Rational design of semiconductor-based photocatalysts for advanced photocatalytic hydrogen production: the case of cadmium chalcogenides

“…Many carbon-related nano-structured materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), [181][182][183][184][185][186][187] graphene or its derivatives, 97,103,114,[188][189][190][191][192][193][194][195][196][197][198][199][200][201][202] and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) [203][204][205][206][207][208][209] are also widely used to stabilize and enhance the photoactivity of CdX semiconductors, as summarized in Table 3.…”

The roles and mechanism of cocatalysts in photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen

“…Many studies have shown that carbon-based materials can be used as an effective cocatalyst or an excellent conductor cocatalyst to enhance the activity of catalytic hydrogen production. Carbon-based materials including carbon quantum dots (CQDs) [27,[211][212][213], graphene [116,214,215] and carbon nanotube (CNT) [50,[216][217][218][219][220][221], and carbon-based material can act as cocatalysts in photocatalytic hydrogen production process, the related researches were summarized and showed in Table 7. The CQDs were extensively studied due to some superior performances include the long-term stability, tunable size and band gap and size dependent photoluminescence.…”

Transition‐Metal Chalcogenide/Graphene Ensembles for Light‐Induced Energy Applications

“…However, in photoexcited TMCs ultrafast recombination of the photogenerated electron and hole species occurs, resulting to low light‐conversion efficiency . Hence, in order to overcome this hurdle, integration of TMCs to strong electron‐accepting materials, such as carbon nanostructures, (i.e., carbon nanotubes or graphene), has been explored. In particular, the inherent novel properties of graphene, such as conductivity and ballistic charge transport, are beneficial for targeting energy applications.…”
