The core-shell CeO:Er,Yb@WO heterojunction is successfully synthesized via the facile solvothermal method. The octahedral CeO:Er,Yb nanocrystal's core exhibits green (H, S → I), red (F → I) and NIR (I → I and I → I) emission under 980 nm laser diode excitation, and the multiband emissions are absorbed by the WO nanowire's shell, re-exciting its higher energy localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR). With the excitation of 980 nm, the photocatalytic property of CeO:Er,Yb@WO for hydrogen (H) evolution from ammonia borane (BHNH), a three-fold increase compared to WO, is researched. The application of natural sunlight for the production of H is studied, and an obvious H production enhancement compared to the use of WO (two-fold) is also observed. This remarkable enhancement in the catalytic activity of CeO:Er,Yb@WO heterostructures is ascribed to the re-excitation of LSPR by multiband emissions of CeO:Er,Yb.
通过简便的溶剂热法成功合成了核壳结构的CeO:Er,Yb@WO异质结。八面体CeO:Er,Yb纳米晶体的核在980 nm激光二极管激发下呈现绿色(H,S→I)、红色(F→I)和近红外(I→I和I→I)发射,且多波段发射被WO纳米线的壳层吸收,从而重新激发其更高能量的局域表面等离子体共振(LSPR)。在980 nm激发下,研究了CeO:Er,Yb@WO对氨硼烷(BHNH)产氢(H)的光催化性能,与WO相比提高了三倍。研究了利用自然阳光产氢的情况,与使用WO相比(提高了两倍),也观察到明显的产氢增强。CeO:Er,Yb@WO异质结构催化活性的显著增强归因于CeO:Er,Yb的多波段发射对LSPR的重新激发。
