| 1 | Composition-dependent micro-structure and photocatalytic performance of g-C_(3)N_(4) quantum dots@SnS2 heterojunction显示文摘Semiconductor combination is one of the most common strategies to obtain high-efficiency photocatalysts;however, the effect mechanism of composition ratio on micro-structure and photocatalytic activity is remaining unclear. In this study, a case of g-C_(3)N_(4) quantum dots@SnS_(2) (CNQDn@SnS_(2)) heterojunction with different ratio of CNQD is used to uncover the origin of optimum and excess composition for photocatalysts. Research on the functional mechanism of the optimum composition shows that 0.8 wt.% CNQD are completely attached to the non-(001) facets of SnS_(2), which benefits the formation of type-II heterojunction, resulting in an optimal pollutant degradation and mineralization efficiency. For the excess composition, both experiments and theoretical calculations confirm that excess CNQD (the part exceeding of 0.8 wt.%) located on the (001) facet of SnS_(2), leading to the type-I band alignment of this heterojunction, which severely restricts the separation of photo-induced charge carriers, and thus reduces their lifetime. This work makes the functional mechanism of composition ratio on micro-structure and photocatalytic activity clearer. Related research results provide a new insight into semiconductor combination study and take an important step toward the rational design of highly active photocatalysts. | Sheng-Qi Guo Haijun Zhang Zhenzhong Hu Mengmeng Zhen Bo Yang Boxiong Shen Fan Dong | 2021 | Nano Research2021,14,11: | 4 |
| 2 | Surface disorder engineering in ZnCdS for cocatalyst free visible light driven hydrogen production显示文摘Metal chalcogenide solid solution,especially ZnCdS,has been intensively investigated in photocatalytic H_(2) generation due to their cost-effective synthetic procedure and adjustable band structures.In this work,we report on the defect engineering of ZnCdS with surface disorder layer by simple room temperature Li-ethylenediamine(Li-EDA)treatment.Experimental results confirm the formation of unusual Zn and S dual vacancies,where rich S vacancies(Vs)served as electron trapping sites,meanwhile Zn vacancies(Vzn)served as hole trapping sites.The refined structure significantly facilitates the photo charge carrier transfer and improves photocatalytic properties of ZnCdS.The disordered ZnCdS shows a highest photocatalytic H_(2) production rate of 33.6 mmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1) under visible light with superior photocatalytic stabilities,which is 7.3 times higher than pristine ZnCdS and 7 times of Pt(1 wt.%)loaded ZnCdS. | Enna Ha Shuhong Ruan Danyang Li Yuanmin Zhu Yanping Chen Jiangyuan Qiu Zhaohui Chen Tingting Xu Jingyun Su Luyang Wang Junqing Hu | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,2: | 3 |
| 3 | Electrostatic self-assembly of 2D/2D CoWO_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4)p-n heterojunction for improved photocatalytic hydrogen evolution:Built-in electric field modulated charge separation and mechanism unveiling显示文摘Two-dimensional(2D)semiconductor heterojunctions are considered as an effective strategy to achieve fast separation of photoinduced carriers.Herein,a novel CoWO_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4)(CWO/CN)p–n junction was synthesized using an electrostatic selfassembly method.The constructed 2D/2D p–n heterostructure had a rich hetero-interface,increased charge density,and fast separation efficiency of photoinduced carriers.The in-situ Kelvin probe force microscopy confirmed that the separation pathway of photoinduced carriers through the interface obeyed an II-scheme charge transfer mechanism.Experimental results and density functional theory calculations indicated the differences of work function between CWO and CN induced the generation of built-in electric field,ensuring an efficient separation and transfer process of photoinduced carriers.Under the optimized conditions,the CWO/CN heterojunction displayed enhanced photocatalytic H_(2)generation activity under full spectrum and visible lights irradiation,respectively.Our study provides a novel approach to design 2D/2D hetero-structured photocatalysts based on p–n type semiconductor for photocatalytic H_(2)generation. | Haiyang Wang Ranran Niu Jianhui Liu Sheng Guo Yongpeng Yang Zhongyi Liu Jun Li | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,8: | 1 |
| 4 | A core-satellite structured type Ⅱ heterojunction photocatalyst with enhanced CO_(2) reduction under visible light显示文摘Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals is a sustainable and promising technology that alleviates the greenhouse effect and energy crisis.In this study,the Mn_(3)O_(4)/FeNbO_(4) type Ⅱ heterojunction photocatalyst with a core-satellite structure was synthesized by the facile soft chemical method.The formation of a nano-heterojunction is supposed to effectively improve light capture,charge transfer,and interfacial charge separation in the photochemical reaction.Meanwhile,the heterojunction has a good ability to capture and activate CO_(2).Our results show that the prepared Mn_(3)O_(4)/FeNbO_(4) photocatalyst exhibit obvious enhanced catalytic properties in the photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction reaction,where the CH_(4) yielding rate is 1.96 and 9.81 times those of FeNbO_(4) and Mn_(3)O_(4),respectively.The transient photovoltage test(TPV)shows that the low frequency electrons are crucial to the effective transfer of photogenerated electrons and holes in the Mn_(3)O_(4)/FeNbO_(4) nano heterojunctions.Analysis of in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)verifies the effective CO_(2) adsorption on the Mn_(3)O_(4)/FeNbO_(4) surface and the high selectivity of CH_(4) products.These properties of the Mn_(3)O_(4)/FeNbO_(4) photocatalyst infer its broad prospects in the fields of carbon fixation and energy conservation. | Yuanyuan Cheng Yixian Liu Yunliang Liu Yaxi Li Ruqiang Wu Yongchao Du Najmeh Askari Naiyun Liu Fen Qiao Chenghua Sun Zhenhui Kang Haitao Li | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,10: | 1 |
| 5 | The precursor compound of two types of ZnSe magic-sized clusters显示文摘Precursor compounds(PCs)link quantum dots(QDs)and magic-sized clusters(MSCs),which is pivotal in the conversion between QDs and MSCs.Here,for the first time,we report the transformation,synthesis,and composition of a type of ZnSe PCs.ZnSe PCs can be directly transformed to two different MSCs with the assistance of octylamine and acetic acid at room temperature.The two types of MSCs exhibit sharp absorption peaks at 299 and 328 nm which are denoted as MSC-299 and MSC-328.In the preparation of ZnSe PCs,diphenylphosphine(DPP)as an additive plays a key role which not only inhibits the thermal decomposition of Zn precursor,but also acts as a reducing agent to reduce the by-products produced in the reaction.The composition was explored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,energy dispersive spectrometer,matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectra with ZnSe PC powder appeared as white powder after purifying by toluene(Tol)and methanol(MeOH).The results indicate that the molar ratio of Zn/Se is 2:1 with a molecular of〜3,350 Da.Therefore,we propose that the molecular formula of ZnSe PCs is Zn_(32)Se_(16).In addition,at the molecular level,the covalent bond of Zn-Se is formed in ZnSe PCs.This study offers a deeper understanding of the transformation from PCs to MSCs and for the first time proposes the composition of PCs.Meanwhile,this research provides us with a new understanding of the role of DPP in the synthesis of colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles. | Xingxia Yang Meng Zhang Qiu Shen Yang Li Chaoran Luan Kui Yu | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,1: | 0 |
