主 题:Cu_(7)S_(4)nanosheet Cu^(2+) electronic structure regulation heterojunction photocactalytic hydrogen evolution
摘 要:TiO_(2)is a promising photocatalyst due to its high thermodynamic stability and ***,its applications have been still limited because of the high recombination rate of electron-hole ***,we show that by combining heterojunction construction and electronic structure regulation,the electron-hole pairs in TiO_(2)can be effectively separated for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen *** optimized Cu_(7)S_(4)nanosheet decorated TiO_(2)achieves much enhanced H_(2)evolution rate(11.5 mmol·g−1·h−1),which is 13.8 and 4.2 times of that of TiO_(2)and Cu_(7)S_(4)/TiO_(2),*** results of photoluminescence spectroscopy,transient photocurrent spectra,ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra,and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy collectively demonstrate that the enhanced photocatalytic performance of Air-Cu_(7)S_(4)/TiO_(2)is attributed to the effective separation of charge carriers and widened photoresponse *** electron paramagnetic resonance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that the increase of Cu2+in the Cu_(7)S_(4)nanosheet after calcination can promote the charge *** work provides an effective method to improve the electron migration rate and charge separation of TiO_(2),which holds great significance for being extended to other material systems and beyond.
