摘要
Developing low-cost and high-performance catalysts is significant to solar-to-fuel conversion. Here, the synthesis of zero-dimensional (OD) CeO2 nanocrystal-decorated two-dimensional (2D) layered hybrids of MoS2/g-C3N4 was reported for the first time. In the absence of noble-metal cocatalyst, the optimized ternary CeO2@MoS2/gC(3)N(4) still manifested high photocatalytic activity toward H-2 generation, with a rate of 65.4 mu mol/h, which is approximately 8.3 and 17.5-fold greater than gC(3)N(4 )and CeO2, respectively. The corresponding apparent external quantum efficiency reached 10.35% at a wavelength of 420 nm. The superior photocatalytic behavior of CeO2@MoS2/gC(3)N(4) heterojunction could be ascribed to the positive synergetic effects of well-matched energylevel positions and effective charge separation arose from the multi-step electron transfer processes between Ce4+/Ce3+ reversibility pairs and heterostructures. Furthermore, the adsorption ability of reactant H2O molecules on CeO2@MoS2/gC(3)N(4) was investigated. Due to the interfacial electronic interaction and Ce3+ species, CeO2@MoS2/gC(3)N(4)presented more reaction active sites with enhanced adsorption capacity and decreased energy barrier for reactant H2O molecules adsorption, which collaboratively promoted photocatalytic water splitting. This study provides new insights into the rational design of inexpensive ternary photocatalyst with multilevel electron transfer for efficiently converting solar energy into hydrogen without noble metals.
