Abstract

Abstract:

Developing highly efficient photocatalysts with a full-spectrum response for hydrogen production is of great significance. To achieve full-spectrum solar-light-driven photocatalysis, W₁₈O₄₉ works well for capturing visible and near-infrared (NIR) light due to the localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) effect. Nevertheless, W₁₈O₄₉ has very little photocatalytic hydrogen generation activity, which needs to be modified. In this work, a simple in situ solvothermal synthesis method was conducted to prepare Al-doped SrTiO₃ (ASTO)/W₁₈O₄₉ S-scheme heterojunction. Benefiting from more powerful carrier separation, faster electron transport, and strong redox capacity, the 10% ASTO/W₁₈O₄₉ S-scheme heterojunction exhibits the highest full-spectrum solar-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen rate, which is 17.5 and 27.6 times that of pure ASTO and W₁₈O₄₉, respectively. The LSPR effect derived from W₁₈O₄₉ with abundant oxygen vacancies extends the range of light absorption to the NIR region, which significantly improves its utilization efficiency of full-spectrum sunlight. Moreover, due to the LSPR effect of W₁₈O₄₉, it could produce plasmonic high-energy "hot electrons" and allow them to transfer to the conduction band (CB) of ASTO in the ASTO/W₁₈O₄₉ heterojunction, which could promote the separation and migration of photoinduced carriers and greatly increase the number of electrons containing photogenerated electrons and "hot electrons" on the CB of ASTO that can participate in photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction, exhibiting excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance compared to single-component W₁₈O₄₉ and ASTO.

Key words: S-scheme heterojunction, Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, LSPR effect, W₁₈O₄₉, Al-doped SrTiO₃
