“…[127] In addition, Tang's group reported that porous Ni 5 P 4 material also has a good catalytic performance. [128] Moreover, the TMPs are often catalytically active in the OER, providing much more opportunities to achieve overall water splitting by single bifunctional electrocatalyst. However, unsatisfactory electrocatalytic performance in alkali limits their application in alkaline water electrolysis.…”

wards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) are summarized. This Review also highlights the key role of CeO 2 and the structural design strategies in the hybrid electrocatalysts, including ion doping, interface and defect engineering, electronic structure optimization, and morphology control for catalytic output enhancement. Lastly, some scientific challenges and perspectives have been proposed, aiming to promote the development of other CeO 2-based hybrids for energy related electrocatalysis.

“…Among these methods, cocatalyst loading can not only extract the photogenerated electrons to suppress the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, but also provide more active sites to fasten the interfacial H + reduction. [ 20–22 ] Moreover, an appropriate H 2 ‐evolution cocatalyst, even in a tiny amount, could easily make the host photocatalyst reach an excellent H 2 ‐evolution rate. [ 23–25 ] In this case, the widely reported H 2 ‐evolution cocatalyst is the noble metals (such as Pt, Au, Rh, and Pd), which can work effectively as a sink to trap the photoinduced electrons and provide a near‐zero overpotential for the surface H 2 evolution.…”

Introducing W into MoS2 to fabricate Mo x W1−x S2 is a promising strategy to optimize the active‐site density and electrical conductivity of MoS2 to further improve its H2‐evolution efficiency. However, limited attention has been paid to developing facile and effective methods to prepare a Mo x W1−x S2 H2‐evolution cocatalyst, especially the few‐layered Mo x W1−x S2, to boost the photocatalytic H2‐evolution activity of host photocatalyst materials. Herein, a well‐designed Mo x W1−x S2 cocatalyst with a few‐layered structure of 5–7 layers and an interlayer spacing of 0.65 nm is in‐situ grown on the CdS surface via a simple one‐step solvothermal method with (NH4)2MoS4 and (NH4)2WS4 as the dual‐functional precursors. In this case, the above dual‐functional precursors can not only transform into the few‐layered Mo x W1−x S2 cocatalyst but also provide abundant S2− ions for the formation of the CdS host photocatalyst. The photocatalytic H2‐evolution results declare that the Mo0.5W0.5S2/CdS photocatalyst acquires the highest H2‐evolution rate of 2968.1 μmol h−1 g−1, which is higher than that of MoS2/CdS by a factor of 3.5. The remarkably promoted H2‐evolution activity of the few‐layered Mo x W1−x S2/CdS is mainly ascribed to the speedy electron transport and efficient H2‐evolution reaction via the Mo x W1−x S2 cocatalyst on CdS surface by W‐introduction.

“…The pristine TCN poses a PL emission peak at 470 nm, and the CoO/TCN/Au sample shows the lowest PL emission band, suggesting that the recombination of photoinduced carriers could have declinced enormously in the CoO/TCN/Au hybrid. [ 47–49 ] These results imply that the separation efficiency of the photogenerated charges of TCN nanotubes could be ameliorated via the use of CoO and Au nanoparticles, which also explains the photocatalytic activity improvement of the CoO/TCN/Au hybrid.…”

Exploiting active photocatalysts with broad spectrum light response is a priority target in the field of photocatalysis. Herein, integrating Au and CoO nanoparticles with g‐C3N4 hollow nanotubes, a promising ternary photocatalyst with wide‐light spectrum response (420–650 nm) is designed, in which Au nanoparticles play the dual role of plasmonic electron donor and reduction cocatalyst, while CoO nanoparticles act as oxidation cocatalyst. The optimum H2 evolution rates of the ternary hybrid reach 238.7 and 4.9 μmol under the irradiation of visible light and monochromic light of 650 nm, respectively. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) can promote charge‐carrier generation in the g‐C3N4, and the appropriate band alignment between the Au and g‐C3N4 is favorable for hot electron transfer from Au to g‐C3N4, which makes this ternary hybrid possess extra hot electrons for water reduction reaction under a wider solar spectrum. Furthermore, Au as a reduction cocatalyst and CoO as an oxidation cocatalyst can effectively impel the charge separation and restrain charge recombination, which is also responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic activity. This work affords a credible strategy for the rational construction of plasmon‐assisted photocatalysts for the wider‐spectrum appliance of solar energy.
