It is facing a tremendous challenge to develop the desirable hybrids for photocatalytic H generation by integrating the advantages of a single semiconductor. Herein, an all-sulfide ZnIn S /CdS/PdS heterojunction is constructed for the first time, where CdS and PdS nanoparticles anchor in the spaces of ZnIn S micro-flowers due to the confinement effects. The morphology engineering can guarantee rapid charge transfer owing to the short carrier migration distances and the luxuriant reactive sites provided by ZnIn S . The S-scheme mechanism between ZnIn S and CdS assisted by PdS cocatalyst is testified by in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), where the electrons and holes move in reverse driven by work function difference and built-in electric field at the interfaces. The optimal ZnIn S /CdS/PdS performs a glaring photocatalytic activity of 191.9 µmol h (10 mg of catalyst), and the largest AQE (apparent quantum efficiency) can reach a high value of 26.26%. This work may afford progressive tactics to design multifunctional photocatalysts.
通过整合单个半导体的优势来开发理想的光催化 H2 产生混合体面临着巨大的挑战。在此,首次构建了全硫化物 ZnInS/CdS/PdS 异质结,由于限制效应,CdS 和 PdS 纳米颗粒锚定在 ZnInS 微流花的空间中。形态工程可以保证由于载流子迁移距离短和 ZnInS 提供的丰富反应位点而快速电荷转移。通过原位辐照 X 射线光电子能谱和电子顺磁共振(EPR)证实了 ZnInS 和 CdS 之间的 S 型机制,其中电子和空穴在界面处的功函数差和内置电场的驱动下反向移动。最佳的 ZnInS/CdS/PdS 表现出耀眼的光催化活性,为 191.9 µmol h(10 mg 催化剂),最大 AQE(表观量子效率)可达到 26.26%的高值。这项工作可能为设计多功能光催化剂提供了渐进的策略。
