Localized CdS homojunctions with optimal ratio of high and low index facets to dynamically boost H2O splitting into H2 energy

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2023.06.041

Abstract

Abstract: Localized CdS homojunctions with optimal ratio of high and low index facets are constructed to dynamically boost H₂O splitting into H₂ energy by hydrothermal method in combination with calcination. By density functional theory, hall effect, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, it is revealed that photo-irradiated e^- and h⁺ can be spatially separated and directionally transferred to the reductive high-index facet {002} and oxidative low-index facet {110} of localized CdS homojunction induced by Fermi level difference of both high and low index facets to dehydrogenate *-OH and coupled *-O intermediates for H₂ and O₂ yield, respectively, along with a solar conversion into hydrogen of 1.93% by AM 1.5 G irradiation at 65 °C. The study work suggests a scientific perspective on the optimal ratio of high and low index facets to understand photo-generated charge carrier transfer dynamically and their photocatalytic principle for H₂O splitting reaction in kinetics.

Key words: Photocatalytic H₂ evolution, Homojunction, Localized field, Ratio of high low index facets, In-situ DRIFTS
