Graphdiyne (CnH2n–2) In Situ Anchored with Bimetallic Oxide MnCo2O4 Construct S-Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

“…The search for green energy to replace fossil fuels is urgent, and hydrogen is a highly valuable and pollution-free option. The technology of photocatalysis is regarded as one of the most promising approaches for hydrogen evolution, enabling the conversion of solar energy into hydrogen energy in a renewable manner. − The heart of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction technology is the selection and preparation of catalysts. Semiconductor catalyst possesses the benefits of being environmentally friendly, free from pollution, exhibiting high catalytic activity and stability, and are gradually replacing metal catalysts as the mainstream. − The ability of electron transfer largely determines the rate of hydrogen evolution. , In recent years, methods such as constructing heterojunction structures, surface-loaded catalysts, and constructing defect engineering have been commonly used to improve electron mobility. − Among them, constructing heterojunctions with multiple catalysts is undoubtedly an effective approach to enhance the rate of photogenerated electron transport.…”
