摘要
The synthesis of ammonia through photocatalysis or photoelectrochemistry (PEC) and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has become one of the recent research hotspots in the field, where the catalyzed materials and strategies are critical for the NRR. Herein, a Ni-doped MoS2/Si nanowires (Ni-MoS2/Si NWs) photocathode is prepared, where the Si NWs are formed on the surface of a Si slice by the metal-assisted chemical etching method, and the hydrothermally synthesized Ni-MoS2 nanosheets are then cast-coated on the Si NWs electrode. Porous water with high solubility of N2 is prepared by treating a hydrophobic porous coordination polymer with hydrophilic bovine serum albumin for subsequent aqueous dispersing. The relevant electrodes and materials are characterized by electrochemistry, UV-vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, and zeta potential method. The uses of the Ni-MoS2/Si NWs photocathode and the porous water with high nitrogen solubility for PEC-NRR give a yield of NH3 of 12.0 mmol h-1 m-2 under optimal conditions (e.g., at 0.25 V vs RHE), and the obtained apparent Faradaic efficiency higher than 100% is discussed from the inherent photocurrent-free photocatalysis effect of the photoelectrodes and the suggested classification of three kinds of electrons in PEC, which may have some reference value in understanding and improving other PEC-based processes.
