研究目的
To develop noble-metal-free photocatalysts for highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting by integrated structural regulation of morphology, electronic band structures, and surface active sites.
研究成果
The 1D Cd1?xZnxS@O-MoS2/NiOx nanohybrids exhibit highly efficient visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution due to optimized morphology, band structures, and active sites. The best performance was achieved with 15% Zn-doping and 0.2 wt% O-MoS2, showing significant enhancement over Pt-loaded catalysts and good stability. This work provides insights for designing advanced photocatalysts for energy conversion.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific synthesis conditions and materials (Cd1?xZnxS, O-MoS2, NiOx); scalability and practical application in large-scale water splitting may require further optimization. The use of sacrificial agents (e.g., lactic acid, Na2S/Na2SO3) may not be sustainable for real-world applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A two-step solvothermal method followed by an in situ photodeposition process was used to synthesize 1D Cd1?xZnxS@O-MoS2/NiOx nanohybrids. The design rationale involves tuning Zn-doping content, O-MoS2 layer growth, and NiOx deposition to optimize band alignments, active sites, and charge separation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples include Cd1?xZnxS solid solutions (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15), O-MoS2 nanosheets, and their hybrids. Data were acquired through various characterization techniques.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Chemicals from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. (analytical grade), autoclaves, ovens, ultrasonication equipment, and characterization instruments (e.g., XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-vis spectrometer, electrochemical workstation).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved solvothermal reactions in ethylenediamine and DMF, photodeposition under light irradiation, washing, drying, and characterization. Photocatalytic HER tests were conducted in a Labsolar-6A system with a Xe lamp and gas chromatograph.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Bandgap energies calculated from UV-vis spectra using Tauc plots, CBM potentials determined using empirical formulas, photocurrent and EIS measurements for charge separation analysis, and AQY calculated based on H2 evolution and photon counts.
