研究目的
Developing an inexpensive and high-efficiency hydrogen-production cocatalyst to replace the noble metal Pt for sustainable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
研究成果
The Cu3P-CNT cocatalyst exhibits excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity with a maximum rate of 17.22 mmol g-1 h-1 and AQE of 10.23% at 500 nm. CNT enhances charge separation and electron transfer, leading to improved performance. This work provides a strategy for efficient, noble metal-free photocatalytic systems.
研究不足
The stability of the photocatalyst decreases after multiple cycles due to separation of Cu3P from CNT. Excessive CNT loading reduces photocatalytic performance by decreasing active sites. The system's efficiency is lower than some noble metal-based systems.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves synthesizing Cu3P-CNT cocatalysts via high-temperature phosphatizing of Cu(OH)2-CNT, and evaluating their photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance in a semiconductor-free system with Eosin Y dye. Theoretical models include mechanisms of electron transfer and hydrogen evolution reactions.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples include Cu3P, CNT, and Cu3P-CNT composites with varying CNT mass ratios (0.5% to 10%). Data is sourced from laboratory synthesis and characterization.

List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment includes XRD (MSAL-XD2 diffractometer), TEM and HRTEM (JEM-2100HR), PL spectra (LS 50B Perkin Elmer), photocatalytic setup with a 350 W Xe lamp (PLS-SXE300, Beijing Perfect Light Technology Co., Ltd), and GC-9500 chromatograph. Materials include copper nitrate, NaOH, NaH2PO2, CNT, Eosin Y, triethanolamine (TEOA).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involves mixing copper nitrate and NaOH to form Cu(OH)2, then heating with NaH2PO2 at 300°C for 1h to form Cu3P. For Cu3P-CNT, CNT is added to copper nitrate solution, sonicated, then treated similarly. Photocatalytic tests are conducted in a three-neck flask with EY and TEOA under N2 atmosphere, illuminated by Xe lamp, and hydrogen is measured by gas chromatography.
