A Direct Z-scheme Janus-MoSSe/BiVO4 Heterostructure for Photocatalytic Water Splitting: a First-Principles Study
Journal of physics D, Applied physics(2022)
摘要
An efficient photocatalyst has an important role in the photocatalytic water splitting using solar energy to produce hydrogen and oxygen. In this paper, MoSSe/BiVO4(010) heterostructure photocatalyst was constructed to solve the problem of low efficiency of individual photocatalysts. The results of first-principles calculations show that this composite structure has the photocatalytic mechanism of Z-scheme heterostructure, which is helpful for improving the photocatalytic efficiency. Calculations of Gibbs free energy changes confirm the thermodynamic feasibility of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction in MoSSe/BiVO4(010) heterostructures. These results indicate that the MoSSe/BiVO4(010) heterostructure has great application potential for visible-light-driven water splitting.
