The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activities of low-cost and noble-metal-free Cu2 XSnS4 (X=Zn, Ni, Fe, Co, and Mn) nanofiber catalysts have been investigated using triethanolamine as an electron donor and eosin Y as a photosensitizer under visible-light irradiation. The rates of hydrogen evolution by Cu2 XSnS4 (X=Zn, Ni, Fe, Co, and Mn) nanofibers have been compared with each other and with that of the noble metal Pt. The hydrogen evolution rates for the nanofibers change in the order Cu2 NiSnS4 >Cu2 FeSnS4 >Cu2 CoSnS4 >Cu2 ZnSnS4 >Cu2 MnSnS4 (2028, 1870, 1926, 1420, and 389 μmol g(-1) h(-1) , respectively). The differences between the hydrogen evolution rates of the nanofibers could be attributed to their energy levels. Moreover, Cu2 NiSnS4, Cu2 FeSnS4 , and Cu2 CoSnS4 nanofibers show higher and more stable photocatalytic hydrogen production rates than that of the noble metal Pt under long-term irradiation with visible light.
在可见光照射下，以三乙醇胺作为电子供体、曙红Y作为光敏剂，研究了低成本且不含贵金属的Cu2XSnS4（X = Zn、Ni、Fe、Co和Mn）纳米纤维催化剂的光催化析氢活性。比较了Cu2XSnS4（X = Zn、Ni、Fe、Co和Mn）纳米纤维之间以及与贵金属Pt的析氢速率。纳米纤维的析氢速率顺序为Cu2NiSnS4>Cu2FeSnS4>Cu2CoSnS4>Cu2ZnSnS4>Cu2MnSnS4（分别为2028、1870、1926、1420和389 μmol g(-1) h(-1)）。纳米纤维析氢速率的差异可能归因于它们的能级。此外，在可见光长期照射下，Cu2NiSnS4、Cu2FeSnS4和Cu2CoSnS4纳米纤维显示出比贵金属Pt更高且更稳定的光催化产氢速率。
