Ultrathin ZnIn2S4/ZnSe heteronanosheets with modulated S-scheme enable high efficiency of visible-light-responsive photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Construction of core–shell CoSe2/ZnIn2S4 heterostructures for efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…It has been reported that metal selenides could accelerate the charge transfer of the hydrogen evolution reaction due to their lower electrical resistance, indicating that metal selenides are promising catalysts. 6,26,27 Recently, it was reported that metal selenides ZnSe, 28 SnSe 2 , 29 NiSe 2 , 16 and MoSe 2 30 were used to form composites with ZnIn 2 S 4 to promote charge migration, thus improving the activity of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The inherent properties of CoSe 2 endowed it with high electronic conductivity and proton adsorption ability, while its low cost and stable chemical properties made it a potential substitute for noble metals.…”

Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution based on a Z-scheme 2D LaVO4/2D Mo-doped SV-ZnIn2S4 heterojunction

“…In recent years, the ternary metal sulfide ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZIS) has attracted much attention due to its suitable bandgap and controllable morphology. 14 However, single-component ZIS still has the disadvantages of limited light absorption and slow charge transfer. 15 On the other hand, lanthanum vanadate (LaVO 4 ) as a new visible light responsive photocatalyst has the advantages of visible light absorption, non-toxicity, and morphology control.…”

Enhancing the internal electric field via twinning for boosting photocatalytic plastic reformation and H2 production

“…Currently, several compounds with shallow valence bands, such as (oxy) nitrides, 20 (oxy) sulfides 21,22 and selenides, 23 have been widely used in the field of photocatalysis due to their broad absorption range. ZnSe is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly semiconductor material, which is used in the field of photocatalysis due to its suitable band gap, exposed active sites and excellent photocatalytic activity.…”
