Tuning Cu dopant of Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S nanocrystals enables high-performance photocatalytic H 2 evolution from water splitting under visible-light irradiation

Journal Article Mei, Zongwei ; Zhang, Bingkai ; Zheng, Jiaxin ; ... - Nano Energy

Cu-doping into Zn1-xCdxS can greatly enhance the photocatalytic H2 evolution from water splitting under visible-light irradiation. However, it is still controversial for how the Cu-dopant improves this performance. Here, we report that appropriate Cu-doped Zn0.5Cd0.5S nanocrystals reach 21.4 mmol/h/g of H2 evolution rate without cocatalyst in the visible-light region, which is also 2.8 times as high as that of the undoped counterpart, and the corresponding apparent quantum efficiency is 18.8% at 428 nm. It is firstly confirmed that the Cu2+ changes into Cu+ after being doped by soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (sXAS). We theoretically propose that the transformation of 2Cu2+more »« less

Photocatalytic splitting of water under visible-light irradiation over the NiOx-loaded Sm{sub 2}InTaO{sub 7} with 4f-d{sup 10}-d{sup 0} configuration

Journal Article Tang Xinde, E-mail: txd738011@yahoo.c ; Hongqi, Ye ; Hui, Liu ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

A new visible-light-response photocatalyst Sm{sub 2}InTaO{sub 7} with 4f-d{sup 10}-d{sup 0} configuration crystallized in a cubic system with the space group Fd3m was synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. NiOx-loaded Sm{sub 2}InTaO{sub 7} showed high photocatalytic activities for H{sub 2} evolution from pure water under visible light irradiation (lambda>400 nm). Changes in the photocatalytic activity with the calcination temperature of Sm{sub 2}InTaO{sub 7} and the amount of NiOx loaded indicated that the combination of highly crystallized Sm{sub 2}InTaO{sub 7} and a high dispersion of NiOx particles led to high photocatalytic activity. The high photocatalytic performance of NiOx-loaded Sm{sub 2}InTaO{sub 7}more »« less

Research Update: Photoelectrochemical water splitting and photocatalytic hydrogen production using ferrites (MFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}) under visible light irradiation

Journal Article Dillert, Ralf ; Laboratorium für Nano- und Quantenengineering, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover, Schneiderberg 39, 30167 Hannover ; Taffa, Dereje H. ; ... - APL Materials

The utilization of solar light for the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic production of molecular hydrogen from water is a scientific and technical challenge. Semiconductors with suitable properties to promote solar-driven water splitting are a desideratum. A hitherto rarely investigated group of semiconductors are ferrites with the empirical formula MFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} and related compounds. This contribution summarizes the published results of the experimental investigations on the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic properties of these compounds. It will be shown that the potential of this group of compounds in regard to the production of solar hydrogen has not been fully explored yet.

Efficient photocatalytic H2 production via rational design of synergistic spatially-separated dual cocatalysts modified Mn0.5Cd0.5S photocatalyst under visible light irradiation

Journal Article Liu, Xiaolei ; Liu, Qi ; Wang, Peng ; ... - Chemical Engineering Journal

Noble metal-free highly efficient cocatalysts are very important for cost efficient hydrogen fuel production. While most studies concentrate on single cocatalyst photocatalytic systems. Here, we report on the synthesis of Mn0.5Cd0.5S photocatalyst hetero-architecture with synergistic spatially separated dual cocatalysts Cu2-xS and MoS2 for highly efficient photocatalytic H-2 production. Through tactfully utilizing Cu2-xS/Mn0.5Cd0.5S nanoscale p-n junction to promote efficient transfer of photo-generated holes to Cu2-xS and MoS2 can be located exactly on the different positions where the photo-generated electrons must go through by photo-reduction of (NH4)(2)MoS4. Cu2-xS can be an oxidation active site to assemble photo-generated holes and MoS2 can capturemore »« less
