0D CoP cocatalyst/ 2D g‐C3N4 nanosheets: An efficient photocatalyst for promoting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…The original CoP exhibited peaks mainly located at 2θ = 31.7°, 36.4°, 46.3°, and 48.2°, corresponding to the crystal surface of standard JCPDS No. 29‐497 (011), (111), (112) and (211), indicating that the crystal structure of g‐C 3 N 4 did not change during the preparation process . Figure B shows two distinct diffraction peaks at 27.4° and 13.1°.…”

According to JCPDS 85-1562, the plane of g-C 3 N 4 materials can be divided into (1 0 0) and (0 0 2) diffraction planes.…”

An Efficient and Stable MoS2/Zn0.5Cd0.5S Nanocatalyst for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

“…Further increasing the MoS 2 content results in ad ecrease of HER rate to 11.15 mmol h À1 g À1 for 10 wt % MoS 2 /Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S. The decrease in activity is due to excess MoS 2 hindering the light absorption of Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 Sa nd hence decreasingt he number of photogenerated chargec arriers. [48] As ar esult, an appropriate amount of MoS 2 is vital foro ptimization of the photocatalytic activity of MoS 2 /Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 Sh eterojunctions.…”

Editorial: Carbon Catalysis: Focus on Sustainable Chemical Technology

“…To solve the energy crisis and environmental pollution, photocatalysts have been playing a key role to reduce toxic contaminants and produce solar H 2 (Hisatomi et al, 2014;Dai et al, 2017). However, challenges for photocatalysts reside at the limited light absorption, high charge recombination and low quantum yields (Sudhaik et al, 2018).…”
