Abstract
In this study, ZnIn2S4 with oxygen vacancies was fabricated using NaBH4-assisted hydrothermal method to enhance the photocatalytic activities. The generated ZIS and ZISVo-x samples exhibited microspherical nanosheet structure and it is proven that NaBH4 could enhance the amount of oxygen vacancies in ZnIn2S4 as confirmed by XPS analysis. Upon solar light irradiation, ZISVo-5 sample performed a fast photodegradation of tetracycline (TC) within 10 min and simultaneously exhibited a hydrogen evolution amount of ∼ 12 mmol (AQE = 6.07 at 420 nm), which is 2.75 times higher than that of pristine ZnIn2S4 (4.4 mmol). The degraded products of TC were further identified using LC-MS. The excellent photocatalytic HER performance was attributed to the optimum amount of oxygen vacancies in ZISVo-5 sample and the reactive oxygen species of •OH, O2•-, and 1O2 as confirmed by ESR analysis under light irradiation played a vital role for the rapid degradation of TC by ZISVo-5.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
