Direct Z-scheme heterojunction of ZnO/MoS2 nanoarrays realized by flowing-induced piezoelectric field for enhanced sunlight photocatalytic performances

Z‐scheme CuSbS2/ZnO Heterojunction for Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of RhB

“…In addition, three major diffraction peaks at 31.80°, 34.32°and 36.37°are observed in the bare ZnO. XRD patterns are associated to the (100), (002), and (101) plane for the wurtzite hexagonal structure of ZnO (JCPDS 36-1451) [20] , respectively. Figure 2(b) shows the samples with different ZnO contents all have the two phases of CAS and ZnO.…”

Advances in Z‐scheme semiconductor photocatalysts for the photoelectrochemical applications: A review

“…n‐ and p‐type semiconductors comprise a photoanode and a photocathode, which catalyse the oxidation and reduction reactions, respectively. Direct Z‐scheme photocatalysts are classified into several types based on different properties, such as those based on g‐C 3 N 4 , TiO 2 , BiVO 4 and sulphides (CdS) 58,59 and metal oxides (such as WO 3 , 60–63 ZnO 64,65 and Fe 2 O 3 66 ).…”

Preparation and Photocatalytic Performance of MoS2/ZnS/ZnO‐T Heterojunction Photocatalyst for Dye Degradation in Water

“…[41][42][43] For ZnS/ ZnO-T heterojunction, ZnS could be acted as the receptor of a photogenerated electron during the photocatalytic process, resulting in the enhancement of migration efficiency of photogenerated charge carrier pairs. For MoS because of the decrease of the barrier height between the conduction band of ZnO and the valence band of MoS 2 , [44] electron recombination will be suppressed, resulting in the faster separation of the electron-hole pairs and the increase of the reaction sites. In addition, the strong interaction among MoS 2 , ZnS, and ZnO interface promotes the charge transfer and further improves the photocatalytic activity.…”
