Journal Article
In-situ transient photovoltage study on interface electron transfer regulation of carbon dots/NiCo2O4 photocatalyst for the enhanced overall water splitting activity
2022
Overview
Photocatalytic hydrogen production by overall water solar-splitting is a prospective strategy to solve energy crisis. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs deeply restricts photocatalytic activity of catalysts. Here, the
in-situ
transient photovoltage (TPV) technique was developed to investigate the interfacial photogenerated carrier extraction, photogenerated carrier recombination and the interfacial electron delivery kinetics of the photocatalyst. The carbon dots/NiCo

(CDs/NiCo

) composite shows weakened recombination rate of photogenerated carriers due to charge storage of CDs, which enhances the photocatalytic water decomposition activity without any scavenger. CDs can accelerate the interface electron extraction about 0.09 ms, while the maximum electron storage time by CDs is up to 0.7 ms. The optimal CDs/NiCo

TPV tests.
