New Photocatalytics Study Findings Have Been Reported from Qingdao University (Surface Modulation of Mos2/o-znin2s4 To Boost Photocatalytic H-2 Evolution)

2022 DEC 02 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Nanotech Daily -- Current study results on Nanotechnology - Photocatalytics have been published.

Article Description

To realize the continuous production of hydrogen energy, the efficient photocatalysts are required in the heterogeneous reaction for water splitting. Herein, we reported a surface modulation strategy, via doping oxygen atoms to tune the surface state of ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets with cocatalyst MoS 2 modification, to enhance water adsorption and surface catalytic reaction for boosting the photocatalytic activity. Consequently, MoS 2 /O-ZnIn 2 S 4 photocatalysts showed a remarkably superior photocatalytic H 2 production performance of 4.002 mmol g −1 h −1 and an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of ∼2.53%, 5.4 folds higher than ZnIn 2 S 4. Using operando infrared spectroscopy and DFT calculation, we revealed the dynamic structural evolution, as well as the active sites for water adsorption and the catalytic reaction at the MoS 2 /O-ZnIn 2 S 4 interface. This work reveals the effect of surface modulation on the photocatalytic activity for MoS 2 /O-ZnIn 2 S 4 and offers a feasible method to devise excellent nanomaterial photocatalysts for H 2 production.
