摘要: 基于粉末半导体催化剂的太阳能光催化分解水技术因具有廉价和适宜大规模生产等优点正日益成为未来重要的制氢技术之一.开发高效光催化分解水体系的一个重要前提是使用窄带隙半导体材料,从而能最大化地吸收和利用太阳光谱.近年来,一些诸如氮(氧)化物、硫(氧)化物和硒化物等窄带隙半导体材料陆续被开发和拓展到光催化全分解水体系中.然而,考虑到随着吸收波长的提高而导致氧化还原反应驱动力减小的挑战,开发基于窄带隙半导体催化剂的高效全分解水体系依然是当今光催化研究领域的主题之一.
金属硒化物作为一类窄带隙半导体材料,较同类氧化物和硫化物具有更长的吸收带边.前期我们课题组利用金层锚定的硒化锌和铜镓硒固溶体(ZnSe:CGSe)产氢催化剂与CoOx/BiVO4产氧催化剂组合实现了首例基于硒化物的可见光驱动Z机制全分解纯水.为了进一步探索更多基于硒化物构筑Z机制全分解水催化体系的可能,本文通过调变Zn/(Zn+Cu)和Ga/Cu摩尔比制备了吸收带边在480-730 nm范围内可调的系列ZnSe:CGSe样品,并以此硒化物为产氢催化剂,结合CoOx/BiVO4产氧催化剂以及还原石墨烯(RGO)电子介质成功构筑了另一种Z机制全分解纯水催化体系.该体系与前期报道的体系相比,避免了真空蒸镀工艺过程,构筑起来更为简单便捷.研究表明,光催化分解水效率与对应硒化物光阴极的光电性能密切相关,而与有牺牲试剂存在下的硒化物产氢活性不呈线性关系.

Abstract: Exploration of novel narrow bandgap semiconductors for overall water splitting is vital for the realization of practical solar H2 production. In the work, solid solutions of zinc selenide and copper gallium selenide with absorption edge wavelengths ranging from 480 to 730 nm were developed. Using these metal selenides as H2-evolving photocatalysts, CoOx/BiVO4 as the O2-evolving photocatalyst, and reduced graphene oxide as the electron mediator, all-solid-state Z-scheme overall pure water splitting systems were constructed. The rate of photocatalytic H2 evolution from aqueous solutions containing Na2S and Na2SO3 as the electron donors was evaluated while employing these selenide photocatalysts at various Zn/(Zn+Cu) and Ga/Cu molar ratios. The data demonstrate that efficient Z-scheme overall water splitting was significantly correlated to the photoelectrochemical performance of the selenide photocatalysts acting as photocathodes, rather than the photocatalytic activities of these materials during the sacrificial H2 evolution.
