Herein, three D-A type CPs, namely TPD-T, TPD-MOT and TPD-DOT, were designed and synthesized using thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) as A units and thiophene with different alkyl/alkoxy groups side chain (as 3-octylthiophene (T), 3-methoxythiophene (MOT) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (DOT)) as D units, via an atom- and step-economic CH/CH cross-coupling polycondensation. The photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of these polymers driven by visible light was systematically evaluated in pure water and natural seawater. The results show that the hydrogen evolution rates (HERs) of the as-synthesized CPs in pure water and natural seawater significantly increased by 5 and 7 times, respectively, when the number of alkoxy groups on the side chain of polymers increased from 0 to 2. In particular, HERs of three polymers in natural seawater are distinctly better than that in pure water.

S-scheme heterojunctions demonstrate the capability to effectively separate photogenerated electrons and holes while possessing strong oxidation and reduction abilities, rendering them potential catalysts for photocatalytic H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> synthesis. However, designing S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with band alignment and close contact remains challenging. Here we report Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S/CeO<sub>2</sub> multiphase nanofibrous prepared via an in situ sulphuration/de-sulphuration strategy. This in situ process enables intimate contact between the two phases, thereby shortening the charge transfer distance and promoting charge separation. The interfacial electronic interaction and charge separation were investigated using in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The work function difference enables Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S to donate electrons to CeO<sub>2</sub> upon combination, resulting in the formation of an internal electric field (IEF) at interfaces. This IEF, along with bent energy bands, facilitates the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers via an S-scheme pathway across the Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S/CeO<sub>2</sub> interfaces. The Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S as the reduction photocatalyst exhibits significant O<sub>2</sub> adsorption and activation along with a low energy barrier for the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production. The optimal Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S/CeO<sub>2</sub> nanofibers heterojunction demonstrate enhanced photocatalytic H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production of 2.91 mmol g<sup>-1</sup>h<sup>-1</sup>, 58 times higher than that of pristine CeO<sub>2</sub> nanofibers. This investigation provides valuable insights for the rational design and preparation of intimate contact nanofibrous heterojunctions with efficient solar H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> synthesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":351,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"682 ","pages":"381-391"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142779163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
