UV-VIS-NIR-induced extraordinary H2 evolution over W18O49/Cd0.5Zn0.5S: Surface plasmon effect coupled with S-scheme charge transfer

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(20)63783-4

Abstract

Abstract:

In this work, a novel plasmon-assisted UV-vis-NIR-driven W₁₈O₄₉/Cd_0.5Zn_0.5S heterostructure photocatalyst was obtained by a facile ultrasonic-assisted electrostatic self-assembly strategy. The hybrid exhibits extraordinary H₂ evolution activity of 147.7 mmol∙g ^-1∙h ^-1 at room temperature due to the efficient charge separation and expanded light absorption. Our investigation shows that the unique Step-scheme (S-scheme) charge transfer and the ‘hot electron’ injection are both responsible for the extraordinary H₂ evolution process, depending on the wavelength of the incident light. Moreover, by accelerating the surface reaction kinetics, the activity can be further elevated to 306.1 mmol∙g ^-1∙h ^-1, accompanied by a high apparent quantum yield of 45.3% at 365 ± 7.5 nm. This work provides us a potential strategy for the highly efficient conversion of the solar energy by elaborately combining a nonstoichiometric ratio plasmonic material with an appropriate active photocatalyst.

Key words: S-scheme, Hydrogen, Plasmonic material, W₁₈O₄₉, Cd_0.5Zn_0.5S
