研究目的
To enhance photocatalytic hydrogen production activity by designing a 2D/2D/2D heterojunction of Ti3C2 MXene/MoS2 nanosheets/TiO2 nanosheets with exposed (001) facets.
研究成果
The Ti3C2@TiO2@MoS2 composite with 15 wt% MoS2 loading exhibits high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity (6425.297 μmol g?1 h?1) due to effective charge separation facilitated by the 2D-2D-2D heterojunction, surface heterojunction between TiO2 facets, and cocatalyst roles of Ti3C2 and MoS2. The composite shows good stability and potential for applications in clean energy.
研究不足
Excess Ti3C2 and MoS2 can cause light shielding effects, reducing photocatalytic efficiency; the method requires precise control of cocatalyst loading amounts to avoid adverse effects.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A two-step hydrothermal method was used to in situ grow TiO2 nanosheets on Ti3C2 MXene and deposit MoS2 nanosheets on the (101) facets of TiO
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Ti3AlC2 powder was etched to obtain Ti3C2 MXene; TiO2 nanosheets were synthesized using Ti(OBu)4 or from Ti3C2; MoS2 was deposited using Na2MoO4·2H2O and thiourea.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium tetrafluoroborate, sodium molybdate dihydrate, thiourea, Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclaves, vacuum oven, X-ray diffractometer (XRD, D/Max 2500PC Rigaku), scanning electron microscope (FESEM, FEI Nova Nanosem 450), transmission electron microscope (HRTEM, JEOL JEM 2100F), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS, Thermo ESCALAB 250XI), UV–vis spectrophotometer (Hitachi UV-3101), BET surface area analyzer (Micromeritics ASAP2020), fluorescence spectrometer (FLS920), Xe arc lamp (CELHXF300), gas chromatograph (Techcomp GC-7920).
4:0). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Ti3C2 was prepared by etching Ti3AlC2 with HF; Ti3C2@TiO2 was synthesized hydrothermally with HCl and NaBF4; Ti3C2@TiO2@MoS2 was prepared by hydrothermal treatment with Na2MoO4·2H2O and thiourea; photocatalytic tests were conducted in a Pyrex glass vessel with a Xe lamp, and hydrogen was analyzed by gas chromatography.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD for phase analysis, SEM/TEM for morphology, XPS for chemical states, UV–vis DRS for optical properties, BET for surface area, PL for charge separation, photocurrent and EIS for electrochemical properties.
