Fabrication of hierarchical ZnIn2S4@CNO nanosheets for photocatalytic hydrogen production and CO2 photoreduction

Abstract

Abstract: Photocatalytic H₂ production and CO₂ reduction have attracted considerable attention for clean energy development. In this work, we designed an efficient photocatalyst by integrating lamellar oxygen-doped carbon nitride (CNO) nanosheets into ZnIn₂S₄ (ZIS) microflowers by a one-step hydrothermal method. A well-fitted 2D hierarchical hybrid heterostructure was fabricated. Under visible light irradiation, the ZIS@CNO composite with 40 wt% CNO (ZC 40%) showed the highest hydrogen evolution rate from water (188.4 μmol·h^-1), which was approximately 2.1 times higher than those of CNO and ZIS (88.6 and 90.2 μmol·h^-1, respectively). Furthermore, the selective CO production rates of ZC 40% (12.69 μmol·h^-1) were 2.2 and 14.0 times higher than those of ZIS (5.85 μmol·h^-1) and CNO (0.91 μmol·h^-1), respectively, and the CH₄ production rate of ZC 40% was 1.18 μmol·h^-1. This enhanced photocatalytic activity of CNO@ZIS is due mainly to the formation of a heterostructure that can promote the transfer of photoinduced electrons and holes between CNO and ZIS, thereby efficiently avoiding recombination of electron-hole pairs.

Key words: ZnIn₂S₄, Oxygen doped carbon nitride, Photocatalysis, H₂ production, CO₂ reduction
