Size-controlled and high-index faceted α-FeO nanocrystals with pseudocubic and rhombohedral morphologies were synthesized through the hydrothermal treatment of β-FeOOH at different pHs. The size effect on the photocatalytic oxygen evolution efficiency of high-index faceted α-FeO nanocrystals was investigated. Rhombohedral α-FeO (pH 6.0) exhibits an outstanding apparent quantum yield of 9.93% and an oxygen evolution efficiency of 20.3%, which can be attributed to the optimal size and high-indexed {104} planes. This work provides a new idea for the design of high activity water oxidation catalysts, through the size optimization of high-index faceted materials.
通过在不同pH值下对β-FeOOH进行水热处理,合成了具有假立方和菱面体形态的尺寸可控且具有高指数刻面的α-FeO纳米晶体。研究了尺寸对高指数刻面α-FeO纳米晶体光催化析氧效率的影响。菱面体α-FeO(pH 6.0)表现出9.93%的出色表观量子产率和20.3%的析氧效率,这可归因于其最佳尺寸和高指数{104}面。这项工作通过对高指数刻面材料进行尺寸优化,为设计高活性水氧化催化剂提供了新思路。
