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.

Mn(IV)氧化物/Mn(IV)硫化物/聚2-氨基-1-巯基苯在污水光电催化制氢中的应用

通过聚合反应(氧化)制备了Mn(IV)氧化物/Mn(IV)硫化物/聚2-氨基-1-巯基苯(mno2 - mns2 /P2AMB)纳米复合材料，并将其作为污水绿色制氢的高光电催化材料。mno2 -MnS 2 /P2AMB纳米复合材料具有优异的光学性能，其带隙为1.81 eV。为了促进合成的mno2 - mns2 /P2AMB纳米复合光电极的水裂解反应，通过评价电流(J ph)，利用污水作为牺牲剂，有效促进氢气的生成。在−0.9 V时，J ph和J o值分别为−0.33和−0.2 mA。相应的，Cm -2。值得注意的是，最佳J ph值为−0.26 mA。在340 nm处观察到入射光子的cm−2，表明更高频率和能量的光导致mno2 -MnS 2 /P2AMB纳米复合材料产生更多的电子和随后的氢气生成。相反，J ph值最低为−0.21 mA。在730 nm处得到cm−2，表明红外波对光电极的影响是由于材料的小带隙(1.86 eV)，如前面的分析所计算的那样。这项研究代表了将废水转化为氢气的第一步，氢气可以作为各种工业应用的可持续燃料来源。
