Prussian Blue Analogues-Derived ZnFe₂O₄ in CuO/ZnFe₂O₄ p-n Junction for H₂ Production.

ABSTRACT: ZnFe₂O₄ is an n-type semiconductor spinel oxide with promising applications in various fields, including photocatalysis. This study reports the successful synthesis of a novel ZnFe₂O₄ derivative based on Prussian Blue Analogues (PBAs) through an electrosynthesis method. To enhance photocatalytic performance, the synthesized ZnFe₂O₄ was employed as a cocatalyst in p-n junction materials, specifically CuO/ZnFe₂O₄. Our findings reveal that introducing ZnFe₂O₄ could significantly improve the photocatalytic activity and hydrogen (H₂) production rate of the CuO/ZnFe₂O₄ system compared to bare CuO. This enhancement was sustained over an extended operationa
