Abstract
The Mn(IV) oxide/Mn(IV) sulfide/poly-2-amino-1-mercaptobenzene (MnO 2 -MnS 2 /P2AMB) nanocomposite is prepared through a polymerization reaction (oxidation) and is utilized as a highly photo-electrocatalytic material for green hydrogen generation from sewage water. The MnO 2 -MnS 2 /P2AMB nanocomposite demonstrates remarkable optical properties, characterized by a bandgap of 1.81 eV. To promote the water splitting reaction by the synthesized MnO 2 -MnS 2 /P2AMB nanocomposite photoelectrode, sewage water is utilized as a sacrificial agent to effectively facilitate the generation of hydrogen gas through the evaluation of the current (J ph ). At −0.9 V, the J ph and J o values are determined to be −0.33 and −0.2 mA.cm -2 , correspondingly. Notably, the optimum J ph value of −0.26 mA.cm −2 is observed for incidence photons at 340 nm, indicating that light with higher frequency and energy leads to the generation of more electrons from the MnO 2 -MnS 2 /P2AMB nanocomposite and subsequent hydrogen production. Conversely, the lowest J ph value of −0.21 mA.cm −2 is obtained at 730 nm, suggesting the influence of infrared waves on the photoelectrode due to the small bandgap (1.86 eV) of the materials, as calculated in a previous analysis. This study represents an initial step towards the conversion of wastewater into hydrogen gas, which can serve as a sustainable fuel source for various industrial applications.

期刊介绍:
The material innovations on surfaces, combined with understanding and manipulation of physics and chemistry of functional surfaces and coatings, have exploded in the past decade at an incredibly rapid pace.
Superhydrophobicity, superhydrophlicity, self-cleaning, self-healing, anti-fouling, anti-bacterial, etc., have become important fundamental topics of surface science research community driven by curiosity of physics, chemistry, and biology of interaction phenomenon at surfaces and their enormous potential in practical applications. Materials having controlled-functionality surfaces and coatings are important to the manufacturing of new products for environmental control, liquid manipulation, nanotechnological advances, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, biotechnology, and many others, and are part of the most promising technological innovations of the twenty-first century.
