MOF-mediated fabrication of coralloid Ni2P@CdS for enhanced visible-light hydrogen evolution

Amorphous WP‐Modified Hierarchical ZnIn2S4 Nanoflowers with Boosting Interfacial Charge Separation for Photocatalytic H2 Evolution

“…[34,35] It is an ideal material to replace precious metals (such as Pt and Pd) in photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production. Transition metal phosphating compounds such as Ni 2 P, [36] CoP, [37] Cu 3 P, [38] MoP, [39] and FeP [40] are widely used in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. For example, coral-like Ni 2 P nanosheets as cocatalysts have been reported to enhance the visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of CdS photocatalysts.…”

“…For example, coral-like Ni 2 P nanosheets as cocatalysts have been reported to enhance the visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of CdS photocatalysts. [36] Luo et al phosphatized Co 3 O 4 quantum dots fixed on the surface of g-C 3 N 4 and prepared CoP/C 3 N 4 photocatalyst. The hydrogen yield of 0.45 wt % CoP/C 3 N 4 is 283 times higher than that of pure g-C 3 N 4 .…”

The doping of B in ZnO/CdS for enhanced visible-light H2 production

“…28 The CdS rods' main sharp diffraction peaks at 24.811, 26.511, 28.181, 36.621, 43.681, 47.841, and 51.831 are indexed to the (100), ( 002), ( 101), ( 102), ( 110), ( 103) and (112) planes of CdS (PDF#41-1049), respectively. 5,29 From Fig. 3a, the characteristic peak of the B-ZnO/CdS sample was almost the same as that of the CdS rods.…”

“…In general, the lower adsorption energy of H 2 O (E H 2 O* ) was conducive to the splitting of the absorbed H 2 O, and the catalytic performance of the catalyst was better. 26 In Fig. 8a, B-ZnO/CdS exhibited a negative E H 2 O* value of À1.22 eV, which was beneficial to the H 2 O adsorption and further dissociation.…”

In situ grown CdS on 2D Cd-based porphyrin MOFs enhances the significant separation and transfer of charge carriers with an appropriate heterojunction during photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a kind of materials in which metal nodes and organic ligands are assembled in an ordered fashion, have been widely studied because of their unique and excellent characteristics, such as structural diversity and controllability, high specific surface area, abundant active sites and interconnected channels. [14][15][16] Under illumination, the organic connectors of MOFs can collect photons and then activate the metal clusters, or the metal nodes of MOFs can be directly excited by absorbing photons. 17 In recent years, a series of relevant literature reports have confirmed that MOFs have good application prospects in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution; however, there are also many obvious problems, especially the easy recombination and unsatisfactory separation efficiency of the photogenerated charge carriers.…”
