Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production of ZnIn₂S₄ by Using Surface-Engineered Ti₃C₂T_x MXene as a Cocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: Developing efficient and stable photocatalysts is crucial for photocatalytic hydrogen production. Cocatalyst loading is one of the effective strategies for improving photocatalytic efficiency. Here, Ti₃C₂T_x (T_x = F, OH, O) nanosheets have been adopted as promising cocatalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen production due to their metallic conductivity and unique 2D characterization. In particular, surface functionalized Ti₃C₂(OH)_x and Ti₃C₂O_x cocatalysts were synthesized through the alkalization treatment with NaOH and a mild oxidation treatment of Ti₃C₂F_x, respectively.
