研究目的
To investigate the performance of La5Ti2CuxAg1-xS5O7-based photocatalysts for Z-scheme overall water splitting in a powder suspension system, specifically identifying La5Ti2AgS5O7 as the most effective and understanding the differences in optimization strategies compared to particulate sheet systems.
研究成果
La5Ti2AgS5O7, when co-loaded with Pt and NiS cocatalysts, exhibits the highest Z-scheme water splitting performance in powder suspension systems, achieving an AQY of 0.12% at 420 nm. This contrasts with particulate sheet systems where p-type doping and solid solutions enhance activity, highlighting the need for system-specific optimization strategies.
研究不足
The apparent quantum yield is relatively low (0.12% at 420 nm), and deactivation occurs over time, possibly due to photocorrosion. The optimization strategies effective in particulate sheet systems are not applicable to powder suspension systems, limiting generalizability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing La5Ti2CuxAg1-xS5O7 (x=0-1) photocatalysts via solid-state reaction, characterizing them using XRD, DRS, SEM, HR-TEM, XPS, XANES, and EXAFS, and evaluating their photocatalytic H2 evolution and Z-scheme water splitting activities under visible light irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included LTA, LTC, LTCA, and Ga-LTCA, prepared and characterized as described. Data were acquired from photocatalytic reactions in aqueous solutions.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a 300 W Xe lamp with a cut-off filter (λ > 420 nm), XRD, DRS, SEM, HR-TEM, XPS, XANES, and EXAFS instruments. Materials included Na2S, Na2SO3, NaI, Pt, NiS, and WO
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Cocatalysts (Pt, NiS) were loaded via impregnation and in-situ precipitation methods. Photocatalytic H2 evolution was tested in solutions with sacrificial reagents, and Z-scheme water splitting was conducted with PtOx-WO3 as OEP and I3?/I? redox mediator.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Activities were measured as H2 and O2 evolution rates, and AQY was calculated. Characterization data were analyzed to understand material properties and cocatalyst effects.
