External field induced piezo-photocatalytic hydrogen evolution for BiFeO3@CdS heterojunction
In this work, we synthesized S-type BiFeO3@CdS heterojunction piezo-photocatalysts through an innovative core-shell structure design. Their efficient hydrogen evolution performances were systematically investigated under the synergistic effect of ultrasound and visible light irradiation. The core-shell-structured BiFeO3@CdS-1 exhibits a remarkable piezo-photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 1704 μmol g−1 within 4 h, which is 4.19 and 8.52 times higher than those achieved under sole light irradiation and piezoelectric conditions, respectively. Comprehensive characterizations (XPS, SPV, and electrochemical analyses etc) confirm the formation of efficient charge transfer channels at the heterojunction interface, thereby promoting the spatial separation of electron-hole pairs. By combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we demonstrate that the piezoelectricity-induced built-in electric field and the interfacial electric field of the heterojunction significantly reduces the energy barrier for the hydrogen evolution reaction and enhanced carrier separation efficiency. This work presents a novel strategy for designing highly efficient and stable hydrogen evolution catalysts through the integration of interface engineering and piezo-photocatalysis.
