Constructing N-Cu-S Interface Chemical Bonds over SnS2 for Efficient Solar-Driven Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)(2023)
摘要
The restricted charge transfer and slow oxygen evolution reaction (OER) dynamics tremendously hamper the realistic implementation of SnS2 photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Here, a novel strategy is developed to construct interfacial N-Cu-S bonds between N-C skeletons and SnS2 (Cu-N-C@SnS2) for efficient PEC water splitting. Compared with SnS2, the PEC activity of Cu-N-C@SnS2 photoelectrode is tremendously heightened, obtaining a current density of 3.40 mA cm(2) at 1.23 V-RHE with a negatively shifted onset potential of 0.04 V-RHE, which is 6.54 times higher than that of SnS2. The detailed experimental characterizations and theoretical calculation demonstrate that the interfacial N-Cu-S bonds enhance the OER kinetic, reduce the surface overpotential, facilitate the separation of photon-generated carriers, and provide a fast transmission channel for electrons. This work presents a new approach for modulating charge transfer by interfacial bond design in heterojunction photoelectrodes toward promoting PEC performance and solar energy application.
