Abstract
CdS photocatalysts are promising for hydrogen production via water splitting but suffer from photocorrosion. In this study, 1T - 2H mixed - phase MoS2 nanosheets were anchored on hollow CdS (H-CdS) as cocatalysts. The MoS2 coating reduces direct contact between CdS and the solution, retarding corrosion. Additionally, its abundant active sites indirectly mitigate photocorrosion. The H-CdS/MoS2-3 sample exhibited a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of 1520.82 μmol g−1 h−1, about 3 times that of H-CdS (567.51 μmol g−1 h−1), showing excellent photocatalytic performance. This improvement is due to 1T - phase MoS2 acting as an electron-transfer bridge, accelerating electron migration. A 6h cyclic hydrogen evolution test confirmed that the H-CdS/MoS2-3 nanocomposite had a cyclic efficiency of 95 %, demonstrating good stability.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
