研究目的
Investigating the role of carbon nanofibre in hierarchical WO3/MoSe2 composite for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen generation.
研究成果
The heterojunction WO3/MoSe2@CN’s photocatalysts demonstrated enhanced photocatalytic efficiency for hydrogen generation, attributed to large surface area, extended visible light region, and the formation of a heterojunction scheme. The optimal composite showed a hydrogen evolution rate 7.6 times higher than pure MoSe2, offering potential applications in solar cells, photocatalysis, and bio-imaging.
研究不足
The study does not explicitly mention limitations, but potential areas for optimization could include the quantum yield efficiency of near infrared light photocatalysts and the stability of the photocatalysts over extended periods.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a facile hydrothermal and solvothermal method to incorporate carbon fiber into the interface between WO3 nanodots and MoSe2 needles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
WO3 powder was milled and dissolved in deionized water to prepare WO3 quantum dots. MoSe2 needle-like nanostructures were prepared using a solvothermal approach.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Planetary ball mill, autoclave, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, photoluminescence emission spectra (PL) setup, and gas chromatograph.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved milling WO3 powder, sonicating the solution, centrifuging to obtain WO3 quantum dots, preparing MoSe2 nanostructures, and incorporating carbon nanofibers into the composite.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photocatalytic activity was measured by the amount of hydrogen gas evolved under visible light irradiation, analyzed using an online gas chromatograph.
