摘要:

过氧化氢(H2O2)作为一种重要的绿色氧化剂和潜在清洁能源, 在环境修复、化工合成及能源转换等领域具有广泛应用. 目前, 工业上主要通过高能耗、高污染的蒽醌法生产H2O2, 因此开发绿色、可持续的H2O2合成路径迫在眉睫. 光催化技术以太阳能为驱动力, 以水和氧气为原料, 有望实现H2O2的低碳合成, 但其实际应用仍面临光生载流子复合严重、反应动力学缓慢及依赖牺牲剂等问题. 硫改性石墨相氮化碳(CNS)虽能拓宽可见光吸收范围, 但其价带氧化能力不足, 限制了水氧化路径的效率. 本研究通过构建氮空位调控的CNS/Zn2In2S5 S型异质结, 旨在实现光生电荷的高效分离与利用, 为开发无牺牲剂参与的高效H2O2光合成体系提供新策略.

本文创新性地将氮空位工程与S型异质结构建相结合. 通过调控硫脲煅烧时间制备了具有不同氮空位浓度的硫掺杂石墨相氮化碳(富空位Vr-CNS和贫空位Vp-CNS), 并进一步通过水热法在CNS表面原位生长Zn2In2S5(ZIS)纳米花, 形成紧密的界面异质结. 该设计利用硫掺杂拓宽光吸收范围, 氮空位作为电子陷阱促进电荷分离, 同时通过S型异质结的内建电场进一步促进光生电荷分离和实现强氧化还原能力的保留, 克服了单一改性方法的局限性. X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和电子顺磁共振(EPR)证实Vr-CNS中氮空位浓度显著高于Vp-CNS. 紫外-可见漫反射光谱表明, Vr-CNS/ZIS的吸收边红移至550 nm, 可见光捕获能力增强. 结果表明, 硫掺杂可以显著改变g-C3N4的电子结构, 导致带隙变窄和吸收边红移. 与单体Vr-CNS, Vp-CNS和ZIS相比, Vr-CNS/ZIS复合催化剂表现出电荷转移与分离效率显著提升, 光电流密度明显增加. 值得注意的是, Vr-CNS的H2O2生成速率(143.3 μmol g-1 h-1)显著高于g-C3N4 (94.6 μmol g-1 h-1)与Vp-CNS (100.3 μmol g-1 h-1). 自由基捕获实验和EPR检测表明, •O2是H2O2生成的关键活性物种. 氮空位将O2吸附能垒从0.95降至0.73 eV, 加速了反应决速步的进行. 结果表明, 缺陷工程(硫掺杂结合氮空位)可协同提升光催化生成H2O2的性能, 具体作用机制如下: 硫掺杂显著改变g-C3N4的电子结构, 导致其禁带宽度变窄, 吸收边发生红移; 氮空位不仅能促进电荷分离、降低电荷转移电阻, 还可通过以下途径加速表面反应: (1)提高界面电荷转移效率; (2)利用富电子的氮空位降低O2吸附能垒, 加速反应决速步. 光电化学测试、自由基捕获实验、原位XPS, EPR和密度泛函理论计算结果证实, 异质结界面存在由CNS指向ZIS的内建电场, 驱动ZIS的电子与CNS的空穴复合, 从而保留高能电子(CNS导带)和空穴(ZIS价带). 采用电化学分析方法阐明Vr-CNS与ZIS耦合调控生成H2O2过程中的动力学行为. Vr-CNS/ZIS的阴极线性扫描伏安曲线对应的塔菲尔斜率(5.8 mV dec-1)远低于Vr-CNS (24.2 mV dec-1)和纯ZIS (21.1 mV dec-1). 这证实了氮空位与S型异质结的协同作用在提高光催化生成H2O2效率方面发挥着关键作用. 最终, Vr-CNS/ZIS的H2O2生成速率得到显著提升, 达到475.6 μmol g-1 h-1, 约为原始g-C3N4的5倍.

综上, 本研究为设计“缺陷增强型S型异质结”提供了新策略, 该类异质结可实现高效电荷分离与高性能H2O2合成的协同整合. 该工作不仅推动了非牺牲剂体系下H2O2绿色合成的进展, 也为多相光催化剂中电荷分离与反应路径的精准调控提供了理论参考.

Abstract:

The green photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has attracted considerable attention as an environmentally friendly approach for H2O2 production. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, reliance on sacrificial agents, and low activity and selectivity of photocatalytic H2O2 remain major challenges for the further development of this process. In this study, we synthesized an S-scheme composite photocatalyst composed of N-vacancy-tailored, sulfur-modified graphitic carbon nitride (Vr-CNS) and Zn2In2S5 (ZIS) that enabled solar-driven H2O2 synthesis, achieving a rate of 475.6 μmol g-1 h-1 in pure water and air without sacrificial agents. This represents a five-fold enhancement over pristine graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). S-doping mainly altered the electronic structure of g-C3N4, resulting in bandgap narrowing and a redshift of the absorption edge. N vacancies (NV) not only promoted charge separation and reduced charge transfer resistance, but also accelerated surface reactions. Moreover, NV lowered the energy barrier due to O2 adsorption, which is the rate-determining step, thereby accelerating the reaction. The S-scheme Vr-CNS/ZIS heterojunction retained the strong reduction ability of Vr-CNS and robust oxidation capability of ZIS. The presence of NV strengthened the electronic coupling between Vr-CNS and ZIS after heterojunction contact. The synergistic effect of defect engineering (sulfur doping coupled with nitrogen vacancies) and the S-scheme accelerated the reaction kinetics, promoting the migration and separation of the photogenerated carriers. This study provides an effective strategy for the design of multifunctional photocatalysts by exploiting the synergy between defect engineering and S-scheme heterojunctions.
