Strongly coupled Nafion molecules and ordered porous CdS networks are fabricated for visible-light photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen evolution. The Nafion layer coating shifts the band position of CdS upward and accelerates charge transfer in the photoelectrode/electrolyte interface. It is highly expected that the strong coupling effect between organic and inorganic materials will provide new routes to advance PEC water splitting.
强耦合的 Nafion 分子和有序多孔 CdS 网络被用于可见光光电化学(PEC)析氢。Nafion 层的涂覆使 CdS 的能带位置向上移动,并加速光电极/电解质界面的电荷转移。人们高度期望有机和无机材料之间的强耦合效应对推进 PEC 水分解提供新途径。
