Abstract

A novel ternary photocatalyst CdS/ZnIn2S4/g-C3N4 was designed and constructed by a calcination and two-step in situ deposition method with high-efficiency visible-light photocatalytic performance.

Proceeding of catalytic water splitting on Cu/Ce@g-C3N4 photocatalysts: an exceptional approach for sunlight-driven hydrogen generation

“…No changes in the diffraction pattern were observed, suggesting that the structure and morphology of the photocatalyst remained unaffected after 5 consecutive runs of photoreactions. 76,77…”

“…No changes in the diffraction pattern were observed, suggesting that the structure and morphology of the photocatalyst remained unaffected after 5 consecutive runs of photoreactions. 76,77 Factors affecting photocatalytic performances Effect of pH. The effect of pH on hydrogen generation activity was investigated by adjusting the solution's pH from 2 to 12 using 0.01 M HCl/NaOH.…”

Coupling ZnIn2S4 Nanosheets with MoS2 Hollow Nanospheres as Visible-Light-Active Bifunctional Photocatalysts for Enhancing H2 Evolution and RhB Degradation

“…Energy shortage and environmental pollution have become two major threats to human life in the 21st century, which has sparked a great deal of interest in developing innovative and efficient technologies. − Due to its high efficiency and eco-friendly nature, semiconductor photocatalysis, as one such technology, offers a possible solution to the issues mentioned earlier. − Many semiconductor photocatalytic materials have been created, from pure photocatalysts (TiO 2 , g-C 3 N 4 , CdS, etc.) to composite photocatalysts. − Some of these ternary sulfide compounds, including CdIn 2 S 4 , ZnIn 2 S 4 , AgBi 3 S 5 , and Cu 2 WS 4 , have small band gaps and high visible light absorption, , making them attractive candidates for the photocatalytic field.…”

Plasmonic enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag/TiO2 tube-in-tube fibers

“…For instance, both components could lead to the formation of hydroxyl radical ($OH) in aqueous condition, which is considered as a powerful and green oxidant for the degradation or removal of organic pollutants. [17][18][19][20] The efficiency of a photocatalytic event is related to many factors including the light source, the photocatalyst, the reaction condition and so on. Among them, the property of photocatalyst is considered most important since it decides the efficiency of light harvesting, charge separation and the reaction of photo-generated carriers.…”
