Abstract:
Maneuvering spatial photo-induced charge modulation/separation over semiconductor-based photocatalysts represents an enduring challenge in solar-powered photoredox catalysis, but suffers from sluggish charge transport kinetics, confined light absorption scope, limited active species, and rapid charge recombination rate. Herein, we conceptually demonstrate the elaborate design of all transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs)-comprising heterostructures via a facile, controllable, and precise cascade cation exchange strategy. This progressive route strategically extends the light absorption of TMCs, engenders elegant heterostructured interface, and furnishes favorable energy level alignment. The resultant TMCs heterostructures demonstrate markedly enhanced and multifarious photoactivities, owing predominantly to the robust interfacial electronic coupling and applicable energy level configuration among the building blocks, synergistically resulting in the reinforced charge transfer impetus and considerably prolonged charge lifespan. Our work would provide an emerging avenue to fine tuning of vectorial charge motion via such a judicious interface modulation strategy for solar-to-chemical energy conversion.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
