Abstract

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, CoO_x/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.

Key words: Hydrogen production, Photocatalysis, Selenide, Water splitting, Z-scheme
