Abstract
The p-type semiconductor antimony selenide (Sb2Se3), with high absorption coefficient (> 105 cm–1) in the visible region, band gap of about 1.1 eV, simple binary composition with fixed orthogonal phase and low toxicity, is an excellent light absorber. So, it has been applied in photocatalytic (PEC) solar water splitting to produce hydrogen in recent years due to the excellent photoelectrochemical properties. In this work, the structure and properties of Sb2Se3 are outlined, focus on the development of Sb2Se3-based photoelectrocathodes for PEC water splitting to improve the efficiency of solar hydrogen production (STH) through morphology control, heterostructure construction, heteroatom doping and promotor modification. Then, future directions of the research for Sb2Se3-based photocathodes are discuss.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
