Abstract
The rapid recombination of charges severely limits the activity of photocatalysis. In this article, a polarized electric field and an internal electric field are formed between catalysts by constructing an interface engineering strategy. Through the synergistic effect of double electric fields, the above problems have been effectively resolved . The granular Cd0.5Zn0.5S was attached to the LaCoO3 network structure by electrostatics, and the composite catalyst Cd0.5Zn0.5S/LaCoO3 (CL) was formed. In situ characterization by XPS, EPR, and KFAM confirmed the formation of an S-scheme heterojunction between the composite catalysts. At the same time, electrochemical and fluorescence characterization confirmed that the photogenerated carrier separation efficiency of the CL-25 composite catalyst was significantly improved. This is because the built-in electric field at the interface of the composite catalyst exerts the polarizing electric field between the individual catalysts to an extreme degree, greatly reducing the recombination rate of photogenerated carriers and effectively improving the hydrogen evolution efficiency of the composite photocatalyst. DFT theoretical calculations prove that the existence of a double electric field can greatly reduce the Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption.
期刊介绍：
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
