Abstract

An artful graphene sheltering engineering onto TiO2 nanotube array for perfect inhibition of CdS photocorrosion (RGO/CdS–TiO2 NT) has been developed by a one-step electrodeposition method. The CdS photocorrosion driven by both holes and radicals has been systematically investigated and identified. The RGO layer provides a perfect protection to CdS through (i) blocking the attack of active species especially ˙OH radicals and (ii) offering a closed electron-rich microenvironment where the stored electrons RGO(e−) not only reduce intermediate species S˙− to S2− but also compensate the valence band of CdS for its loss of electrons to alleviate CdS photocorrosion from oxidation by holes. The photocatalyst exhibits extremely high stability. RGO/CdS–TiO2 NT shows high visible-light photocatalytic activity for the degradations of organic dye methylene blue (MB), industrial chemical p-nitrophenol (PNP) and herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). This work provides a new insight into the protection of photosensitive semiconductors from photocorrosion.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
