Hollow NiCo<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub> Nanospheres as a Cocatalyst to Support ZnIn<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub> Nanosheets for Visible-Light-Driven Hydrogen Production
Abstract:The rational interface tailoring of nanosheets on hollow spheres is a promising strategy to develop efficient photocatalysts for hydrogen production with solar energy. Among the various photocatalyst materials, metal sulfides have been extensively researched because of their relatively narrow band gap and superior visible-light response. ZnIn2S4 is a layered ternary chalcogenide semiconductor photocatalyst with a tunable band gap energy (approximately 2.4 eV). Among various metal sulfide photocatalysts, ZnIn2S… Show more
“…49 Thus, it was concluded that the g-C 3 N 4 /CoP@C-200 composite material had a strong charge-separation ability, which led to an improvement in H 2 production performance. [50][51][52][53][54] This conclusion was consistent with the results obtained from the EIS analysis; the Nyquist plot of the composite had the smallest semicircle diameter by comparison with those of g-C 3 N 4 and CoP@C (Fig. 4d).…”
Catalysts with low cost, high efficiency, and no need for precious metals cocatalysts, are the key to realizing the maximum utilization of solar energy-efficient hydrogen (H2) production. In this study,...

“…Generally, a larger arc radius corresponds to a greater inherent resistance. [77][78][79][80][81][82][83] Excitingly, 10CN/BWO shows the smallest arc radius among the samples, showing that 10CN/BWO has the lowest charge-transfer resistance, greatly boosting its efficient charge separation.…”
Building step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunctions is newly emerging to be an efficient means to get excellent photocatalysts for water pollution control. Herein, a 2D/0D S-scheme heterojunction of C3N5/Bi2WO6 is synthesized by...
“…In order to investigate the photocatalytic mechanism, UPS was performed (Fig. 8a and b), and the W f (work function), E V and E C can be estimated based on the following equations: 54,55 W f = 21.22 − E 1 E V = W f + E 2 E C = E V − E g E NHE = − E AVS − 4.5where E 1 is the upper emission onset energy, E 2 is the lower emission onset energy, E NHE is the energy of the normal hydrogen electrode and E AVS is the energy of absolute vacuum. The E V and E C values of the Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S are presented in Table 1.…”
