Abstract:
MnxCd1-xS solid solution is an emerging semiconductor for photocatalytic water splitting with a tunable bandgap. However, it still leaves much room to improve the photocatalytic activity. Herein, we modified Mn-0.5Cd0.5S with noble metal-free NiSe by an in-situ hydrothermal synthesis. The as-obtained NiSe/Mn-0.5Cd0.5S nanocomposites exhibited highly efficient photocatalytic H-2 production under visible light and the highest hydrogen generation rate reaches 28.08 mmol/h/g, which is higher than that of Mn-0.5Cd0.5S (13.71 mmol/h/g) and 1 wt% Pt/Mn-0.5Cd0.5S (24.22 mmol/h/g). Through the detailed analyses of UV-vis DRS, photoluminescence (PL) spectra, time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) and photoelectrochemical tests, we found the wellmatched structure between NiSe and Mn-0.5Cd0.5S, which facilitates the charge transfer and prolongs the lifetime of photo-induced electrons, and thus improves photocatalytic activity.
