功函数工程调控Mo2C MXene的Mo 4d电子结构以提升光催化产氢效率
Work-function-engineered Mo 4d electronic structure modulation in Mo2C MXene cocatalyst for efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution
【摘要】 Mo2C MXene(Mo2CTx)由于其表面Mo活性位点具有类Pt的电子结构在光催化中展现出优异的析氢潜力。然而,Mo2CTx中的Mo位点在析氢反应(HER)过程中通常表现出过强的H吸附能力,显著限制了Mo2CTx的本征催化活性。为了削弱Mo活性位点的H吸附能力,本论文通过功函数诱导效应原位构建MoC-Mo2C MXene异质结,实现了d轨道电子的调控。利用Co诱导的熔盐法将Mo2C MXene原位转化为MoC,随后通过简单的超声辅助方法与TiO2耦合,制备了MoCMo2CTx/TiO2光催化剂。光催化产氢测试表明,最优的MoC-Mo2CTx/TiO2样品实现了1886μmol·h-1·g-1的产氢速率,分别是TiO2和Mo2CFx/TiO2(Mo2CFx通过常规蚀刻剂NH4F+HCl制备)的117.9倍和3.9倍。实验和理论计算证实,MoC与Mo2C MXene之间的功函数梯度诱导电子从MoC向Mo2C MXene转移,从而削弱了Mo2CTx助催化剂中Mo活性位点的H吸附能力,进而提升了其HER活性。该研究为原位构建基于Mo2C MXene的异质结以调控Mo活性位点的H吸附能力提供了一种新策略。
【Abstract】 Mo2C MXene (Mo2CTx) exhibits exceptional hydrogen-evolution potential in photocatalysis due to the Pt-like electronic structure of surface Mo active sites.However,the Mo sites in Mo2CTx usually show excessively strong H-adsorption during HER,significantly limiting the intrinsic catalytic activity of Mo2CTx.To weaken the H-adsorption capacity of Mo active sites,a strategy of modulating d-orbital electron is implemented via in-situ constructing MoC-Mo2C MXene heterojunction by a work-function-induced effect.The Mo C-Mo2CTx heterojunction was synthesized by in situ conversion of Mo2C MXene into MoC via a Co-induced molten salt method,followed by coupling with TiO2 through a simple ultrasonication-assisted method to prepare the Mo C-Mo2CTx/Ti O2 photocatalyst.Photocatalytic tests showed that the optimal MoC-Mo2CTx/TiO2 sample achieves an excellent hydrogen production rate of 1886μmol·h-1·g-1,representing 117.9and 3.9 fold enhancements over Ti O2 and Mo2CFX/TiO2 (Mo2CF2 prepared by a conventional etchant NH4F+HCl),respectively.Experimental and theoretical calculations substantiate that the work-function gradient between Mo C and Mo2C MXene induces electron transfer from MoC to Mo2C MXene to weaken the H-adsorption of Mo active sites in Mo2CTx cocatalyst,thereby enhancing its HER activity.This research provides a new strategy of in situ constructing Mo2C MXenebased heterojunction for adjusting the H-adsorption capacity of Mo active sites.
