Construction of sandwich structured photocatalyst using monolayer WS2 embedded g-C3N4 for highly efficient H2 production

Synthesis of WO3@WS2 core–shell nanostructures via solution-based sulfurization for improved performance of water splitting

“…The ne spectrum of S 2p in the sulfurized WO 3 showed two different peaks at 162.21 eV and 163.28 eV, which are attributed to the S 2p 3/2 and S 2p 1/2 , respectively, of S-W in WS 2 . 22,30 Combining the aforementioned results, we could acknowledge the successful synthesis of WO 3 / WS 2 core-shell structure.…”

Recent progress on the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction over a metal sulfide cocatalyst-mediated carbon nitride system

“…g-C 3 N 4 /WS 2 was formed by sandwiching a layer of WS 2 between two layers of g-C 3 N 4 . Lin and his group 135 used it to evaluate the performance of monolayer WS 2 in the material. In g-C 3 N 4 /WS 2 , the single-layer WS 2 performed better in reducing the photo-generated carriers recombination speed and the overpotential of hydrogen production.…”

Reuse of Acid‐treated Waste Corn Straw for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

“…Lin et al. proposed a synthesis strategy to make a monolayer of WS 2 embedded in a g‐C 3 N 4 photocatalyst using high temperature calcination, and this significantly improved the catalytic activity of g‐C 3 N 4 [12] . Since the first discovery of the response of TiO 2 electrodes to ultraviolet light in 1972, an increasing amount of research on photocatalysts has been reported [13–14] .…”
