要旨

Light-driven hydrogen production using semiconductor photocatalysts has gained much interest owing to their ability to store sunlight in the form of portable chemical fuel. The spatial separation of dual-cocatalysts onto different surfaces has been considered as a useful strategy for fabricating dynamic particulate photocatalysts to hinder charge recombination and reverse reactions. Herein, using one-dimensional (1D) semiconductors, CdSe nanorods as an example, we experimentally demonstrated that photogenerated electrons and holes can be effectively separated along different directions of a 1D semiconductor. Following this phenomenon, the reduction cocatalyst Pt and oxidation cocatalyst PdS were spatially deposited on different sites via an in situ photodeposition process, which drastically enhanced the photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production to more than 20 times, thus exhibiting an extremely high apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of ∼45% at 420 nm. Further studies using photoluminescence spectroscopy indicated that the spatially separated dual-cocatalysts efficiently captured the photogenerated electrons and holes migrating to the surface, which greatly decreased the recombination of charge carriers and consequently led to superior photocatalytic performances. Our work provides an effective strategy for the rational construction of highly efficient photocatalyst systems based on (quasi) 1D semiconductors for artificial solar energy conversion.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry A are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Artificial photosynthesis Batteries Carbon dioxide conversion Catalysis Fuel cells Gas capture/separation/storage Green/sustainable materials Hydrogen generation Hydrogen storage Photocatalysis Photovoltaics Self-cleaning materials Self-healing materials Sensors Supercapacitors Thermoelectrics Water splitting Water treatment
