摘要
Constructing active sites with optimized surface interface structure on photocatalysts is essential to photocatalytic H-2 production. Herein, CoS as a promising cocatalyst is in-situ anchored on the surface porous g-C3N4 (PCN) using a facial solid-state method. The in-situ growth of CoS with small particle size on PCN endows their intimate interfacial contact, which provides a fluent transfer channel of photogenerated carriers. CoS promotes photogenerated electron-hole pairs and reduces the overpotential of H-2 evolution. According to the results of Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, benefitting from the difference of work functions between CoS and PCN, photogenerated electrons spontaneously migrate from PCN to CoS, thus resulting in the spatial separation of carriers. Moreover, CoS possesses near-zero.GH*, causing the electrons gathered on CoS to be more likely to reduce protons to H-2 molecules. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of hydrogen evolution on 2 % CoS/gC(3)N(4) at lambda = 420 nm reaches 35.6 % and the maximum H-2-evolving rate reaches as high as 3.27 mmol.h(-1).g(-1) under the irradiation of natural light. This work provides a facile synthesis method for loading metal sulfide cocatalysts and gains a deeper understanding of the mechanism of CoS acting as active sites for photocatalytic H-2 production.
