摘要
光催化整体纯水分离是一种在温和条件下产生绿色氢能的可行方法。然而,这一过程往往受到电子-空穴分离和传输迟缓的阻碍。为解决这一问题,我们构建了一种具有 B-O 键界面的阶梯式(S-scheme)B-掺杂缺 N C3N4/O 掺杂 C3N5(BN-C3N4/O-C3N5)异质结。利用铂和 Co(OH)2 作为助催化剂,BN-C3N4/O-C3N5 S 型异质结在可见光条件下的整体纯水分离光催化活性显著增强,H2 和 O2 的进化速率分别达到 40.12 和 19.62 µmol/h。系统表征和实验揭示了增强的内置电场和界面 B-O 键的性能增强效应。首先,增强的内置电场为快速的界面电子传输提供了足够的力。其次,通过降低传输能垒和传输距离,界面 B-O 键有利于氧化还原电势相对较低的电子和空穴通过 S 型电荷转移途径快速重组,从而使高电位的电子和空穴可用于 H+ 还原和 OH- 氧化反应。总体而言,BN-C3N4/O-C3N5 S-scheme异质结的光催化效率显著提高,使其成为一种通过整体纯水分离实现绿色制氢的可行方法。
Interfacial B-O bonding modulated S-scheme B-doped N-deficient C3N4/O-doped-C3N5 for efficient photocatalytic overall water splitting
Photocatalytic overall pure water splitting is a promising method for generating green hydrogen energy under mild conditions. However, this process is often hindered by sluggish electron-hole separation and transport. To address this, a step-scheme (S-scheme) B-doped N-deficient C3N4/O-doped C3N5 (BN-C3N4/O-C3N5) heterojunction with interfacial B-O bonds has been constructed. Utilizing Pt and Co(OH)2 as co-catalysts, BN-C3N4/O-C3N5 S-scheme heterojunction demonstrates significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for overall pure water splitting under visible light, achieving H2 and O2 evolution rates of 40.12 and 19.62 µmol/h, respectively. Systematic characterizations and experiments revealed the performance-enhancing effects of the enhanced built-in electric field and the interfacial B-O bonding. Firstly, the strengthened built-in electric field provides sufficient force for rapid interfacial electron transport. Secondly, by reducing the transport energy barrier and transfer distance, the interfacial B-O bonds facilitate rapid recombination of electrons and holes with relatively low redox potential via the S-scheme charge-transfer route, leaving the high-potential electrons and holes available for H+ reduction and OH− oxidation reactions. Overall, the photocatalytic efficiency of BN-C3N4/O-C3N5 S-scheme heterojunction was significantly improved, making it a promising approach for green hydrogen production through overall pure water splitting.
