研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity through the construction of NiSe/TiO2 heterojunctions.
研究成果
The NiSe/TiO2 heterojunction significantly enhances photocatalytic H2 production activity compared to bare TiO2, with the 10%NiSe/TiO2 heterojunction showing 11 times higher activity. The improved performance is attributed to the effective separation and transfer of photo-excited electron-hole pairs facilitated by the heterojunction and the photo-reduction of partial Ni2t to Ni0.
研究不足
The study focuses on the enhancement of photocatalytic activity through heterojunction construction but does not extensively explore the scalability or long-term stability of the NiSe/TiO2 system under practical conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
A facile one-step solvothermal method was used to construct NiSe/TiO2 heterojunctions. The methodology included the synthesis of NiSe and NiSe/TiO2 heterojunctions with different NiSe loading amounts.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Commercial Degussa P25 was used as the source of TiO2. Nickel sulfate hexahydrate and sodium selenite were used as precursors for NiSe synthesis.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns were determined using a Bruker D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDX) were recorded on a FEI Tecnai G2 F20 instrument. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra were acquired using an ESCALAB 250 photoelectron spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
NiSe was prepared via a solvothermal method. NiSe/TiO2 heterojunctions were synthesized by adding TiO2 powder to the solvothermal reaction. Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution tests were performed under UV-vis light irradiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods
The amount of evolved H2 was analyzed by an online gas chromatograph. Apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) was measured under irradiation of monochromatic light.
