Constructing Anatase TiO2 Nanosheets with Exposed (001) Facets/Layered MoS2 Two-Dimensional Nanojunctions for Enhanced Solar Hydrogen Generation
Abstract
Cocatalysts have been extensively used to accelerate the rate of hydrogen evolution in semiconductor-based photocatalytic systems, but the influence of interface state between semiconductor and cocatalyst has been rarely investigated. Here, we demonstrate a feasible strategy of two-dimensional (2D) nanojuctions to enhance solar hydrogen generation of the MoS 2 /TiO 2 system. Loading of 2D MoS 2 nanosheets on the surface of 2D anatase TiO 2 nanosheets with exposed (001) facets greatly increases the interfacial contact. At an optimal ratio of 0.50 wt % MoS 2, the 2D-2D MoS 2 /TiO 2 photocatalyst shows the highest H 2 evolution rate of 2145 μmol h –1 g –1, which is almost 36.4 times higher than that of pure TiO 2 nanosheets. The apparent quantum yield of hydrogen evolution system reaches 6.4% at 360 nm. More importantly, the 2D-2D MoS 2 /TiO 2 composite exhibits photocatalytic activity much higher than those of noble metal (such as Pt, Rh, Ru, Pd, and Au) loaded TiO 2 photocatalysts. The decisive factor in improving the photocatalytic H 2 production activity is an intimate and large contact interface between the light-harvesting semiconductor and cocatalyst. The effective charge transfer from TiO 2 to MoS 2 is demonstrated by the significant enhancement of photocurrent responses in 2D-2D MoS 2 /TiO 2 composite electrodes. This work creates new opportunities for designing and constructing highly efficient photocatalysts by interface engineering.

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.
