研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance of MAPbI3 by employing MoS2 nanosheets as a cocatalyst under visible light irradiation.
研究成果
The photocatalytic H2 evolution performance of MAPbI3 photocatalyst is greatly enhanced by employing MoS2 nanosheets as a cocatalyst under visible light irradiation. The composite exhibits high stability and efficiency, outperforming Pt as a cocatalyst. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using 2D MoS2 nanosheets as an efficient cocatalyst to enhance the photocatalytic HER performance of MAPbI3.
研究不足
The study does not address the scalability of the photocatalyst for industrial applications. The long-term stability beyond 156 h was not tested.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the coupling of few-layer MoS2 nanosheets with MAPbI3 in MAPbI3-saturated aqueous HI solution to form a composite photocatalyst. The photocatalytic H2 evolution performances were evaluated under visible light irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The powders of few-layer MoS2 nanosheets were prepared by direct liquid exfoliation of bulk MoS2 crystals in methanol under ultrasonication followed by high-speed centrifugation and freeze-drying.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study used X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), TEM, HRTEM, HAADF-STEM, EDX elemental maps, XPS, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis-DRS), Raman analysis, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The MAPbI3/MoS2 NSs composites were prepared by a simple solution-based in situ coupling method in MAPbI3-saturated aqueous HI solution and was directly used for subsequent photocatalytic H2 evolution under visible light irradiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photocatalytic H2 evolution performances were evaluated by measuring the rate of H2 evolution. The structural and chemical states of the composites were analyzed using XRD, AFM, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, HAADF-STEM, EDX elemental maps, XPS, UV-vis-DRS, and Raman analysis.
