Function-reversible facets enabling SrTiO nanocrystals for improved photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Frontiers in Energy doi: 10.1007/s11708-023-0894-4

Abstract: It has been widely reported that, for faceted nanocrystals, the two adjacent facets with different band levels contribute to promoted charge separation, and provide active sites for photocatalytic reduction and oxidation reaction, respectively. In such cases, only one family of facets can be used for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Herein, by using SrTiO3 nanocrystals enclosed by {023} and {001} facets as a model photocatalyst, this paper proposed a strategy to achieve the full-facets-utilization of the nanocrystals for photocatalytic hydrogen via chemically depositing Pt nanoparticles on all facets. The photo-deposition experiment of CdS provided direct evidence to demonstrate that the {023} facets which were responsible for photooxidation reaction can be function-reversed for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution after depositing Pt nanoparticles, together with the {001} facets. Thus, the full-facets-utilization led to a much-improved activity for photocatalytic hydrogen, in contrast to those SrTiO3 nanocrystals with only {001} facets deposited by Pt nanoparticles via a photo-deposition method.

Layered alkali titanates (ATiO): possible uses for energy/environment issues

Frontiers in Energy 2021, Volume 15, Issue 3,   Pages 631-655 doi: 10.1007/s11708-021-0776-6

Abstract: Uses of layered alkali titanates (A2TinO2n+1; Na2Ti3O7, K2Ti4O9, and Cs2Ti5O11) for energy and environmental issues are summarized. Layered alkali titanates of various structural types and compositions are regarded as a class of nanostructured materials based on titanium oxide frameworks. If compared with commonly known titanium dioxides (anatase and rutile), materials design based on layered alkali titanates is quite versatile due to the unique structure (nanosheet) and morphological characters (anisotropic particle shape). Recent development of various synthetic methods (solid-state reaction, flux method, and hydrothermal reaction) for controlling the particle shape and size of layered alkali titanates are discussed. The ion exchange ability of layered alkali titanate is used for the collection of metal ions from water as well as a way of their functionalization. These possible materials design made layered alkali titanates promising for energy (including catalysis, photocatalysts, and battery) and environmental (metal ion concentration from aqueous environments) applications.

Efficient flower-like ZnSe/CuZnS photocatalyst for hydrogen production application

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2023, Volume 17, Issue 9,   Pages 1301-1310 doi: 10.1007/s11705-022-2295-3

Abstract: Photocatalytic hydrogen production utilizing abundant solar energy to produce high-calorie, clean, and pollution-free hydrogen is an important approach to solving environmental and resource problems. In this work, a high-efficiency flower-like ZnSe/Cu0.08Zn0.92S photocatalyst was constructed through element doping and the formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction. The synergistic effect of Cu doping and the built-in electric field in the heterojunction enhanced light absorption and utilization by the ZnSe/Cu0.08Zn0.92S microflowers, accelerated the separation and transfer of photogenerated electrons and effectively inhibited electron–hole recombination. Thus the photocatalytic hydrogen production ability of the ZnSe/Cu0.08Zn0.92S microflowers was increased significantly. The highly stable ZnSe/Cu0.08Zn0.92S microflowers could provide excellent catalysis of photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Sulfur and carbon co-doped g-CN microtubes with enhanced photocatalytic H production activity

Frontiers in Energy doi: 10.1007/s11708-023-0899-z

Abstract: Metal-free graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has captured significant attention as a low-cost and efficient hydrogen production photocatalyst through. Effectively regulating the microstructure and accelerating the separation of photogenerated carriers remain crucial strategies for promoting the photocatalytic performance of this material. Herein, a novel sulfur–carbon co-doped g-C3N4 (SCCN) hierarchical microtubules filled with abundant nanosheets inside by thermal polymerization is reported. Numerous nanosheets create abundant pores and cavities inside the SCCN microtubes, thereby increasing the specific surface area of g-C3N4 and providing sufficient reactant attachment sites. Besides, the hierarchical structure of SCCN microtubules strengthens the reflection and scattering of light, and the utilization of visible light is favorably affected. More importantly, co-doping S and C has greatly improved the photocatalytic performance of graphitic carbon nitride, optimized the band gap structure and enhanced the photogenerated carrier splitting. Consequently, the SCCN exhibits a remarkable photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 4868 μmol/(g·h). This work demonstrates the potential of multi-nonmetal doped g-C3N4 as the ideal photocatalyst for H2 evolution.

Z-scheme CdS/WO on a carbon cloth enabling effective hydrogen evolution

Frontiers in Energy 2021, Volume 15, Issue 3,   Pages 678-686 doi: 10.1007/s11708-021-0768-6

Abstract: Photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen (H2) generation is a potential strategy to solve the problem of energy crisis and environmental deterioration. However, powder-like photocatalysts are difficult to recycle, and the agglomeration of particles would affect the photocatalytic activity. Herein, a direct Z-scheme CdS/WO3 composite photocatalyst was fabricated based on carbon cloth through a two-step process. With the support of carbon cloth, photocatalysts tend to grow uniformly for further applications. The experimental results showed that the H2 yield of adding one piece of CdS/WO3 composite material was 17.28 μmol/h, which was 5.5 times as compared to that of pure CdS-loaded carbon cloth material. A cycle experiment was conducted to verify the stability of the as-prepared material and the result demonstrated that the H2 generation performance of CdS/WO3 decreased slightly after 3 cycles. This work provides new ideas for the development of recyclable photocatalysts and has a positive significance for practical applications.

Research progress of defect-engineered UiO-66(Zr) MOFs for photocatalytic hydrogen production

Frontiers in Energy 2021, Volume 15, Issue 3,   Pages 656-666 doi: 10.1007/s11708-021-0765-9

Abstract: In recent years, defect-engineered Zr-based UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66(Zr) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)) have shown huge advantages in catalytic, functional materials, adsorption, and other fields due to their large surface areas, well-ordered porous structures, and flexible tailorability. It is extremely challenging to introduce defect sites in the synthesis of MOFs to regulate the physicochemical properties of materials such as (energy band structure, pore structure, etc.) to obtain an excellent performance. This paper reviews the recent research results of synthesis methods, characterization technologies, and application fields of defect-engineered UiO-66(Zr) MOFs materials in order to provide new insights to synthesize high-performance UiO-66(Zr) MOFs materials and promote the development of UiO-66(Zr) in various fields.
