Low‐energy facets on CdS allomorph junctions with optimal phase ratio are designed to boost charge directional transfer for photocatalytic H2 fuel evolution. Fermi energy level difference between low‐energy facets as driving force promotes electrons directional transfer to hexagonal CdS(102) facet and holes to cubic CdS(111) facet. The optimal allomorphs CdS presents superior photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 32.95 mmol g?1 h?1 with release in a large amount of visible H2 bubbles, which is much higher than single‐phase CdS with high‐energy facets and even supports noble metal photocatalysts. This scientific perspective on low‐energy facets of allomorph junctions with optimal phase ratio breaks the long‐held view of pursuing high‐energy crystal surfaces, which will break the understanding on surface structure crystal facet engineering of photocatalytic materials. 相似文献

2D organic g-C3N4 photocatalysts are low cost materials with facile fabrication, suitable bandgap, tunable functionalization, excellent thermal/chemical-physical stability and exceptional photocatalytic behavior, raising considerable interest in photocatalytic and redox research areas. The photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4 mostly relies on the separation/transfer of photo-generated carriers. The mobility properties of the carrier largely determine the formation of reactive species, which have a high impact on surface reactions in the photocatalytic systems based on g-C3N4. This review paper outlines the works carried out so far on the optimization of the carrier mobility dynamics of 2D g-C3N4 materials via the internal and external modification strategies. The peculiar layered planar structure of g-C3N4 allows charge carrier mobility at the interface, in-plane and interlayer, and mechanisms of the charge separation/transfer will also be discussed. Comprehensive conclusions and perspectives on the modification of g-C3N4 leading to satisfactory carrier mobility will be given as well. 相似文献

DDAT(S-1-Dodecyl-S′-(α, α′-dimethyl-α″-acetic acid) trithiocarbonate) modified TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared by hydrothermal treatment before TiO2 crystallization. The adsorption of DDAT onto the surface of titania nanoparticles led the shifting of the onset wavelength of the optical absorption in the visible range corresponding to ligand-to-metal charge transfer transition within the surface-modified complex. The interaction of TiO2 nanoparticles with DDAT was investigated by infrared spectra. The XRD indicated that the modification process could not influence the crystallite phase of TiO2. The photocatalytic studies suggested that the DDAT modified TiO2 photocatalysts showed enhanced photocatalytic efficiency of photodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol compared with the as-prepared TiO2 under visible-light irradiation. 相似文献

Recently, two-dimensional (2D) carbon-based materials and their nanocomposites have gained considerable fascination as a photocatalysts due to their remarkable contribution towards photocatalytic water splitting and remediation. Herein, a novel 2D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based silver doped molybdenum trioxide (Ag/MoO3) photocatalyst was synthesized successfully via hydrothermal and ultra-sonication methods. The surface structure, morphology, functional group characterization, and bandgap of the synthesized photocatalysts were analyzed using advanced physicochemical techniques. The photocatalytic performance of the prepared materials was scrutinized for Methylene blue (MB) dye degradation under solar light illumination. Because of its lower charge transfer resistance (19.54 Ω) and higher electrical conductivity (12.74 × 102 Sm?1) the rGO/Ag/MoO3 photocatalyst demonstrated significantly higher photocatalytic activity for dye removal than pure MoO3 and Ag/MoO3 photocatalysts. In particular, the rGO/Ag/MoO3 photocatalyst illustrated about 98% dye degradation at a rate constant (0.0571 min?1) greater than MoO3 (0.0097 min?1) and Ag/MoO3 (0.0184 min?1). Ag doping and the addition of rGO sheets led to enhanced optical absorbance and effectual separation of photo-induced electron-hole pairs, causing major progress in the photocatalytic behavior of MoO3. Transient photocurrent results revealed longstanding photo-excited charge carriers in the graphene-based material. 相似文献

Photocatalysis for solar‐driven reactions promises a bright future in addressing energy and environmental challenges. The performance of photocatalysis is highly dependent on the design of photocatalysts, which can be rationally tailored to achieve efficient light harvesting, promoted charge separation and transport, and accelerated surface reactions. Due to its unique feature, semiconductors with hollow structure offer many advantages in photocatalyst design including improved light scattering and harvesting, reduced distance for charge migration and directed charge separation, and abundant surface reactive sites of the shells. Herein, the relationship between hollow nanostructures and their photocatalytic performance are discussed. The advantages of hollow nanostructures are summarized as: 1) enhancement in the light harvesting through light scattering and slow photon effects; 2) suppression of charge recombination by reducing charge transfer distance and directing separation of charge carriers; and 3) acceleration of the surface reactions by increasing accessible surface areas for separating the redox reactions spatially. Toward the end of the review, some insights into the key challenges and perspectives of hollow structured photocatalysts are also discussed, with a good hope to shed light on further promoting the rapid progress of this dynamic research field. 相似文献

The ternary ZnO-ZnFe2O4/palygorskite composite photocatalysts were fabricated via a solvothermal method followed by thermal treatment. The structure, morphology and photoelectric performances of samples were characterized, and the results indicated that ZnO/ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles with size of 25–30 nm were adequately anchored on the palygorskite fibers surface. Compared with ZnO, ZnFe2O4, ZnO/ZnFe2O4 and ZnO/palygorskite, the ZnO-ZnFe2O4/palygorskite composite photocatalysts exhibited significantly improved photocatalytic activity in degradation of methylene blue (MB). Especially, the optimal photocatalyst (ZF1.5) displayed the highest photocatalytic activity, achieving 99.68% and 99.48% degradation efficiency after 90 min of UV–vis (350 ≤ λ ≤ 780 nm) and 100 min of visible-light (λ ≥ 420 nm) irradiation, respectively. The photocatalysis degradation process matched well with the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics. The obtained improvement of photocatalytic activity was ascribed to the synergetic effect of superior visible-light utilization; effective charge carrier separation and palygorskite support effect (optimize nanoparticles dispersibility, developed mesoporous structure, enlarge specific surface area and increase adsorption capacity). 相似文献

Semiconductor photocatalysis is recognized as a promising strategy to simultaneously address energy needs and environmental pollution. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been investigated for such applications due to its low cost, nontoxicity, and high chemical stability. However, pristine TiO2 still suffers from low utilization of visible light and high photogenerated‐charge‐carrier recombination rate. Recently, TiO2 photocatalysts modified by dual cocatalysts with different functions have attracted much attention due to the extended light absorption, enhanced reactant adsorption, and promoted charge‐carrier‐separation efficiency granted by various cocatalysts. Recent progress on the component and structural design of dual cocatalysts in TiO2 photocatalysts is summarized. Depending on their components, dual cocatalysts decorated on TiO2 photocatalysts can be divided into the following categories: bimetallic cocatalysts, metal–metal oxide/sulfide cocatalysts, metal–graphene cocatalysts, and metal oxide/sulfide–graphene cocatalysts. Depending on their architecture, they can be categorized into randomly deposited binary cocatalysts, facet‐dependent selective‐deposition binary cocatalysts, and core–shell structural binary cocatalysts. Concluding perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for the further exploration of dual cocatalyst–modified TiO2 photocatalysts are presented. 相似文献

The rational design of the directional charge transfer channel represents an important strategy to finely tune the charge migration and separation in photocatalytic CO2-to-fuel conversion. Despite the progress made in crafting high-performance photocatalysts, developing elegant photosystems with precisely modulated interfacial charge transfer feature remains a grand challenge. Here, a facile one-pot method is developed to achieve in situ self-assembly of Pd nanocrystals (NYs) on the transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) substrate with the aid of a non-conjugated insulating polymer, i.e., branched polyethylenimine (bPEI), for photoreduction of CO2 to syngas (CO/H2). The generic reducing capability of the abundant amine groups grafted on the molecular backbone of bPEI fosters the homogeneous growth of Pd NYs on the TMC framework. Intriguingly, the self-assembled TMCs@bPEI@Pd heterostructure with bi-directional spatial charge transport pathways exhibit significantly boosted photoactivity toward CO2-to-syngas conversion under visible light irradiation, wherein bPEI serves as an efficient hole transfer mediator, and simultaneously Pd NYs act as an electron-withdrawing modulator for accelerating spatially vectorial charge separation. Furthermore, in-depth understanding of the in situ formed intermediates during the CO2 photoreduction process are exquisitely probed. This work provides a quintessential paradigm for in situ construction of multi-component heterojunction photosystem for solar-to-fuel energy conversion. 相似文献

Solar photocatalysis is a potential solution to satisfying energy demand and its resulting environmental impact. However, the low electron–hole separation efficiency in semiconductors has slowed the development of this technology. The effect of defects on electron–hole separation is not always clear. A model atomically thin structure of single‐unit‐cell Bi3O4Br nanosheets with surface defects is proposed to boost photocatalytic efficiency by simultaneously promoting bulk‐ and surface‐charge separation. Defect‐rich single‐unit‐cell Bi3O4Br displays 4.9 and 30.9 times enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and nitrogen fixation activity, respectively, than bulk Bi3O4Br. After the preparation of single‐unit‐cell structure, the bismuth defects are controlled to tune the oxygen defects. Benefiting from the unique single‐unit‐cell architecture and defects, the local atomic arrangement and electronic structure are tuned so as to greatly increase the charge separation efficiency and subsequently boost photocatalytic activity. This strategy provides an accessible pathway for next‐generation photocatalysts. 相似文献

Promising semiconductor‐based photocatalysis toward achieving efficient solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion is an ideal strategy in response to the growing worldwide energy crisis, which however is often practically limited by the insufficient photoinduced charge‐carrier separation. Here, a rational cascade engineering of Au nanoparticles (NPs) decorated 2D/2D Bi2WO6–TiO2 (B–T) binanosheets to foster the photocatalytic efficiency through the manipulated flow of multichannel‐enhanced charge‐carrier separation and transfer is reported. Mechanistic characterizations and control experiments, in combination with comparative studies over plasmonic Au/Ag NPs and nonplasmonic Pt NPs decorated 2D/2D B–T composites, together demonstrate the cooperative synergy effect of multiple charge‐carrier transfer channels in such binanosheets‐based ternary composites, including Z‐scheme charge transfer, “electron sink,” and surface plasmon resonance effect, which integratively leads to the boosted photocatalytic performance. 相似文献

Ever‐increasing fossil‐fuel combustion along with massive CO2 emissions has aroused a global energy crisis and climate change. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction represents a promising strategy for clean, cost‐effective, and environmentally friendly conversion of CO2 into hydrocarbon fuels by utilizing solar energy. This strategy combines the reductive half‐reaction of CO2 conversion with an oxidative half reaction, e.g., H2O oxidation, to create a carbon‐neutral cycle, presenting a viable solution to global energy and environmental problems. There are three pivotal processes in photocatalytic CO2 conversion: (i) solar‐light absorption, (ii) charge separation/migration, and (iii) catalytic CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation. While significant progress is made in optimizing the first two processes, much less research is conducted toward enhancing the efficiency of the third step, which requires the presence of cocatalysts. In general, cocatalysts play four important roles: (i) boosting charge separation/transfer, (ii) improving the activity and selectivity of CO2 reduction, (iii) enhancing the stability of photocatalysts, and (iv) suppressing side or back reactions. Herein, for the first time, all the developed CO2‐reduction cocatalysts for semiconductor‐based photocatalytic CO2 conversion are summarized, and their functions and mechanisms are discussed. Finally, perspectives in this emerging area are provided. 相似文献

Titanium dioxide/N-doped carbon core/shell nanoparticles enabling efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B, considered a model compound for water-soluble environmental pollutants, were successfully prepared by the carbonization of dopamine-grafted TiO2 nanoparticles. These precursor nanoparticles were prepared via simple ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) between TiO2 nanoparticles and dopamine. Owing to the incorporation of Ti–O–C chelating bonds and the subsequent narrowing of the optical band gap, the dopamine-derivatized photocatalyst demonstrated enhanced activity compared with that of commercial photocatalysts and promoted the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B under both UV light and visible light. This LMCT-mediated incorporation of thin amorphous N-doped carbon shells onto the surface of semiconducting photocatalysts may be widely applicable for the generation of novel and robust hybrid materials with enhanced photocatalytic activities for many applications. 相似文献

Uranium extraction from natural seawater is one of the most promising routes to address the shortage of uranium resources. By combination of ligand complexation and photocatalytic reduction, porous framework-based photocatalysts have been widely applied to uranium enrichment. However, their practical applicability is limited by poor photocatalytic activity and low adsorption capacity. Herein, atomically dispersed Cu implanted UiO-66-NH2 (Cu SA@UiO-66-NH2) photocatalysts are prepared via ligand-assistant iced photocatalytic reduction route. N—Cu–N moiety acts as an effective electron acceptor to potentially facilitate charge transfer kinetics. By contrast, there exist Cu sub-nanometer clusters by the typical liquid phase photoreduction, resulting in a relatively low photocatalytic activity. Cu SA@UiO-66-NH2 adsorbents exhibit superior antibacterial ability and improved photoreduction conversion of the adsorbed U(VI) to insoluble U(IV), leading to a high uranium sorption capacity of 9.16 mg-U/g-Ads from natural seawater. This study provides new insight for enhancing uranium uptake by designing SA-mediated MOF photocatalysts. 相似文献

Photoreduction of CO2 into valuable fuels is a clean and sustainable way to mitigate the energy crisis and environmental problems. Factors limiting the efficiency of CO2 photoreduction include narrow-band light absorption, poor charge carrier separation and transport, and sluggish activation/reaction of CO2 on the surface of photocatalyst. In recent years, defect engineering of photocatalysts emerges as an effective method to improve their efficiency in the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into useful fuels. This review is focused on discussing how structural defects can be used to modulate the electronic structure of the photocatalysts and activate the inert CO2 molecules. Special emphasis is placed on the important impact of defects on the charge carrier dynamics of the photocatalysts. Our discussions cover a variety of defective semiconductors, including metal oxides, metal sulfides, and two dimensional materials. In addition, the challenges and prospects of defect engineering in photoreduction of CO2 are also analyzed. This review aims to provide useful information about the fundamental principles of photoreduction of CO2 and guidance on the design and preparation of defective photocatalysts. 相似文献

Despite enormous progress and improvement in photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), the development of photocatalysts that suppress H2 evolution reaction (HER), during CO2RR, remains still a challenge. Here, new insight is presented for controllable CO2RR selectivity by tuning the architecture of the photocatalyst. Au/carbon nitride with planar structure (p Au/CN) showed high activity for HER with 87% selectivity. In contrast, the same composition with a yolk@shell structure (Y@S Au@CN) exhibited high selectivity of carbon products by suppressing the HER to 26% under visible light irradiation. Further improvement for CO2RR activity was achieved by a surface decoration of the yolk@shell structure with Au25(PET)18 clusters as favorable electron acceptors, resulting in longer charge separation in Au@CN/Auc Y@S structure. Finally, by covering the structure with graphene layers, the designed catalyst maintained high photostability during light illumination and showed high photocatalytic efficiency. The optimized Au@CN/Auc/G Y@S structure displays high photocatalytic CO2RR selectivity of 88%, where the CO and CH4 generations during 8 h are 494 and 198 µmol/gcat., respectively. This approach combining architecture engineering and composition modification provides a new strategy with improved activity and controllable selectivity toward targeting applications in energy conversion catalysis. 相似文献

A surface bond-grafted multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/TiO2 as supporter, palladium nanoparticles, approximately 3 nm in diameter, are uniformly deposited on the functional MWCNT surface in first, constructing a novel Pd-MWCNT/TiO2 photocatalyst for photocatalytic solar conversion. The characterization of photocatalysts by a series of joint techniques, including BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Raman spectroscopy and ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) diffuse reflectance spectra, discloses that palladium nanoparticles has a crucial role in enhancement of photocatalytic activity of MWCNT/TiO2, that is to act as a charge transfer channel, which helps to trap electrons from MWCNT to TiO2. 相似文献

Solar‐energy‐driven CO2 conversion into value‐added chemical fuels holds great potential in renewable energy generation. However, the rapid recombination of charge carriers and deficient reactive sites, as two major obstacles, severely hampers the photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity. Herein, a desirable surface halogenation strategy to address the aforementioned concerns over a Sillén‐related layer‐structured photocatalyst Bi2O2(OH)(NO3) (BON) is demonstrated. The surface halogen ions that are anchored on the Bi atoms by replacing surface hydroxyls on the one hand facilitate the local charge separation, and, on the other hand, activate the hydroxyls that profoundly boost the adsorption of CO2 molecules and protons and facilitate the CO2 conversion process, as evidenced by experimental and theoretical results collectively. Among the three series of BON‐X (X = Cl, Br, and I) catalysts, BON‐Br shows the most substantially enhanced CO production rate (8.12 µmol g?1 h?1) without any sacrificial agents or cocatalysts, ≈73 times higher than that of pristine Bi2O2(OH)(NO3), also exceeding that of the state‐of‐the‐art photocatalysts reported to date. This work presents a surface polarization protocol for engineering charge behavior and reactive sites to promote photocatalysis, which shows great promise to the future design of high‐performance materials for clean energy production. 相似文献

Atomic level decoration route is designated as one of the attractive methods to regulate both the charge density and band structure of photocatalysts. Moreover, to enable more efficient separation and transport of photocarriers, the construction of novel active sites can enhance both the reactivity and electrical conductivity of the crystal. Herein, an Li–N ligand is constructed via co-doping lithium and nitrogen atoms into ZnIn2S4 lattice, which achieves a promoted photocatalytic H2 evolution at 9737 µmol g−1 h−1. The existence of Li–N ligand pairs and the behaviors of photocarriers on L40N5ZIS are determined systematically, which also provides a unique insight into the mechanism of the improved photocarrier migration rate. With the introduction of Li–N dual sites, the vacancy form of ZnIn2S4 has changed and the photocatalytic stability is significantly improved. Interestingly, the change of charge density around Li–N ligand in ZnIn2S4 is determined by theoretical simulations, as well as the regulated energy barrier of photocatalytic water splitting caused by Li–N dual sites, which act as both adsorption site for H2O and stronger reactive sites. This work helps to extend the understanding of ZnIn2S4 and offers a fresh perspective for the creation of a Li–N co-doped photocatalyst. 相似文献

The challenge in the artificial photosynthesis of fossil resources from CO2 by utilizing solar energy is to achieve stable photocatalysts with effective CO2 adsorption capacity and high charge‐separation efficiency. A hierarchical direct Z‐scheme system consisting of urchin‐like hematite and carbon nitride provides an enhanced photocatalytic activity of reduction of CO2 to CO, yielding a CO evolution rate of 27.2 µmol g?1 h?1 without cocatalyst and sacrifice reagent, which is >2.2 times higher than that produced by g‐C3N4 alone (10.3 µmol g?1 h?1). The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the Z‐scheme hybrid material can be ascribed to its unique characteristics to accelerate the reduction process, including: (i) 3D hierarchical structure of urchin‐like hematite and preferable basic sites which promotes the CO2 adsorption, and (ii) the unique Z‐scheme feature efficiently promotes the separation of the electron–hole pairs and enhances the reducibility of electrons in the conduction band of the g‐C3N4. The origin of such an obvious advantage of the hierarchical Z‐scheme is not only explained based on the experimental data but also investigated by modeling CO2 adsorption and CO adsorption on the three different atomic‐scale surfaces via density functional theory calculation. The study creates new opportunities for hierarchical hematite and other metal‐oxide‐based Z‐scheme system for solar fuel generation. 相似文献
