Methylthio-functionalized UiO-66 to promote the electron–hole separation of ZnIn₂S₄for boosting hydrogen evolution under visible light illumination

Abstract

Solar-driven water splitting offers a leading-edge approach to storing abundant and intermittent solar energy and producing hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy carrier. More importantly, building well-designed photocatalysts is...

A direct Z-scheme NiCo2O4/ZnIn2S4 heterojunction for highly efficient visible-light-driven H2 evolution

“…17 Unfortunately, ZnIn 2 S 4 also suffers from the quick recombination of charge carriers and photocorrosion, resulting in non-durable activity. 18–20 A variety of strategies have been employed to solve the above problems, such as morphology control, 21,22 element doping, 23,24 construction of heterojunctions, 25,26 etc . Gao et al prepared a NiWO 4 /ZnIn 2 S 4 p–n heterojunction using a physical solvent evaporation method with a H 2 production rate of 30.51 mmol g −1 h −1 , which is 4.42 times that of pure ZnIn 2 S 4 .…”
