Abstract
Covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging photocatalysts with porous structures and excellent light-harvesting abilities. However, their photoreactivity still needs further improvement before they can be used in practical applications. Herein, we report, for the first time, on the construction of a heterojunction consisting of core-shell structured 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and 4,4′-biphenylenediamine (BD) COF at ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) nanosheets, using a microwave-hydrothermal method. The best performing sample, TpBD COF@ZIS-10 (with a ZIS:TpBD COF mass ratio of 10:1), in the absence of a co-catalyst, achieves a visible-light-driven H2 production rate of 2304 μmol g−1 h−1 with an AQE of 5.02% at 420 nm, and exhibits excellent stability. The improved photocatalytic performance of TpBD COF@ZIS was attributed to the strong interaction at the interface and the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism, which not only stimulates efficient charge separation and migration, suppressing recombination, but also preserves the higher redox potentials of photo-generated electrons and holes.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy (formerly Applied Catalysis B: Environmental) is a journal that focuses on the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. The journal's publications cover a wide range of topics, including:
1.Catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur compounds, chlorinated and other organic compounds, and soot emitted from stationary or mobile sources.
2.Basic understanding of catalysts used in environmental pollution abatement, particularly in industrial processes.
3.All aspects of preparation, characterization, activation, deactivation, and regeneration of novel and commercially applicable environmental catalysts.
4.New catalytic routes and processes for the production of clean energy, such as hydrogen generation via catalytic fuel processing, and new catalysts and electrocatalysts for fuel cells.
5.Catalytic reactions that convert wastes into useful products.
6.Clean manufacturing techniques that replace toxic chemicals with environmentally friendly catalysts.
7.Scientific aspects of photocatalytic processes and a basic understanding of photocatalysts as applied to environmental problems.
8.New catalytic combustion technologies and catalysts.
9.New catalytic non-enzymatic transformations of biomass components.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in API Abstracts, Research Alert, Chemical Abstracts, Web of Science, Theoretical Chemical Engineering Abstracts, Engineering, Technology & Applied Sciences, and others.
