Abstract

Two-dimensional Bi2S3 is considered a better photocatalyst when combined with CdS. To deeply understand electronic structures between CdS and Bi2S3, CdS@Bi2S3 core–shell nanorods (NRs) were synthesized with a two-step hydrothermal method, and CdS@Bi2S3–MoS2 composites were obtained with MoS2 nanoparticles decorated on the surface of CdS@Bi2S3 NRs. Then, the energy band alignments in CdS@Bi2S3–MoS2 were constructed from XPS and UPS measurements, and dual z-scheme CdS@Bi2S3–MoS2 heterostructures were confirmed from charge transfer with electron spin resonance (ESR) signals of •O2 and •OH. Finally, the photocatalytic hydrogen activities were carried out with the prepared samples. The results showed that the optimized CdS@Bi2S3 core–shell NRs have a hydrogen production rate of 4.29 mmol·h–1·g–1, which is 8.4 times higher than that of the pure CdS nanorods, and the optimized CdS@Bi2S3–MoS2 heterostructure has a hydrogen production rate of 8.72 mmol·h–1·g–1, which is 17 times higher than that of the pure CdS NRs. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the dual z-scheme heterostructure and full-spectrum absorption; the former is favorable for the efficient separation of the photogenerated electron–hole pairs, and the latter is beneficial to the production of more photogenerated carriers. The studies will be helpful to understand the electronic structures of Bi2S3 and the related heterostructures.

双Z-Scheme CdS@Bi2S3 -MoS2异质结构的全光谱电子结构和光催化活性
二维Bi2S3与CdS结合后被认为是一种更好的光催化剂。为了深入了解CdS与Bi2S3之间的电子结构,采用两步水热法合成了CdS@Bi2S3核壳纳米棒(NRs),并在CdS@Bi2S3核壳纳米棒表面修饰了MoS2纳米颗粒,得到了CdS@Bi2S3 -MoS2复合材料。然后,利用XPS和UPS测量构建了CdS@Bi2S3 - mos2的能带对准,并利用•O2 -和•OH的电子自旋共振(ESR)信号进行电荷转移,确定了CdS@Bi2S3 - mos2的双z-scheme异质结构。最后,对制备的样品进行了光催化氢活性测试。结果表明,优化后的CdS@Bi2S3核壳纳米棒的产氢速率为4.29 mmol·h-1·g-1,是纯CdS纳米棒的8.4倍;优化后的CdS@Bi2S3 -MoS2异质结构的产氢速率为8.72 mmol·h-1·g-1,是纯CdS纳米棒的17倍。光催化活性的增强可归因于双z型异质结构和全光谱吸收;前者有利于光生电子-空穴对的有效分离,后者有利于产生更多的光生载流子。这些研究将有助于了解Bi2S3的电子结构和相关异质结构。
