catalysts is conducive to the rapid transfer of photogenerated carriers, providing a new path for electron transfer. The hydrogen production of a CdS/ZnCd-PBA catalyst with a ZnCd-PBA content of about 15% was 962 μmol under simulated light for 5 h, which was 13 and 916 times higher than those of CdS and ZnCd-PBA, respectively. At the same time, CdS/ZnCd-PBA-15 composites also showed good long-term stability. It shows that the construction of the S-scheme heterojunction promotes the separation of electron-hole pairs, which can effectively improve hydrogen production activity.
