Abstract

Exploiting noble‐metal‐free cocatalysts is of huge interest for photocatalytic water splitting using solar energy. As an efficient cocatalyst in photocatalysis, MoS 2 is shown promise as a low‐cost alternative to Pt for hydrogen evolution. Here we report a systematical study on controlled synthesis of MoS 2 with layer number ranging from ≈1 to 112 and their activities for photocatalytic H 2 evolution over commercial CdS. A drastic increase in photocatalytic H 2 evolution is observed with decreasing MoS 2 layer number. Particularly for the single‐layer (SL) MoS 2, the SL‐MoS 2/CdS sample reaches a high H 2 generation rate of ≈2.01 × 10−3m h−1 in Na 2 S–Na 2 SO 3 solutions and ≈2.59 × 10−3m h−1 in lactic acid solutions, corresponding to an apparent quantum efficiency of 30.2% and 38.4% at 420 nm, respectively. In addition to the more exposed edges and unsaturated active S atoms, valence band–XPS and Mott–Schottky plots analysis indicate that the SL MoS 2 has the more negative conduction band energy level than the H+/H 2 potential, facilitating the hydrogen reduction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
