Uniform CdS-decorated carbon microsheets with enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible-light irradiation

Electrostatic self‐assembly of 2D‐2D CoP/ZnIn2S4 nanosheets for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…In contrast to ZIS, CZ4 has a smaller arc radius, indicating its smaller charge-migrating resistance ( Figure 5C), which assurances an elevated electron/hole separation efficiency and faster interfacial charge delivery to impede the recombination rate of charge carriers. 39 Furthermore, the obvious photocurrent enhancement ( Figure 5D) for CZ4 suggests an improved charge separation, which is consistent with the result revealed from the EIS. Collectively, it is no doubt that the elevated visible light absorption and the enhanced charge separation efficiency would contribute to the boosted hydrogen production performance of the 2D-2D CoP/ZIS nanohybrid.…”

“…To further evaluate the charge‐transfer properties of CoP/ZIS nanohybrids, transient generation of photocurrent and EIS measurements were carried out. In contrast to ZIS, CZ4 has a smaller arc radius, indicating its smaller charge‐migrating resistance (Figure 5C), which assurances an elevated electron/hole separation efficiency and faster interfacial charge delivery to impede the recombination rate of charge carriers 39 . Furthermore, the obvious photocurrent enhancement (Figure 5D) for CZ4 suggests an improved charge separation, which is consistent with the result revealed from the EIS.…”

p–n Heterojunction Photocatalyst Mn0.5Cd0.5S/CuCo2S4 for Highly Efficient Visible Light-Driven H2 Production

“…So far, a large number of semiconductor materials, including oxides, sulfides, and nitrogen oxides, have been used for photocatalytic hydrogen production from water reduction. 5 , 6 Among these, metal sulfides, such as Mn x Cd 1– x S, have shown promising hydrogen production performances because of wide solar response and suitable band edge positions. 7 However, the H 2 evolution rate of Mn x Cd 1– x S is still unsatisfied because of the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs.…”

“…It can also promote the energy revolution, achieve sustainable development, and has a great role in promoting the construction of a low-carbon society. So far, a large number of semiconductor materials, including oxides, sulfides, and nitrogen oxides, have been used for photocatalytic hydrogen production from water reduction. , Among these, metal sulfides, such as Mn x Cd 1– x S, have shown promising hydrogen production performances because of wide solar response and suitable band edge positions . However, the H 2 evolution rate of Mn x Cd 1– x S is still unsatisfied because of the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. , To solve these problems, several strategies, including metal doping, cocatalyst modification, , morphological tailoring, and construction of a heterojunction, − have been developed to further improve the photoactivity of Mn x Cd 1– x S. Among these approaches, cocatalyst modification and construction of a heterojunction can be considered as ideal approaches because of the accelerated charge separation.…”

Graphene/Pyridylporphyrin Hybrids Interfacially Linked with Rare Earth Ions for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

“…In order to solve the problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage, it is important to explore a kind of new and clean energy to be used in the future. H 2 energy is a sustainable green energy that can be obtained in many ways. Compared with electrolysis of water and petroleum cracking, photocatalytic H 2 production from water reduction is a good way due to its relative simplicity, environmental friendliness, and reduced energy consumption. , …”
