Exploiting high performance and noble-metal-free catalysts is of great interest in photocatalytic water splitting. In this study, Co3N nanoparticles were successfully decorated on Cd0.5Zn0.5S as highly efficient co-catalysts via a facile method. The Co3N(2 wt%)/Cd0.5Zn0.5S composite sample showed the highest photocatalytic H2 evolution activity. A corresponding H2 evolution rate of 160.7 mmol h-1 g-1 was achieved in 0.35 M Na2S/0.25 M Na2SO3, which was about 25 times higher than that of a pure Cd0.5Zn0.5S sample. The H2 production rate of Co3N(2 wt%)/Cd0.5Zn0.5S reached 218.8 mmol h-1 g-1 in 1.05 M Na2S/0.75 M Na2SO3 under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm) and the apparent quantum yield (AQY) was 30.2% at 420 nm.
在光催化水分解中,开发高性能和无贵金属的催化剂是非常有意义的。在这项研究中,通过一种简便的方法,成功地将 Co3N 纳米粒子修饰在 Cd0.5Zn0.5S 上,作为高效的共催化剂。Co3N(2 wt%)/Cd0.5Zn0.5S 复合样品表现出最高的光催化 H2 析出活性。在 0.35 M Na2S/0.25 M Na2SO3 中,实现了相应的 H2 析出速率为 160.7 mmol h-1 g-1,是纯 Cd0.5Zn0.5S 样品的 25 倍左右。在可见光照射下(λ > 420nm),Co3N(2 wt%)/Cd0.5Zn0.5S 的 H2 生成速率达到 218.8 mmol h-1 g-1,在 420nm 时的表观量子效率(AQY)为 30.2%。
