Synergetic effect of MoS 2 and g-C 3 N 4 as cocatalysts for enhanced photocatalytic H 2 production activity of TiO 2
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we report a new g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 /TiO 2 composite material as a high-performance photocatalyst for H 2 evolution. Without a noble-metal cocatalyst, the g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 /TiO 2 composite reaches a high H 2 production rate of 125 μmol h −1 when the content of the g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 cocatalyst is 1.0 wt.% and the content of g-C 3 N 4 in this cocatalyst is 10 wt.%. This unusual photocatalytic activity is attributed to the positive synergetic effect between the MoS 2 and g-C 3 N 4 components in this cocatalyst, which serve as an electron collector and a source of active adsorption sites, respectively.
