Encapsulating N‑doped graphite carbon in MoO2 as a novel cocatalyst for boosting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Hierarchical MoO2/ZnIn2S4 Schottky Heterojunction Stimulated Photocatalytic H2 Evolution under Visible Light

“…Interestingly, the characterizations in the literature reveal that Φ of ZnIn 2 S 4 is 3–4 eV, ,, which is much lower than that of MoO 2 , suggesting the feasibility of constructing a Schottky heterojunction according to the above discussion. The argument may be further strengthened by the recently reported MoO 2 –graphite carbon–ZnIn 2 S 4 hybrid …”

Recent progress on Bi4O5Br2-based photocatalysts for environmental remediation and energy conversion

“…Carbon materials are capable of enhancing the electron transfer rates due to their conjugated π structure and high conductivity. [94][95][96][97][98] Various carbon materials containing graphene, carbon quantum dots and carbon nitride are used to form composites with photocatalytic semiconductors. [99][100][101] As is known, the two-dimensional (2D) structure and large specific surface area of graphene make it an ideal carrier for photocatalytic semiconductors.…”
