Hollow heterostructure CoS/CdS photocatalysts with enhanced charge transfer for photocatalytic hydrogen production from seawater
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy(2022)
Abstract
In recent years, there have been many studies on photocatalytic water splitting, but there are still few high-efficiency photocatalysts for photocatalytic seawater splitting. In this study, a series of hollow Co sulphide-supported CdS catalyst (H–CoS/CdS) composite photocatalysts were prepared by loading CdS onto the surface of H–CoS, which can be used for efficient H2 production in pure water and simulated seawater. The heterojunction H–CoS/CdS exhibited H2 production of 572.4 μmol g−1 (4 h) from simulated seawater, which is 97.7 and 2.96 times those of H–CoS and CdS, respectively. The h-CoS cocatalyst extended the light absorption range of CdS, improved the chemical stability, and significantly enhances the charge separation efficiency. This study provides guidance for the reasonable design of a photocatalytic seawater-based H2 production catalyst with high efficiency and low cost.
