Using full solar spectrum for energy conversion and environmental remediation is a major challenge, and solar-driven photothermal chemistry is a promising route to achieve this goal. Herein, this work reports a photothermal nano-constrained reactor based on hollow structured g-C N @ZnIn S core-shell S-scheme heterojunction, where the synergistic effect of super-photothermal effect and S-scheme heterostructure significantly improve the photocatalytic performance of g-C N . The formation mechanism of g-C N @ZnIn S is predicted in advance by theoretical calculations and advanced techniques, and the super-photothermal effect of g-C N @ZnIn S and its contribution to the near-field chemical reaction is confirmed by numerical simulations and infrared thermography. Consequently, the photocatalytic degradation rate of g-C N @ZnIn S for tetracycline hydrochloride is 99.3%, and the photocatalytic hydrogen production is up to 4075.65 µmol h g , which are 6.94 and 30.87 times those of pure g-C N , respectively. The combination of S-scheme heterojunction and thermal synergism provides a promising insight for the design of an efficient photocatalytic reaction platform.
利用全太阳光谱进行能量转换和环境修复是一个重大挑战,而太阳能驱动的光热化学是实现这一目标的一种很有前途的途径。在此,本工作报道了一种基于中空结构 g-C3N4@ZnIn2S 核壳 S 型异质结的光热纳米受限反应器,其中超光热效应和 S 型异质结构的协同作用显著提高了 g-C3N4的光催化性能。通过理论计算和先进技术预先预测了 g-C3N4@ZnIn2S 的形成机制,并通过数值模拟和红外热成像证实了 g-C3N4@ZnIn2S 的超光热效应及其对近场化学反应的贡献。因此,g-C3N4@ZnIn2S 对盐酸四环素的光催化降解速率达到 99.3%,光催化制氢量高达 4075.65µmol h g-1,分别是纯 g-C3N4的 6.94 倍和 30.87 倍。S 型异质结和热协同作用的结合为设计高效光催化反应平台提供了有前景的思路。
