Efficient charge transfer in cadmium sulfide quantum dot-decorated hierarchical zinc sulfide-coated tin disulfide cages for carbon dioxide photoreduction

Advances in zeolitic-imidazolate-framework-based catalysts for photo-/electrocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction and N2 reduction applications

“…Growing SnS 2 nanosheets on ZnS cages before modification with CdS quantum dots, Zhao and coworkers constructed ZnS@SnS 2 /CdS type I/type II heterostructures. 149 The distinctive hollow multi-junction structures enabled exposure of a large number of active sites, efficient charge separation and migration, and a large capacity for CO 2 adsorption, resulting in a CO formation rate of 155.57 μmol g −1 h −1 with a selectivity of 80.4%. Su et al grew Cd 0.8 Zn 0.2 S nanowires with diethyltriamine (DETA) on the outer surface of hollow Co 9 S 8 polyhedron and obtained Co 9 S 8 @Cd 0.8 Zn 0.2 S-DETA nanocages.…”

Evaluation of zinc sulfide heterostructures as catalysts for the transformation of CO2 into valuable chemicals and clean energy generation

“…Notably, ZnS and ternary sulfide, ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZIS), have been studied and have also been combined with other materials to form nanocomposites and heterostructures using the hydrothermal method, leading to the evolution of new compounds with fine tunable morphologies and interesting properties. 26 A summary of the studies done using the hydrothermal/solvothermal method for the synthesis of doped ZnS and composites is presented in Table 1. The findings revealed that the composites and doped ZnS materials showed better optical properties and performances than the pristine ZnS material.…”

A novel 1D/2D core/shell CdS@SnS2 heterostructure for efficient piezocatalytic hydrogen evolution and pollutant degradation

“…29,30 CdS and SnS 2 have suitable energy band structures and tunable morphologies, and heterojunction composites composed of them have been used in many elds of photocatalysis. [31][32][33] However, as far as we know, SnS 2 /CdS heterojunction composites have not yet been applied in the eld of piezocatalysis, although both CdS and SnS 2 have shown promising piezocatalytic properties.…”
