[交流] 【分享】光分水制氢--关于Li Can最近一篇文章的评述。

老板今天上午email给我的。说实在话,93%的QE实在是太高了。
还有两个视频,在阳光照射下,直接看到气泡产生,amazing。啥时候咱也能作出来效率这么高的催化剂呢。

Sunlight can readily liberate hydrogen from water as a result of a novel solid catalyst that mediates that reaction with unprecedented efficiency, according to researchers in China who developed the catalyst. The study advances the decades-old search for an inexpensive way to produce hydrogen, a versatile fuel, from water, an abundantly available resource.

A key challenge to tapping into solar energy on a broad scale is developing an effective way to store that energy. One strategy calls for using sunlight to produce fuels such as hydrogen, which in many ways is considered an ideal energy carrier. Using sunlight to evolve hydrogen from water photolytically is one direct route to converting solar energy into fuels. But most photocatalysts suffer from significant shortcomings.

For example, many photocatalysts facilitate water splitting only under ultraviolet light, which constitutes just a few percent of the energy in the broad solar spectrum. Other catalysts have been designed to exploit the visible wavelengths of sunlight. But they do so only with limited effectiveness. A standard measure of that effectiveness is known as quantum efficiency, which can be expressed as the ratio of the number of product molecules to incident photons.

Among synthetic catalysts activated by light in the visible range, the highest quantum efficiency for hydrogen production from water reported until now is about 60%. In contrast, the quantum efficiency of natural catalytic systems that drive photosynthesis can reach 95%.

Now, researchers at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, in China, have developed a three-component semiconductor-based catalyst that can produce hydrogen from water when irradiated with light in the visible-wavelength region (420 nm) with a quantum efficiency as high as 93% (J. Catal., DOI: 10.1016/j.jcat.2009.06.024).

The catalyst, prepared from cadmium sulfide doped with low concentrations of palladium sulfide and platinum, does not convert water into hydrogen and oxygen. It evolves hydrogen alone and does so only from water solutions containing sulfur-based "sacrificial" reagents that consume oxygen, according to Can Li, who led the study and directs the institute's catalysis laboratory.

At Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, in China, Donge Wang gears up to measure light-stimulated catalytic hydrogen production from water.

While searching for the composition that yields the most active photocatalyst, Li, Hongjian Yan, Jinhui Yang, and coworkers observed that pure CdS evolves hydrogen from water very slowly. The team found that doping CdS with platinum or palladium greatly increases the hydrogen yield. But doping CdS with both metals offers little additional benefit, they found. So the team took another approach: They doped CdS with PdS, which boosted CdS's activity by more than a factor of 260. Then they co-doped CdS with PdS and platinum and found the three-component material to be 380 times more active than pure CdS.

The group proposes that PdS serves as an oxidation cocatalyst (co-dopant), and platinum's role is to facilitate reduction. Li notes that further work is already under way to firmly establish the roles of each of the components.

"The reported quantum efficiency of hydrogen evolution is remarkably high," says Kazunari Domen, a photocatalysis expert at the University of Tokyo. He adds that the requirement for sacrificial sulfur compounds might be exploited, for example, to produce hydrogen from sulfur-laden petroleum products. But in Domen's view, the most significant aspect of the work is the novel combination of cocatalysts, which will likely motivate other researchers to explore that strategy in the search for better performing catalysts.

那些根本不算是water splitting,因为metal sulfide会在这个过程中会氧化,而且他用的是Na2S 和Na2SO3溶液,这个过程中只可能是氧化S2-离子,所以严格说不是水分解,只能说产氢。
不过那种气泡是不是氢气,还是有待确定。
新的开始,好好努力

而且文章中一些解释也很牵强。 比如:The direction of charge transfer between the components could be predicted according to their energy band structures [16]. It has been reported that PdS is an n-type semiconductor with a band gap of 1.60 eV [17]. The conduction band edge of PdS is estimated to be −0.5 V vs. SCE (−0.26 V vs. NHE) (Supplementary material, Fig. 5) by Mott-Schottky analysis [18], and the valence band potential of PdS deduced from the conduction band and the band gap (1.6 eV) is approximately +1.34 V vs. NHE, which is less positive than that of CdS (+1.5 V) [2]. This implies that the hole transfer from CdS to PdS is a favorable process, and that the PdS could act as an oxidation cocatalyst here. The conduction band edge of PdS is less negative than the H2O/H2 redox potential (−0.80 V vs. NHE) under the photocatalytic condition (pH = 13.6), so PdS by itself displays no photocatalytic activity for H2 production.

他解释在PH13.6下, PdS 的conduction band postion at -0.26V is less than H2O/H2 redox potential -0.8V, so PdS is not photocatalyst in this system. but the author did not refer CdS, CdS conduction band postion at -0.52V, is also less than -0.8V, So as his explanation, CdS is also not photocatalyst.
So, which one is photocatalyst?
新的开始,好好努力

我只是想大家讨论一下,也许这样会有一个更清晰的结果。
不过不管怎么说,这篇文章还是不错的。 哈哈,希望大家能发表一下自己的理解, 好好交流
新的开始,好好努力

我这两天重复了一下该文章中的工作,只用Pt做cocatalyst,其他条件和文章中的基本一致,产氢速率在0.5 mmol/h 左右,还是低于文中报导的数据。不过比起我以前做的CdS已经有很大的提高了。

不知道是不是水热处理对结晶度的影响导致了较高的产氢速率。改天有时间做个XRD对比下看看。如果真是水热处理的影响,看来以后做完材料可以加一步水热处理,哈哈。

不过那种气泡是不是氢气,还是有 ...

个人觉得如果产氢速率达到4 mmol/h, 产生的气泡应该是氢气吧,引文之前我做的材料,效果好的话也可以看到气泡,只不过没他的那么多。

另外,如果气泡不是氢气,还可能是什么呢?
