Rb4Sb4S8 and Rb2Sb4S7·H2O: Solvothermal synthesis, characterization, and oxygen evolution reaction performance investigation
Two ternary sulfides Rb4Sb4S8 (1) and Rb2Sb4S7·H2O (2) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compound 1 was a zero-dimensional(0-D) clustered structure and compound 2 was a two-dimensional(2-D) layered structure. Compounds 1, 2 were studied for photoelectric properties and suggested that they had higher photocurrent densities and good reproducibility. The band gaps for compounds 1 and 2, derived from UV–visible diffuse reflectance measurements, were determined to be 2.15 and 1.98 eV, respectively. It indicated that they have semiconductor properties. Experimentally measured bandgap values are consistent with the theoretically calculated values. The electrochemical performance test results showed that compounds had good oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalytic properties. This study provided a new idea for the synthesis of new sulfides.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
