Mn0.3Cd0.7S Nanorods Modified by Amorphous FexP with Improved Photocatalytic Activity and Stability for H2 Evolution

摘要

In this paper, a novel amorphous FexP was successfully synthesized and anchored onto the surface of Mn0.3Cd0.7S nanorods by a mild solvothermal technology. FexP/Mn0.3Cd0.7S-0.2 composite exhibited the highest H-2 production of 31.42 mmol g(-1) h(-1), which was 766.34-fold higher than that of Mn0.3Cd0.7S. Amorphous FexP was used as an effective cocatalyst and electron collector to provide reaction sites for H-2 evolution, accelerate the transfer of e(-), and hinder the recombination of carriers, thus significantly improving the catalytic activity and stability of FexP/Mn0.3Cd0.7S.
