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.

Dual Function of Graphene Oxide for Assisted Exfoliation of Black Phosphorus and Electron Shuttle in Promoting Visible and Near-Infrared Photocatalytic H2 Evolution
摘要： The search for suitable photocatalysts with broadband absorption in visible and near-infrared (NIR) region is recognized as one of the most challenging issues on solar energy utilization. Black phosphorous (BP) is demonstrated as an effective visible and NIR activated material in solar energy conversion. However, traditional liquid exfoliation yield is low and the rigid structure and insoluble properties of pristine BP hinder its high-yield of hybridization. Herein, a new and stable noble-metal-free ternary photocatalyst molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-BP/graphene oxide (GO) was constructed for splitting water to H2, showing dual functions of GO in synthetic and photocatalytic processes. Under visible-NIR light irradiation, the H2 evolution rates of MoS2-BP/GO was enhanced to 3.47 μmol h-1. Rapid electron injection efficiency from excited BP to GO and to MoS2 was confirmed by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. This study provides new insight into the design of nanomaterials, and offers a noble-metal-free protocol with noble-metal-free.

Carbon Nanotube-Supported Cu <sub/>3</sub> P as High-Efficiency and Low-Cost Cocatalysts for Exceptional Semiconductor-Free Photocatalytic H <sub/>2</sub> Evolution
摘要： Developing an inexpensive and high-efficiency hydrogen-production cocatalyst to replace the noble metal Pt remains a big challenge in the fields of sustainable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Herein, we report the exploration of a high-efficient binary noble metal free Cu3P-CNT H2-evolution cocatalyst by direct high-temperature phosphatizing of Cu(OH)2-CNT. Impressively, combining the advantages of noble metal free Cu3P and carbon nanotube (CNT), the binary Cu3P-CNT cocatalysts show high-efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution in Eosin Y(EY)-contained semiconductor-free photocatalytic systems. The maximum visible-light H2-generation rate for promising EY-Cu3P-CNT systems was 17.22 mmolg-1h-1. The highest apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) could reach 10.23% at 500 nm. More importantly, we found that the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes in the Eosin Y, the efficiency of electron transfer from EY to the active edge sites of Cu3P, and the electrocatalytic H2-evolution activity of Cu3P, could be simultaneously boosted via readily adding the conductive CNT, thus achieving the significantly improved photocatalytic H2 evolution. This work provides a simple and facile strategy to design highly efficient semiconductor-free photocatalytic proton-reduction systems using high-activity transition metal phosphides (TMPs) and inexpensive carbon nanomaterials.

Ni doped noble-metal-free CdZnNiS photocatalyst for high-efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reduction by visible light driving
摘要： In this paper, we report a method that the transition element nickel is doped into the interstitial position of CdZnS (CZS) nanoparticles for their photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity boosting. It is demonstrated that CdZnNiS nanocrystalline materials (with 0.5 wt% of Ni) could achieve the highest photocatalytic H2-evolution activity of 25.4 mmol·g?1·h?1 in sulfide and sulfite solution under visible light which value is 1.16 times higher than that of Pt modified CdZnS particles (with 3 wt% of Pt). This work evidences the possibility of substitution of noble metal cocatalyst by adding a suitable inexpensive Ni to achieve high-efficient visible light driven water splitting hydrogen production.

Alternative electrodes for HTMs and noble-metal-free perovskite solar cells: 2D MXenes electrodes
摘要： The high cost of hole transporting materials (HTMs) and noble metal electrodes limits the application of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Carbon materials have been commonly utilized for HTMs and noble-metal-free PSCs. In this paper, a more conductive 2D MXene material (Ti3C2), showing a similar energy level to carbon materials, has been used as a back electrode in HTMs and noble-metal-free PSCs for the ?rst time. Seamless interfacial contact between the perovskite layer and Ti3C2 material was obtained using a simple hot-pressing method. After the adjustment of key parameters, the PSCs based on the Ti3C2 electrode show more stability and higher power conversion e?ciencies (PCE) (13.83%, 27% higher than that (10.87%) of the PSCs based on carbon electrodes) due to the higher conductivity and seamless interfacial contact of the MXene electrode. Our work proposes a promising future application for MXene and also a good electrode candidate for HTM and the noble-metal-free PSCs.

Aluminum and Nitrogen Codoped Graphene: Highly Active and Durable Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
摘要： The development of highly active and exceedingly durable electrocatalyst at low cost for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is extremely desirable, but remains to be a grand challenge. Over the past decade, the transitional-metal (e.g., Fe, Co, Ni) and N codoped graphene materials have attracted most attention as the state-of-the-art non-precious-metal-based effective electrocatalyst for ORR, but still entail unsatisfactory issues such as moderate activity and life. Herein, the main-group-metal Al and N codoped graphene (ANG) is successfully fabricated via thermal annealing treatment of N-doped graphene with aluminum tri-(8-hydroxyquinoline). As a highly effective electrocatalyst for ORR, the as-prepared ANG exhibits not only high electrocatalytic activity that even outperforms the commercial Pt/C, but also good durability in both three-electrode cell and Zn-air battery. Theory calculations show that the inhomogeneous charge density distribution and the interaction between Al and N are mainly responsible for the marked enhancement of ORR activity. The designed ANG electrocatalysts will provide a perspective application in energy storage and promote further exploration of main-group-element-based inexpensive, active and durable electrocatalysts.
