摘要:

同时提升体相和表面电荷分离与利用效率对于实现高效光催化析氢反应至关重要。本研究采用溶剂蒸发策略,将NiCr2O4纳米片负载于孪晶Cd0.5Zn0.5S (T-CZS)纳米颗粒表面,成功制备了NiCr2O4/T-CZS复合材料。经过优化,6% NiCr2O4/T-CZS在以聚乳酸(PLA)塑料为牺牲剂的NaOH溶液中析氢速率(rH2)达到81.4 mmol∙h−1∙g−1,这一显著提升主要归因于T-CZS由纤锌矿Cd0.5Zn0.5S (WZ-CZS)和闪锌矿Cd0.5Zn0.5S (ZB-CZS)组成,二者能带结构存在微小差异,使得WZ-CZS与ZB-CZS之间及T-CZS与NiCr2O4之间形成了S型电荷转移路径,从而促进了体相和界面电荷快速分离,确保了具有强还原能力的电子参与析氢反应(HER)。此外,借助NiCr2O4的局域表面等离子体共振(LSPR)效应,增强了体系对紫外-可见-近红外光的吸收,产生的热电子进一步促进了HER。同时,NaOH溶液增强了空穴的氧化反应驱动力,间接提高了HER动力学。研究还发现,其它金属铬酸盐(MCrxOy),如CoCr2O4、AgCrO2、Bi6CrO12、BaCrO4、ZnCr2O4、CdCr2O4、CuCr2O4等,也能不同程度提高T-CZS析氢活性。上述研究结果表明,同质异质结中体相与界面S型电荷转移路径能够实现高效光催化产氢与废塑料降解过程的有效协同,为解决能源与环境挑战提供了新的思路。

Abstract:

The simultaneous enhancement of separation and utilization of bulk and surface charges is crucial for achieving efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution reactions. In this study, NiCr2O4/T-CZS composites were fabricated by incorporating NiCr2O4 nanosheets onto the surface of twinned Cd0.5Zn0.5S (T-CZS) nanoparticles using a solvent evaporation strategy. After optimization, the 6% NiCr2O4/T-CZS exhibited an impressive hydrogen (H2) evolution rate (rH2) of 81.4 mmol∙h−1∙g−1 when employing polylactic acid (PLA) plastic as a sacrificial agent in NaOH solution. The reason behind this can be mainly attributed to the fact that T-CZS consists of wurtzite Cd0.5Zn0.5S (WZ-CZS) and zinc blende Cd0.5Zn0.5S (ZB-CZS) with slight band structure differences, thereby facilitating rapid bulk phase and interface charge separation due to the S-scheme charge transfer routes between WZ-CZS and ZB-CZS, as well as T-CZS and NiCr2O4. Moreover, this system can effectively retain electrons with strong reducing ability for efficient H2 evolution reaction (HER) and generate hot electrons through the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of NiCr2O4, which enhances the absorption of UV-Vis-NIR light energy, thereby facilitating the HER process. What's more, NaOH solution can indirectly promote the HER kinetics by enhancing the oxidative driving force of holes. Additionally, other metal chromates (MCrxOy), such as CoCr2O4, AgCrO2, Bi6CrO12, BaCrO4, ZnCr2O4, CdCr2O4, CuCr2O4 etc., were employed to enhance the activity of T-CZS too. The results show that above homo-heterojunction composites can integrate waste plastic degradation and photocatalytic H2 evolution effectively based on their S-scheme bulk phase and interface charge separation mechanisms. This work provides new insights into energy and environmental challenges.
