CdS decorated resorcinol-formaldehyde spheres as an inorganic/organic S-scheme photocatalyst for enhanced H2O2 production

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2023.03.054

Abstract

Abstract: Photocatalytic H₂O₂ production provides a clean and sustainable strategy for artificial photosynthesis. Herein, an inorganic/organic composite photocatalyst was fabricated by in-situ growth of CdS nanoparticles on the surface of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin spheres. RF spheres played multiple roles: (i) acting as a substrate for the growth of CdS and constructing a core-shell structure with seamless contact; (ⅱ) improving visible light absorption of CdS; (ⅲ) forming an S-scheme heterojunction with CdS and promoting the charge separation and transfer. Consequently, under visible light illumination, CdS/RF composite presented remarkably enhanced H₂O₂ production activity. Its H₂O₂ yield in 60 min was 801 μmol L^-1, which was 5.2 and 1.5 times higher than that of RF spheres and CdS hollow spheres, respectively. The charge migration between CdS and RF followed the S-scheme photocatalytic mechanism, which was verified by work function measurement, ex-situ and in-situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This work brings a novel insight into designing RF-based inorganic/organic S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for efficient H₂O₂ production.

Key words: Photocatalysis, Step-scheme heterojunction, Resorcinol-formaldehyde, Hydrogen peroxide, in-situ irradiated XPS
