Fabrication of hierarchical ZnIn2S4@CNO nanosheets for photocatalytic hydrogen production and CO2 photoreduction

ZnIn2S4‐Based Photocatalysts for Energy and Environmental Applications

“…In view of this, various of modification strategies for ZnIn 2 S 4 photocatalyst have been applied to enhance its performance for CO 2 reduction, including morphology engineering by fab rication oneunitcell ZnIn 2 S 4 layers, [30] doping engineering by introducing oxygen heteroatom, [94] vacancy engineering by preparing Zn vacanciesrich ZnIn2S 4 , [30,70] and heterojunction engineering by constructing a variety of ZnIn 2 S 4 based het erojunctions. [31,70,143,165,182,221,303,330,401,402] As an typical example, to pursue the high activity of CO 2 reduction and simultane ously elucidate the promotion mechanism, in 2017, Xie et al [30] rationally designed and fabricated the Zn vacanciesrich and atomiclayerthick ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets. The asfabricated ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets showed an extraordinarily enhanced photocatalytic CO 2 reduction activity with a CO evolution rate of about 33 µmol h −1 g −1 , which was almost 3.6fold than that of the Zn vacanciespoor ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets.…”

Oxygen-doping of ZnIn2S4 nanosheets towards boosted photocatalytic CO2 reduction

“…Up to now, some modifications to ZIS have been made to solve its practical issues such as metals doping [13,14] and combining ZIS with other semiconductor materials [15,16]. For example, Zhu et al fabricated O-doped-g-C 3 N 4 @ZnIn 2 S 4 nanocomposites with improved photocatalytic performance using a two-step thermal polymerization strategy [17]. Liu et al synthesized ZnIn 2 S 4 /N-doped graphene heterojunctions via hydrothermal method, which improved the photocatalytic activity of ZnIn 2 S 4 for CO 2 photoreduction [18].…”
