MnWO4 nanorods embedded into amorphous MoSx microsheets in 2D/1D MoSx/MnWO4 S-scheme heterojunction for visible-light photocatalytic water oxidation

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2022.07.021

Abstract

Abstract: In this work, a novel amorphous molybdenum disulfide/manganese tungstate (MoS_x/MnWO₄) hybrid in S-scheme heterojunction was designed and synthesized for photocatalytic water splitting to oxygen generation under visible light. In the hybrids, a strong chemical interlayer between amorphous MoS_x microsheets and MnWO₄ nanorods was created by partial substitution of Mo for W, which increases charge transportation efficiency by reducing charge transfer barrier, verified by the computational density functional theory (DFT) and photoelectrochemical tests. A 0.5 wt% MoS_x/MnWO₄ system (2D/1D) displayed a remarkable enhancement in photocatalytic activity of O₂ evolution, up to 267.8 µmol g^-1 under visible light illumination (> 420 nm). The formed S-scheme heterojunction structure efficiently promotes the utilization of solar light and separation efficiency of photo-generated charge carriers, leading to the improvement of photocatalytic water oxidation performance.

Key words: Photocatalytic water oxidation, Water splitting, Heterojunction, Interface engineering, Density functional theory
