One Stone Two Birds: Utilization of Solar Light for Simultaneous Selective Phenylcarbinol Oxidation and H2 Production over 0D/2D-3D Pt/In2S3 Schottky Junction

Precise regulation and control solar-light-driven charges photoexcited on photocatalysts for separation-transfer target redox reactions is an attractive challenging pathway toward sustainability. Herein, 0D/2D-3D Pt/In2S3 Schottky junction was fabricated simultaneous selective phenylcarbinol conversion into value-added aldehydes production of clean energy H2 by directly utilizing holes electrons in one reaction system under mild conditions. In contrast to pure water splitting In2S3, the thermodynamics kinetics evolution were significantly enhanced. The optimized 0.3% exhibited highest most stable photocatalytic activity with 22.1 mmol g−1 h−1 rate almost 100% selectivity benzaldehyde production. Notably, this dual-function photocatalysis also superiority sacrificial-agent such as lactic acid, Na2S, methanol triethanolamine. turnover frequency (TOF) could reach up ~2394 h−1. Pt clusters anchored at electron location strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) between In2S3 synergistically improved spatial charge separation directional transportation (~90.1% transport efficiency be achieved over hybrid), thus result significant enhancement
