One‐Step Synthesis of Nb2O5/C/Nb2C (MXene) Composites and Their Use as Photocatalysts for Hydrogen Evolution
Open accessAbstract
Hydrogen production through facile photocatalytic water splitting is regarded as a promising strategy to solve global energy problems. Transition‐metal carbides (MXenes) have recently drawn attention as potential co‐catalyst candidates for photocatalysts. Here, we report niobium pentoxide/carbon/niobium carbide (MXene) hybrid materials (Nb 2 O 5/C/Nb 2 C) as photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution from water splitting. The Nb 2 O 5/C/Nb 2 C composites were synthesized by one‐step CO 2 oxidation of Nb 2 CTx. Nb 2 O 5 grew homogeneously on Nb 2 C after mild oxidation, during which some amorphous carbon was also formed. With an optimized oxidation time of 1.0 h, Nb 2 O 5/C/Nb 2 C showed the highest hydrogen generation rate (7.81 μmol h−1 g cat−1), a value that was four times higher than that of pure Nb 2 O 5. The enhanced performance of Nb 2 O 5/C/Nb 2 C was attributed to intimate contact between Nb 2 O 5 and conductive Nb 2 C and the separation of photogenerated charge carriers at the Nb 2 O 5/Nb 2 C interface; the results presented herein show that transition‐metal carbide are promising co‐catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen production.

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.
