Nanostructure and stoichiometry tailoring of CoS2 for high performance hydrogen evolution reaction

Yingfei Hu et al.

Summary: Efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are synthesized by synthesizing two different types of CoS2 under low sulfur and high sulfur concentration conditions. The study shows that CoS impurity phase is easily formed when the sulfur concentration is low, while at high sulfur concentration, the growth of CoS impurity phase is inhibited and leads to phase-pure CoS2. The electrochemical investigation reveals that the CoS2 (HS) electrode has a higher onset potential and a lower required overpotential compared to the CoS2 (LS) electrode.

Mechanistic insights into efficient photocatalytic H2O2 production of 2D/2D g-C3N4/In2S3 photocatalyst by tracking charge flow direction

Huabin Chen et al.

Summary: By tracking the flow direction of electrons, the significantly improved photocatalytic performance of 2D/2D g-C3N4/In2S3 heterostructures for H2O2 production in organic electron donor-free condition is revealed. The experiments confirm that in the g-C3N4/In2S3 heterostructures, photoexcited electrons move from g-C3N4 to In2S3, while holes remain in g-C3N4, effectively separating the charges. Radical trapping experiments confirm that the photoexcited electrons accumulated on the conduction band of In2S3 in g-C3N4/In2S3 heterostructures generate H2O2 through a two-step one-electron reduction reaction of O2.
