Unique 1D Cd <sub/>1?</sub><i> <sub/>x</sub></i> Zn <i> <sub/>x</sub></i> S@O-MoS <sub/>2</sub> /NiO <i> <sub/>x</sub></i> Nanohybrids: Highly Efficient Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution via Integrated Structural Regulation
摘要： Development of noble-metal-free photocatalysts for highly efficient sunlight-driven water splitting is of great interest. Nevertheless, for the photocatalytic H2 evolution reaction (HER), the integrated regulation study on morphology, electronic band structures, and surface active sites of catalyst is still minimal up to now. Herein, well-defined 1D Cd1?xZnxS@O-MoS2/NiOx hybrid nanostructures with enhanced activity and stability for photocatalytic HER are prepared. Interestingly, the band alignments, exposure of active sites, and interfacial charge separation of Cd1?xZnxS@O-MoS2/NiOx are optimized by tuning the Zn-doping content as well as the growth of defect-rich O-MoS2 layer and NiOx nanoparticles, which endow the hybrids with excellent HER performances. Specifically, the visible-light-driven (>420 nm) HER activity of Cd1?xZnxS@O-MoS2/NiOx with 15% Zn-doping and 0.2 wt% O-MoS2 (CZ0.15S-0.2M-NiOx) in lactic acid solution (66.08 mmol h?1 g?1) is about 25 times that of Pt loaded CZ0.15S, which is further increased to 223.17 mmol h?1 g?1 when using Na2S/Na2SO3 as the sacrificial agent. Meanwhile, in Na2S/Na2SO3 solution, the CZ0.15S-0.2M-NiOx sample demonstrates an apparent quantum yield of 64.1% at 420 nm and a good stability for HER under long-time illumination. The results presented in this work can be valuable inspirations for the exploitation of advanced materials for energy-related applications.

Forming an Ultrathin SnS Layer on Cu <sub/>2</sub> ZnSnS <sub/>4</sub> Surface to Achieve Highly Efficient Solar Cells with Zn(O,S) Buffer
摘要： Environmental friendliness demands the use of nontoxic elements in all types of solar cells, and Zn(O,S) thin film as an alternative buffer layer to replace CdS layer in chalcopyrite and kesterite solar cells has attracted enormous attention in the past. However, Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cells with a Zn(O,S) buffer are far inferior to those with CdS buffer despite the potentially better band alignment. Herein, by intentionally controlling the precursor composition, the surface of CZTS can be modified to improve the quality of the Zn(O,S)/CZTS junction for the chemical bath-deposited Zn(O,S) buffer. Such a CZTS solar cell reaches a high conversion efficiency of 7.28%, the highest among all Zn(O,S)-based kesterite solar cells so far. The CZTS surface that can jointly work well with the Zn(O,S) buffer is further investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicate that an ultrathin SnS layer exists on the CZTS surface and effectively raises the conduction band edge of the absorber surface to form a conduction band offset barrier of (cid:3)0.40 eV, significantly better than that without the assistance of SnS layer. A key route for fabricating highly efficient and low-cost Cd-free CZTS thin-film solar cells is described.
