Optimizing Electron Configuration of Cobalt-Based Cocatalysts Supported by Carbon Nitride Nanosheets to Achieve Enhanced Photocatalytic Water Oxidation
Cobalt-based materials are promising cocatalysts applied to polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) photocatalysts to achieve water oxidation due to their cost-effectiveness and comparable activity to Ru and Ir-based metal oxides. In this study, by optimizing the electron configuration of cobalt-based materials, a novel oxygen evolution cocatalyst, cobalt disulfide (CoS2), was developed to hybridize with PCN. A series of experimental and theoretical studies reveal that loading CoS2 on PCN contributes to improving photoinduced charge carrier transportation and reducing activation energy of the oxygen evolution reaction, thus achieving a significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance than the pure PCN. Furthermore, due to the more satisfactory electronic configuration of CoS2, the photocatalytic oxygen evolution rate of CoS2/CNNS hybrid is even more than 1 time higher than that of Co3O4/CNNS hybrid.
