“…A round bottom flask was fitted with a condenser connected to a water inlet and outlet to condense the vapor back into the reaction vessel to keep the total volume constant. In this method, the reaction temperature is the boiling point of the solvent in the reaction vessel [81]. CuCl 2 , ZnCl 2 , SnCl 2 •2H 2 O, and thiourea were used as the precursor materials for producing Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 and the refluxing time was 8 h. The reaction mechanism is given below.…”

Development of efficient and affordable photocatalysts is of great significance for energy production and environmental sustainability. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) with particle sizes in the 1–100 nm have been used for various applications such as photocatalysis, photovoltaic, and energy storage due to their quantum confinement effect, optoelectronic behavior, and their stability. In particular, TMCs and their heterostructures have great potential as an emerging inexpensive and sustainable alternative to metal-based catalysts for hydrogen evolution. Herein, the methods used for the fabrication of TMCs, characterization techniques employed, and the different methods of solar hydrogen production by using different TMCs as photocatalyst are reviewed. This review provides a summary of TMC photocatalysts for hydrogen production.

“…[132] Other Methods: The aqueous-based reflux method is a simple, low cost process that gives the desired product with precise control over reaction parameters for metal phosphates. [133,134] It has been used to synthesize various nanostructured materials of VOPO 4 ·2H 2 O. [109,135,136] By exfoliation of bulk VOPO 4 ·2H 2 O prepared via reflux process, VOPO 4 ultrathin nanosheets could be formed, with a higher surface area and better electrochemical performances.…”

Phosphorus compounds, such as metal phosphides and phosphates have shown excellent performances and great potential in electrochemical energy storage, which are demonstrated by research works published in recent years. Some of these metal phosphides and phosphates and their hybrids compare favorably with transition metal oxides/hydroxides, which have been studied extensively as a class of electrode materials for supercapacitor applications, where they have limitations in terms of electrical and ion conductivity and device stability. To be specific, metal phosphides have both metalloid characteristics and good electric conductivity. For metal phosphates, the open-framework structures with large channels and cavities endow them with good ion conductivity and charge storage capacity. In this review, we present the recent progress on metal phosphides and phosphates, by focusing on their advantages/disadvantages and potential applications as a new class of electrode materials in supercapacitors. The synthesis methods to prepare these metal phosphides/phosphates are looked into, together with the scientific insights involved, as they strongly affect the electrochemical energy storage performance. Particular attentions are paid to those hybrid-type materials, where strong synergistic effects exist. In the summary, the future perspectives and challenges for the metal phosphides, phosphates and hybrid-types are proposed and discussed.
