Abstract
In this paper, Ti3C2/Mn0.5Cd0.5S (TCMCS) photocatalysts were synthesized through a hydrothermal process. As-prepared samples were characterized through XRD, TEM, XPS, PL and other methods. Due to intimate contact between Mn0.5Cd0.5S (MCS) nanoparticles and Ti3C2 interface, photoinduced electrons could availably transmit from MCS to Ti3C2, promoting the transfer of photoinduced charge. Meanwhile, TCMCS exhibited better light absorption capacity and lower hydrogen precipitation overpotential. When TCMCS was applied for splitting water to H2, compared with bare MCS (543.31 μmol h−1 g−1), the prepared TCMCS composites showed a higher hydrogen precipitation rate (2046.25 μmol h−1 g−1), and stable hydrogen precipitation ability. Therefore, in the field of developing efficient photocatalysts for hydrogen precipitation, this work brings a reference.
