Source abstract
Abstract
二维层状材料由于其超薄的厚度和大量的暴露反应位点, 在光催化领域显示出诱人的前景, 且其对光生载流子转移的有效调节更有利于进一步提高催化性能. 在此, 我们通过简单的静电自组装工艺合成了直接Z型2D/2D异质结, ZnIn2S4/Ti-BPDC. 超薄层状形貌使催化剂具有更多的暴露活性位点和较短的电荷转移距离. 两种半导体间较大的接触界面和紧密相互作用保障了平滑的相间电子传输通道. 交错且匹配的能带结构为构造内部电场和能带弯曲以实现Z型电荷转移提供了基础. 得益于上述各方面的协同作用, ZnIn2S4/Ti-BPDC异质结显示出显著增强的界面光生载流子转移效率和光催化析氢性能. 此外, 该2D/2D ZnIn2S4/Ti-BPDC异质结具有优异的稳定性和可回收性, 在可持续能源转换领域表现出一定的应用潜能.
