Design and synthesis of ZnCo2O4/CdS for substantially improved photocatalytic hydrogen production

A novel n–p heterojunction Bi2S3/ZnCo2O4 photocatalyst for boosting visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance toward indigo carmine

“…37 The positive shi of binding energy of O 1s for 12.0Bi 2 S 3 /ZC heterojunction compared to ZC indicates a change of the electron density, establishing an effective charge transfer between ZC and Bi 2 S 3 . This could be explained due to the interaction effect of the strong chemical bond between ZC and Bi 2 S 3 changing the outer electron cloud densities of Co. 22,25,36 Finally, from the XPS results, we can conclude the 12.0Bi 2 S 3 /ZC photocatalyst contains the elements Bi, S, O, Co, and Zn, indicating that Bi 2 S 3 was synthesized successfully and loaded on the surface of spinel phase ZnCo 2 O 4 nanoparticles.…”

Bimetals Ni–Mo–S-Modified Hollow Cubic Cu2–xS for Visible-Light Photocatalytic H2 Evolution

“…However, the narrow bandgap of Cu 2– x S easily leads to the high carrier recombination, negatively affecting the photocatalytic activity . To overcome the problem, the common methods to suppress photo-generated electron–hole recombination include ion doping, heterojunction construction, and the cocatalyst modification. − …”

Graphdiyne (CnH2n−2) coupled with ZnCo-MOF double S-scheme heterojunction forms an efficient electron transport layer and its characterizationvia in situXPS

“…26–30 In comparison to the conventional type II and type Z hierarchical junctions, the new S-scheme heterojunctions provide the powerful oxidation reduction capacity of composite materials and hold tremendous potential for photocatalysis. 31,32…”

“…[26][27][28][29][30] In comparison to the conventional type II and type Z hierarchical junctions, the new S-scheme heterojunctions provide the powerful oxidation reduction capacity of composite materials and hold tremendous potential for photocatalysis. 31,32 In this study, firstly, graphite acetylene was synthesized via an organic synthesis method, and then a GDY/CuS/ ZnCoS 2 series S-scheme heterojunction was constructed via the hydrothermal reaction. To identify the structure of graphdiyne it was characterized via FT-IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.…”
