Photoelectrochemical Biosensor Based on Co3O4 Nanoenzyme Coupled with PbS Quantum Dots for Hydrogen Peroxide Detection
摘要： A novel kind of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was constructed based on Co3O4 and PbS nanomaterials modified indium tin oxide (ITO) photoelectrode. The Co3O4 nanoparticles, as mimic enzyme of catalase (CAT), can catalyze H2O2 to generate oxygen (O2) in suit. Then the electron acceptor of O2 enhances the cathodic photocurrent of the photoelectrode. The PEC sensor exhibited high sensitivity because of the formation of p-p type heterostructure between PbS and Co3O4 semiconductors. The photocurrent enhancement can be used to detect concentration of H2O2. The calibration plot was linear in the range from 5 to 250 μM and the detection limit was estimated to be 1.2 μM. The results demonstrated the possibility of nanozyme application in PEC biosensors and the substitution of Co3O4 nanozyme for the natural enzyme.

Molybdenum Disulfide Catalytic Coatings via Atomic Layer Deposition for Solar Hydrogen Production from Copper Gallium Diselenide Photocathodes
摘要： We demonstrate that applying atomic layer deposition-derived molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) catalytic coatings on copper gallium diselenide (CGSe) thin film absorbers can lead to efficient wide band gap photocathodes for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. We have prepared a device that is free of precious metals, employing a CGSe absorber and a cadmium sulfide (CdS) buffer layer, a titanium dioxide (TiO2) interfacial layer, and a MoS2 catalytic layer. The resulting MoS2/TiO2/CdS/CGSe photocathode exhibits a photocurrent onset of +0.53 V vs RHE and a saturation photocurrent density of ?10 mA cm?2, with stable operation for >5 h in acidic electrolyte. Spectroscopic investigations of this device architecture indicate that overlayer degradation occurs inhomogeneously, ultimately exposing the underlying CGSe absorber.

Control of Excited-State Supramolecular Assembly Leading to Halide Photorelease
摘要： Ground- and excited-state control of halide supramolecular assembly was achieved through the preparation of a series of ester- and amide-functionalized ruthenium polypyridyl complexes in CH2Cl2. Hydrogen-bonding amide and alcohol groups on the receptor ligand were found to direct interactions with halide, while halide association with the ethyl ester groups was not observed. The various functional groups on the receptor ligands tuned the ground-state equilibrium constants over 2 orders of magnitude (1 × 10^5 to 1 × 10^7 M^?1), and the fractional contribution of each hydrogen-bond donor to the total equilibrium constant was determined. Pulsed-laser excitation of the complexes resulted in excited-state localization on the ester- or amide-functionalized ligands. In the case where the excited state was oriented toward an associated halide ion (the amide complexes), an 80 ± 10 meV Coulombic repulsion was induced that lowered the excited-state equilibrium constant (K*_eq) and resulted in halide photorelease. The rate constants for excited-state halide release (k*_21) were determined, and the values varied based on the functional groups present in the receptor ligand. Complexes with more hydrogen-bonding donors had smaller rate constants for halide photorelease. In a complex without a specific receptor ligand, the excited-state dipole was not oriented toward the associated halide, and the excited state was therefore found to have a larger equilibrium constant for halide association than the ground state.

Colloidally synthesized defect-rich $$\hbox {MoSe}_{2}$$ MoSe 2 nanosheets for superior catalytic activity
摘要： Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets (NSs) with defect-rich and vertically aligned edges are highly advantageous for various catalytic applications. However, colloidal synthesis of defect-rich NSs with thickness variation has been a challenging task. Here, we report a colloidal synthesis of 2H-MoSe2 NSs having a large number of defects and vertically aligned edges, where the thickness is varied by changing the amount of coordinating solvent. The Se-vacancies in these NSs have introduced defect sites which are corroborated by the presence of additional vibration modes in Raman spectra. These NSs exhibit electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction performances with a low overpotential (210–225 mV) at 10 mA cm?2 current density and a small Tafel slope (54–68 mV per decade). Moreover, these MoSe2 NSs are also employed as counter electrodes (CEs) for the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells via a cost-effective and simplified procedure. The power conversion efficiencies of 7.02 ± 0.18%, comparable with Pt CE (7.84 ± 0.10%) could be routinely achieved. These results demonstrate a novel synthetic strategy to prepare layered TMDs with superior catalytic applications.

Solar water splitting over Rh <sub/>0.5</sub> Cr <sub/>1.5</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> -loaded AgTaO <sub/>3</sub> of a valence-band-controlled metal oxide photocatalyst
摘要： Improvement of water splitting performance of AgTaO3 (BG 3.4 eV) of a valence-band-controlled photocatalyst was examined. Survey of cocatalysts revealed that a Rh0.5Cr1.5O3 cocatalyst was much more effective than Cr2O3, RuO2, NiO and Pt for water splitting into H2 and O2 in a stoichiometric amount. The optimum loading amount of the Rh0.5Cr1.5O3 cocatalyst was 0.2 wt%. The apparent quantum yield (AQY) at 340 nm of the optimized Rh0.5Cr1.5O3(0.2 wt%)/AgTaO3 photocatalyst reached to about 40%. Rh0.5Cr1.5O3(0.2 wt%)/AgTaO3 gave a solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency (STH) of 0.13% for photocatalytic water splitting under simulated sunlight irradiation. Bubbles of gasses evolved by the solar water splitting were visually observed under atmospheric pressure at room temperature.

A novel photocatalyst, Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li/Pt-NaNbxTa1?xO3, for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible-light irradiation
摘要： In this work, Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li, as an excellent up-conversion luminescence agent from visible-light to ultraviolet-light, is synthesized by using sol-gel method. And then, a series of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li/NaNbxTa1?xO3 (x = 0.00, 0.25 and 0.50) with different amounts of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li are prepared by using hydrothermal method. The prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The activities of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li/Pt-NaNbxTa1?xO3 are investigated through photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in 10 vol% methanol solution under visible-light irradiation. The influences of Nb content in NaNbxTa1?xO3, mass ratio of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li and NaNb0.5Ta0.5O3, visible-light irradiation time and reuse-times are examined on the visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The experimental results showed that the prepared Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li/Pt-NaNb0.5Ta0.5O3 with 0.4:1.0 mass ratio of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li and NaNb0.5Ta0.5O3 and 0.25 wt% Pt loading displayed a highest evolved hydrogen activity under visible-light irradiation. This study may provide some significant references for large scale photocatalytic hydrogen evolution utilizing solar energy.

Poly(1,4-di(2-thienyl))benzene Facilitating Complete Light-Driven Water Splitting under Visible Light at High pH
摘要： The recent discovery that metal-free polyterthiophene (PTTh) prepared by iodine-vapor-assisted polymerization (IVP) can catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) when illuminated, and this light-enhanced electrolysis expresses a non-Nernstian relation with pH, provides the foundation for further improvement of the photovoltage of the reaction by engineering the band structure of the light-absorbing polymer. Deviating from an all-thiophene backbone, using poly(1,4-di(2-thienyl))benzene (PDTB) lowers the highest occupied molecular orbital level by ≈0.3 eV compared with polythiophene, and PDTB simultaneously maintains the photoelectrocatalytic properties without an all-thiophene backbone, resulting in very high conversion rate of 600 mmol(H2) h?1 g?1 at 0 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) at pH 11. PDTB shows the same non-Nernstian behavior as PTTh with increasing onset potential (versus RHE) at higher pH, and the open circuit potential on PDTB under visible light reaches 1.4 V versus RHE at pH 12. The PDTB photocathode thus produces a photovoltage above the theoretical potential for the complete water-splitting (1.229 V) and is indeed able to produce hydrogen in a one-photon-per-electron light-driven water splitting setup with MnOx as the anode at a rate of 6.4 mmol h?1 gPDTB?1.

Effects of alcohol addition on decay of sonoluminescence intensity
摘要： The observation of multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL) during acoustic cavitational bubble collapse is known to be an appropriate approach to obtain physicochemical information about high-temperature and high-pressure sites generated under sonication. MBSL spectra observed when ultrasound is irradiated to Ar-saturated water can be classified into two categories; a continuum spectrum fraction over a wide range of wavelengths, and a clear peak located at around 310 nm, which is assignable to OH. So far, temporal changes in MBSL spectra have been reported in the presence of alcohols, which scavenge radicals generated in the sonochemical reaction [1]. The spectral changes are presumed to be due to gaseous products generated by the ultrasound decomposition of alcohols. The present study was carried out to investigate the correlation between spectral changes and the products of the sonochemical reaction including hydrogen peroxide and gaseous products from alcohols.

Synergistic effect of g-C3N4, Ni(OH)2 and halloysite in nanocomposite photocatalyst on efficient photocatalytic hydrogen generation
摘要： Here, we develop a strategy to improve the visible-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of g-C3N4 by compositing it with low-cost Ni(OH)2 nanoplatelets and inexpensive and earth-abundant halloysite nanotubes. The Ni(OH)2@g-C3N4/halloysite nanocomposite photocatalyst with different amounts of Ni(OH)2 (0.5–10 wt%) were prepared, and a synergistic effect of Ni(OH)2 platelets and halloysite nanotubes on physicochemical properties and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of g-C3N4 was investigated. As expected, the Ni(OH)2@g-C3N4/halloysite nanocomposite photocatalyst prepared with 1 wt% Ni(OH)2 exhibited the highest photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (18.42 μmol·h–1) which is much higher than that of g-C3N4 (0.43 μmol·h–1) and Ni(OH)2@g-C3N4 (9.12 μmol·h–1). Such enhancement in photocatalytic activity of Ni(OH)2@g-C3N4/halloysite nanocomposite photocatalyst is attributed to efficient transfer of photogenerated electrons from the g-C3N4 to Ni(OH)2 cocatalyst interface and trapping of photogenerated holes on the negatively charged surfaces of halloysite nanotubes. In addition, adsorption affinity of the water and methanol molecules was modeled using different surfaces of Ni(OH)2, halloysite-7?, and g-C3N4 and it is found that combining the g-C3N4 with halloysite-7? and Ni(OH)2 can significantly improve the adsorption of water and methanol molecules on the surface of the developed nanocomposite. This study offers a simple approach for developing an efficient and inexpensive nanocomposite for effective and applied photocatalytic water splitting methodology for hydrogen production and other possible optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications.

Efficient visible light-driven hydrogen generation on g-C3N4 coupled with iron phosphide
摘要： Transition metal phosphides as promising noble-metal-free cocatalysts are gaining increasing interest for hydrogen generation and other energy conversion reactions. Herein, the present study reports a new Fe2P/g-C3N4 hybrid for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen generation by water splitting under visible light irradiation, whose H2 production rate is ~15 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4, and is comparable with that of Pt/g-C3N4 at the same condition. According to the detailed analyses of UV-vis diffuse reflectance, photoluminescence spectra, and photoelectrochemical measurements, the reason for the high efficiency of Fe2P/g-C3N4 hybrid is due to highly effective separation and low recombination rate of photo-generated electrons and holes rather than absorption light. The present study shows a promising photocatalyst with non-toxicity, low cost, and natural abundance for improving photocatalytic H2 generation.
