Pt4Pd–MgF2/2d-CdS: Dual-site enhanced photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen evolution
Cadmium sulfide (CdS), as visible-light driven photocatalysts for water splitting to produce hydrogen, has been extensively investigated. However, its practical application is hindered by the rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers. To address this limitation, Pt4Pd/MgF2/CdS was developed in this study. The structure of the synthesized 1.5 %-Pt4Pd/MgF2/CdS was characterized by XRD, HRTEM, and XPS, the results showed that both MgF2 and Pt4Pd uniformly distributed on the surface of 2D-CdS. Then, the photocatalytic performance of Pt4Pd/MgF2/CdS was tested, and the results demonstrated that 1.5 %-Pt4Pd/MgF2/CdS exhibits high activity and stability, with a hydrogen production rate of 75 mmol/h/g. Based on measurements results (UV–Vis/PL/ESR/work function), we propose that the increase of photocatalytic efficiency atributed to: 1) MgF2 inhibits the photocorrosion of CdS without affecting light absorption; 2) the abundant Lewis acid sites on the MgF2 surface facilitate the transfer of conduction band electrons from 2D-CdS; 3) the loading of Pt4Pd alloy onto the CdS surface forms a Schottky barrier, which promotes the separation of photogenerated charge carriers.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
