Abstract
Herein,two novel 3D porous Ni-based N doped carbon heterojunctions(NiS2@NC or Ni2P@NC)were suc-cessfully prepared through in situ carbonization and sulfurization or phosphorization by using flower-like Ni-based zeolite imidazolium framework as a precursor.Physiochemical and photoelectrochemical prop-erties were investigated to explore photoinduced charge separation and transfer in the heterojunction.Meanwhile,the photo/electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performances were evaluated systematically.In contrast to the controlled Ni-ZIF and Ni@NC composites,the expected flower-like NiS2@NC compounds show significantly enhanced photo/electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performances,which is 13.8 times that of Ni-ZIF and 1.8 times that of Ni@NC.Furthermore,a phosphorus-decorated composite(Ni2P@NC)was synthesized for better comparison,which also displays apparently improved photo/electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activities.The findings present that the synergistic effect of S doping and semicon-ducting NiS2 formation take responsibility for the enhancement of H2 generation over the NiS2@NC hy-brids.This work can provide a new strategy to construct efficient ZIFs-based photo/electrocatalysts with high performance of H2 production.
