NiCoP nanoparticles anchored on CdS nanorods for enhanced hydrogen production by visible light-driven formic acid dehydrogenation

Hydrogen Production from Formic Acid by In Situ Generated Ni/CdS Photocatalytic System under Visible Light Irradiation

“…In Figure 2A, the two peaks at 161.5 eV and 162.6 eV can be assigned to S 2p 3/2 and S 2p 1/2 , respectively. These signals represent typical peaks of Cd 2+ and S 2− in the CdS photocatalyst [10,11] . After irradiation, two new peaks appeared at 162.0 eV and 163.2 eV for S 2p 3/2 and S 2p 1/2 in the S 2p XPS spectrum.…”

“…The synergetic visible light photocatalysis and noble‐metal‐free catalysis [7] with tolerance of aqueous media would be an ideal method for H 2 production from the renewable bio‐based HCO 2 H. In this field, elegant catalytic systems such as CdS/CoP@RGO, [8] CoPSA‐CdS, [9] NiCoP@CdS, [10] FeP@CdS, [11] etc [12] . have been developed for H 2 production from aqueous solutions of HCO 2 H, with major endeavors on the cocatalyst to improve the catalytic efficiency.…”

Boosting CdS Photocatalytic Activity for Hydrogen Evolution in Formic Acid Solution by P Doping and MoS2 Photodeposition

“…Figure S3 demonstrated that the exact structure of CdS/P/MoS 2 does not change significantly before and after the photocatalytic reaction for 12 h. In addition, as shown in Figure 6 a, the apparent quantum efficiencies of CdS/P/MoS 2 at 420 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm and 600 nm are 6.39%, 4.57%, 3.05%, and 2.14%, respectively. The photocatalytic performances of CdS/P/MoS 2 to degrade formic acid for hydrogen production were compared with those of the recently reported photocatalysts in Table S1 [ 2 , 6 , 12 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ], which indicates the application potential of P-doping and MoS 2 engineered CdS nanorods for the photocatalytic decomposition of formic acid.…”

Highly efficient photocatalytic formic acid decomposition to syngas under visible light using CdS nanorods integrated with crystalline W2N3 nanosheets

“…37 Other transition metal phosphide-based photocatalysts also show high selectivity for FA dehydrogenation with almost no CO evolution, such as FeP and NiCoP. 19,38 Although numerous photocatalysts have been developed, there are still few excellent photocatalysts for syngas production from FA decomposition. Recently, our group reported that homogeneous Fe-salen can be used as a low-cost and highly efficient catalyst for photocatalytic FA decomposition.…”
