Induced dipole moments in amorphous ZnCdS catalysts facilitate photocatalytic H2 evolution
Open accessAbstract
Amorphous semiconductors without perfect crystalline lattice structures are usually considered to be unfavorable for photocatalysis due to the presence of enriched trap states and defects. Here we demonstrate that breaking long-range atomic order in an amorphous ZnCdS photocatalyst can induce dipole moments and generate strong electric fields within the particles which facilitates charge separation and transfer. Loading 1 wt.% of low-cost Co-MoS x cocatalysts to the ZnCdS material increases the H 2 evolution rate to 70.13 mmol g−1 h−1, which is over 5 times higher than its crystalline counterpart and is stable over the long-term up to 160 h. A flexible 20 cm × 20 cm Co-MoS x/ZnCdS film is prepared by a facile blade-coating technique and can generate numerous observable H 2 bubbles under natural sunlight, exhibiting potential for scale-up solar H 2 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.
