Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting represents a leading approach to harness the abundant solar energy, producing hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy carrier. Zinc indium sulfide (ZIS) emerges as one of the most captivating candidates attributed to its unique physicochemical and photophysical properties, attracting much interest and holding significant promise in this domain. To develop a highly efficient ZIS-based photocatalytic system for green energy production, it is paramount to comprehensively understand the strengths and limitations of ZIS, particularly within the framework of solar-driven water splitting. This review elucidates the three sequential steps that govern the overall efficiency of ZIS with a sharp focus on the mechanisms and inherent drawbacks associated with each phase, including commonly overlooked aspects such as the jeopardising photocorrosion issue, the neglected oxidative counter surface reaction kinetics in overall water splitting, the sluggish photocarrier dynamics and the undesired side redox reactions. Multifarious material design strategies are discussed to specifically mitigate the formidable limitations and bottleneck issues. This review concludes with the current state of ZIS-based photocatalytic water splitting systems, followed by personal perspectives aimed at elevating the field to practical consideration for future endeavours towards sustainable hydrogen production through solar-driven water splitting.

Recent development of metal-organic frameworks and their composites in electromagnetic wave absorption and shielding applications. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 332:103271. [PMID: 39146581 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
With the rapid development of information and communication industries, the usage of electromagnetic waves has caused the hazard of human health and misfunction of devices. The adsorption and shielding of electromagnetic waves have been achieved in various materials. The unique adjustable spatial structure makes metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) promising for electromagnetic shielding and adsorbing. As MOFs research advances, various large-scale MOF-based materials have been developed. For instance, MOFs spatial structure has been expanded from 2D to 3D to load more ligands. Progress in synthetic methods for MOFs and their derivatives is advancing, with priority on large-scale preparation and green synthesis. This review summarizes the methods for synthesizing MOFs and their derivatives, and explores the effects of MOFs spatial structure on electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and electromagnetic wave absorption capabilities. At the same time, detailed examples are used to focus on the applications of five different MOFs composites in electromagnetic shielding and electromagnetic wave absorption. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of MOFs in the electromagnetic field are introduced, providing a useful reference for the preparation and design of MOFs and their composites for electromagnetic wave processing applications.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:843. [PMID: 38786799 PMCID: PMC11123994 DOI: 10.3390/nano14100843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
The conversion of solar energy into hydrogen using photocatalysts is a pivotal solution to the ongoing energy and environmental challenges. In this study, inverse opal (IO) ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) with varying pore sizes is synthesized for the first time via a template method. The experimental results indicate that the constructed inverse opal ZnIn2S4 has a unique photonic bandgap, and its slow photon effect can enhance the interaction between light and matter, thereby improving the efficiency of light utilization. ZnIn2S4 with voids of 200 nm (ZIS-200) achieved the highest hydrogen production rate of 14.32 μ mol h-1. The normalized rate with a specific surface area is five times higher than that of the broken structures (B-ZIS), as the red edge of ZIS-200 is coupled with the intrinsic absorption edge of the ZIS. This study not only developed an approach for constructing inverse opal multi-metallic sulfides, but also provides a new strategy for enriching efficient ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution from water.

Abstract
It is facing a tremendous challenge to develop the desirable hybrids for photocatalytic H2 generation by integrating the advantages of a single semiconductor. Herein, an all-sulfide ZnIn2 S4 /CdS/PdS heterojunction is constructed for the first time, where CdS and PdS nanoparticles anchor in the spaces of ZnIn2 S4 micro-flowers due to the confinement effects. The morphology engineering can guarantee rapid charge transfer owing to the short carrier migration distances and the luxuriant reactive sites provided by ZnIn2 S4 . The S-scheme mechanism between ZnIn2 S4 and CdS assisted by PdS cocatalyst is testified by in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), where the electrons and holes move in reverse driven by work function difference and built-in electric field at the interfaces. The optimal ZnIn2 S4 /CdS/PdS performs a glaring photocatalytic activity of 191.9 µmol h-1 (10 mg of catalyst), and the largest AQE (apparent quantum efficiency) can reach a high value of 26.26%. This work may afford progressive tactics to design multifunctional photocatalysts.

Abstract
Photocatalytic H2 evolution coupled with organic transformation provides a new avenue to cooperatively produce clean fuels and fine chemicals, enabling a more efficient conversion of solar energy. Here, a novel two-dimensional (2D) heterostructure of ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheets decorated with amorphous nickel boride (Nix-B) is prepared for simultaneous photocatalytic anaerobic H2 generation and aromatic aldehydes production. This ZnIn2S4/Nix-B catalyst elaborately combines the ultrathin structure advantage of the ZnIn2S4 semiconductor and the cocatalytic function of Nix-B. A high H2 production rate of 8.9 mmol h-1 g-1 is delivered over the optimal ZnIn2S4/Nix-B with a stoichiometric production of benzaldehyde, which is about 22 times higher than ZnIn2S4. Especially, the H2 evolution rate is much higher than the value (2.8 mmol h-1 g-1) of the traditional photocatalytic half reaction of H2 production with triethanolamine as a sacrificial agent. The apparent quantum yield reaches 24% at 420 nm, representing an advanced photocatalyst system. Moreover, compared with traditional sulfide, hydroxide, and even noble metal modified ZnIn2S4/M counterparts (M = NiS, Ni(OH)2, Pt), the ZnIn2S4/Nix-B also maintains markedly higher photocatalytic activity, showing a highly efficient and economical advantage of the Nix-B cocatalyst. This work sheds light on the exploration of 2D ultrathin semiconductors decorated with novel transition metal boride cocatalyst for efficient photocatalytic organic transformation integrated with solar fuel production.

Fabrication of size-controlled hierarchical ZnS@ZnIn 2S 4 heterostructured cages for enhanced gas-phase CO 2 photoreduction. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 605:253-262.

Abstract
Designing and constructing advanced heterojunction architectures are desirable for boosting CO2 photoreduction performance of semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, we have prepared hierarchical ZnS@ZnIn2S4 core-shell cages with controlled particle sizes using sequential synthesis of Zeolitic imidazolate (ZIF-8) polyhedrons, ZnS cages, and ZnIn2S4 nanosheets on the ZnS polyhedron cages. ZIF-8 polyhedrons are firstly synthesized by a liquid-phase approach. The subsequent sulfidation of the ZIF-8 polyhedrons results in the formation of ZnS polyhedron cages, which act as substrates for fabricating ZnS@ZnIn2S4 core-shell cages by growing ZnIn2S4 nanosheets. The size of ZnS cages can be tuned to optimize CO2 photoreduction performance of hierarchical ZnS@ZnIn2S4 core-shell cages. The synergy of the unique hierarchical core-shell cage-like structure and heterojunction composition endows the hybrid catalyst high incident light utilization, abundant active sites, and effective separation of photoexcited charge carriers. Benefiting from these advantages, the optimized hierarchical ZnS@ZnIn2S4 core-shell cages exhibit enhanced performance for CO2 photoreduction with the CO yield of 87.43 μmol h-1g-1 and 84.3% selectivity, which are much superior to those of single ZnIn2S4 or ZnS. Upon Au decoration, the CO2 photoreduction performance of ZnS@ZnIn2S4 core-shell cages is further enhanced because of the Schottky junctions and surface plasmon resonance effect.

Abstract
In this work, ZIF-67 derivative Co3S4 with diamond dodecahedron structure was firstly synthesized via a series of reactions, and ZnIn2S4@Co3S4 heterostructures with adjustable band gaps were successfully obtained through a simple hydrothermal method. Consequently, ZnIn2S4@Co3S4 heterostructures have significantly enhanced visible light absorption and improved photocatalytic efficiency, among which the ZC-5 composite exhibits the highest photocatalytic hydrogen production rate up to 4261 μmol g−1 h−1 under simulated sunlight, to be approximately 4.8 times higher than that of pure ZnIn2S4. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be attributed to faster electron transfer and more efficient electron–hole pairs separation derived from the heterostructures which form at the interface between Co3S4 and ZnIn2S4. Thus, this study provides a good strategy for photocatalytic hydrogen production without precious metals using heterostructures. Appropriate morphology and structure can provide more charge adsorption sites which contribute to high catalytic activity, ZnIn2S4 with the coupling amount of 5% Co3S4 displays superior performance in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions.![]()

Abstract
The preparation method of nanosheets using hyperswollen lyotropic lamellar phases, the 'two-dimensional reactor in amphiphilic phases (TRAP) method', has successfully provided nanosheets of various non-layered materials. Previously reported examples started from a single hydrophobic or hydrophilic precursor and multiple hydrophobic precursors. Here, we propose a synthesis method of nanosheets of ZIF-8, zinc 2-methylimidazolate, with a sodalite-like framework. They grow up to a few nanometers of thickness and several hundred nanometers of width with neither aggregation nor impurities from multiple hydrophilic precursors in the stoichiometric ratio inside the hydrophilic TRAPs consisting of the amphiphile Brij L4. The thin nanosheets of ZIF-8 doped with Co2+ (Co-ZIF-8) synthesized by the same method maintained a high specific surface area after calcination. Therefore, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of the calcined Co-ZIF-8 NSs for fuel cells becomes higher than that of the calcined conventional Co-ZIF-8 crystals.
