Collaborative hydrothermal and calcination fabrication of ZnOS heterostructures for visible-light-driven H₂ production

Abstract

Photocatalytic overall water splitting is forecasted as a promising strategy for H2 production. Herein, novel zinc oxide/zinc sulfide (ZnOS-x) (x = 1, 2, 3 and 4) heterostructures were fabricated via...

Construction of a Z-scheme heterojunction bifunctional photocatalyst with Ag-modified AgBr embedded in β-Bi2O3 flowers

“…1 In 1972, Fujishima et al 2 discovered the photolysis of water by TiO 2 under sunlight irradiation, and then photocatalytic technology was rapidly developed. Nowadays, TiO 2 , 3,4 ZnO, 5,6 and SnO 2 , 7,8 etc., are the more mature semiconductor photocatalysts, but they all have wider band gaps and only respond to ultraviolet light, which limits their practical application. Therefore, a new type of photocatalyst with stable, highly efficient, recyclable and visible light response characteristics is desired.…”
