Metal Semiconductor Heterostructures for Photocatalytic Conversion of Light Energy
Abstract
For fast separation of the photogenerated charge carriers, metal semiconductor heterostructures have emerged as one of the leading materials in recent years. Among these, metal Au coupled with low bandgap semiconductors remain as ideal materials where both can absorb the solar light in the visible region. It is also established that on excitation, the plasmonic state of gold interacts with excited state of semiconductor and helps for the delocalization of the photogenerated electrons. Focusing these materials where electron transfer preferably occurs from semiconductor to metal Au on excitation, in this Perspective, we report the latest developments in the synthetic chemistry in designing such nano heterostructures and discuss their photocatalytic activities in organic dye degradation/reduction and/or photocatalytic water splitting for generation of hydrogen. Among these, materials such as Au-CZTS, Au-SnS, Au-Bi2S3, Au-ZnSe, and so forth are emphasized, and their formation chemistry as well as their photocatalytic activities are discussed in this Perspective.

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.
