Article Abstract
Photocatalytic overall splitting of pure water (HO) without sacrificial reagent to hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) holds a great potential for achieving carbon neutrality. Herein, by anchoring cobalt sulfide (CoS) as cocatalyst and cadmium sulfide (CdS) as light absorber to channel wall of a porous polymer microreactor (PP12), continuous violent H and O bubbling productions from photocatalytic overall splitting of pure HO without sacrificial reagent is achieved, with H and O production rates as high as 4.41 and 2.20 mmol h g respectively. These are significantly enhanced than those in the widely used stirred tank-type reactor in which no O is produced and H production rate is only 0.004 mmol h g . Besides improved charge separation and interaction of HO with photocatalyst in PP12, bonding interaction of CoS with PP12 creates abundant catalytic active sites for simultaneous productions of H and O, thus leading to the significantly enhanced H and O bubbling productions in PP12. This offers a new strategy to enhance photocatalytic overall splitting of pure HO without sacrificial reagent.

The challenge of photocatalytic hydrogen production has motivated a targeted search for MXenes as a promising class of materials for this transformation because of their high mobility and high light absorption. High-throughput screening has been widely used to discover new materials, but the relatively high cost limits the chemical space for searching MXenes. We developed a deep-learning-enabled high-throughput screening approach that identified 14 stable candidates with suitable band alignment for water splitting from 23 857 MXenes.

The quest for sustainable and clean energy sources has led to significant research into photocatalytic water splitting, a process that converts solar energy into hydrogen fuel. This study demonstrates constructing a high-performance CdTe/CN van der Waals heterojunction for solar-driven water splitting hydrogen evolution. The proposed CdTe/CN heterojunction, investigated using first-principles calculations, integrates favorable structural stability and features a direct bandgap of 1.

Suppressing photoinduced charge recombination represents a critical challenge in photocatalytic ammonia (NH) decomposition for hydrogen (H) production. Herein, we propose a dual-cocatalyst system comprising plasmonic silver (Ag) and nickel oxide (NiO), which synergistically construct an Ag → titanium dioxide (TiO) → NiO directional electron cascade on TiO surfaces through work-function-induced interfacial charge transfer. The optimized 3 %Ag-1 %NiO-TiO reaches a significantly photocatalytic H production rate of 2366.

Organic semiconductors are very attractive photocatalysts for the production of solar fuels. However, their development is greatly plagued by limited visible light absorption and severe restriction of photoexcited charge carrier separation and transfer caused by the exciton effect resulting from inherent dielectric constraints. Herein, a three-motif molecular junction hydrogen evolution photocatalyst is constructed by linking a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) molecule integrating the photosensitizer unit and the redox unit with holey carbon nitride sheets (HCNS) as a second electron acceptor unit (A) based on the covalent strategy.
