Abstract
Multiplex modification is considered as one of attractive methods to achieve highly-efficient photocatalytic water splitting into hydrogen evolution performance. Herein, MoS2/Sv-ZnIn2S4/ZnS (MS/Sv-ZIS/ZS) composites were constructed by a facile in-situ engineering technique. The sulfur vacancy, Ohmic-type contact and I-type heterojunction were systematically integrated into the composites. The unique structure could not only facilitate a directional charge transfer and accelerate the charge extraction, but also enhance the charge utilization and improve the hydrogen reduction reaction dynamics. As a result, the composites exhibited a promoted hydrogen evolution rate of 9.5 mmol g−1 h−1, which was about 3.8 times higher than that of pure ZIS. This work may extend the in-situ preparation strategy and motivate the intensive investigation of high-efficiency ZIS-based photocatalysts.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
