What is Eco-friendly rice husk derived biochar as a highly efficient noble Metal-Free cocatalyst for high production of H2 using solar light irradiation about?
Eco-friendly, low-cost, and highly efficient noble metal-free rice husk (RH) biomass-derived biochar (BC) was developed as an efficient cocatalyst to improve the performance of zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn 2 S 4 ) for the photocatalytic H 2 production. The ZnIn 2 S 4 and BC were synthesized using simple hydrothermal and pyrolysis methods, respectively. The ZnIn 2 S 4 was converted into few-layered ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets (ZIS) after the incorporation on BC using ultra-sonication process. The optimized nanocomposite exhibited superior H 2 production (4,466 μmol h -1 g -1 ) compared to pristine ZIS under the simulated light irradiation. The stability of catalyst was confirmed by long-term (30 h) photo-experiment and recycling studies. Enhanced activity was the result of efficient interfacial contacts between the materials in addition to high surface area, high conductivity with carbon content, porous structure of BC, and ultrathin-layered structure of ZIS nanosheets. The effective photoinduced charge carrier separation, improved long-life shuttling, and subsequent acceleration has led to enhanced visible light absorption for enhanced H 2 production.
