Boosting the photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide directly from pure water and air over S-scheme fiber heterojunction
The generation of solar H2O2 through the re-action of O2 and H2O is a cost-effective and environmental-friendly procedure.Nevertheless,most photocatalysts are only active when sacrificial donors are present,thereby limiting their practicality.Herein,the S-scheme fiber heterojunction Nb2O5@NiS(NONS)was fabricated as a catalyst for photo-catalytic hydrogen peroxide evolution through an electro-spinning-assisted ion exchange strategy.In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was then used to in-vestigate the excellent performance(0.48 mmol g-1)of the optimized photocatalyst NONS-30 obtained directly from pure water and air through the S-scheme charge transfer path.Following scavenger capture experiments and electron spin resonance spectroscopy,an overlooked pathway was dis-covered that implicated 1O2 in the formation of H2O2.This work also revealed an alternative reaction pathway to produce H2O2 by fabricating fiber heterojunction photocatalysts.
