Abstract
Localized CdS homojunctions with optimal ratio of high and low index facets are constructed to dy-namically boost H2O splitting into H2 energy by hydrothermal method in combination with calcination.By density functional theory,hall effect,and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spec-troscopy,it is revealed that photo-irradiated e-and h+can be spatially separated and directionally trans-ferred to the reductive high-index facet {002} and oxidative low-index facet {110} of localized CdS homo-junction induced by Fermi level difference of both high and low index facets to dehydrogenate*-OH and coupled*-O intermediates for H2 and O2 yield,respectively,along with a solar conversion into hydrogen of 1.93%by AM 1.5 G irradiation at 65 ℃.The study work suggests a scientific perspective on the optimal ratio of high and low index facets to understand photo-generated charge carrier transfer dynamically and their photocatalytic principle for H2O splitting reaction in kinetics.
