Hydrogen evolution based on the electrons/protons stored on amorphous TiO2
Literature Information
Ling Zhang, Wenzhong Wang
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using recyclable mediator is being actively pursued as a route for solar energy conversion. Herein, we introduce a catalyst mediator (MoS2) that enables proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process on the recyclable TiO2 (H+–TiO2/e−) to a separate, catalytic hydrogen production step without requiring post-light energy input. This approach supplies a new insight to hydrogen evolution with the recyclable proton–electron pairs, stored at the semiconductor after the light irradiation. It was found that 80% of the electrons stored on TiO2 could be devoted to the reduction of H+ into H2 on MoS2 nanosheets in the dark. The electron transfer to MoS2 occurs at a rate of 455 μmol h−1 g−1 and 947 μmol h−1 g−1 in the dark and excited state, respectively.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
