摘要: | Photocatalytic hydrogen production from overall water splitting is a clean and renewable technology that can convert solar energy into chemical energy, for which developing an efficient and stable photocatalyst has been the central scientific topic. Herein, CoO/g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalysts were fabricated through a facile solvothermal method for overall water splitting. Simultaneous evolution of H2 and O2 from pure water with the stoichiometric ratio of about 2:1 achieved with all the CoO/g-C3N4 heterojunctions as catalysts under visible light irradiation. Among of them, 30 wt.% CoO/g-C3N4 with H2 evolution rate of 2.51 μmol/h and O2 evolution rate of 1.39 μmol/h also exhibited remarkably higher photocatalytic performance and stability (over 15 cycles) than single CoO or g-C3N4. This enhanced photocatalytic activity of CoO/g-C3N4 heterojunction can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of junction and interface formed between CoO and g-C3N4. In addition, the sufficient long lifetime stability of CoO/g-C3N4 comes from the complementary advantages effect between CoO and g-C3N4, as is proved, CoO can protect g-C3N4 from H2O2 poisoning, and simultaneously the photo-induced heat from CoO during the photocatalytic process responsible for the rapid deactivation can be timely conducted to g-C3N4. |
