A photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell is able to realize effective solar‐to‐hydrogen energy conversion from water by using the semiconductor photoelectrode. Semiconducting colloidal quantum dots (QDs) with captivating features of size‐tunable optoelectronic properties and broad light absorption are regarded as promising photosensitizers in solar‐driven PEC systems. Up to now, different types of QDs have...
Bias‐Free Water Splitting
In article number 2204495, Xin Tong, Lianzhou Wang, Zhiming M. Wang, and co‐workers develop a quantum dots (QDs)‐based photoelectrochemical (PEC) device comprised of tandem Zn‐doped CuInS2 QDs‐decorated metal oxide electrodes (BiVO4 and Cu2O) for bias‐free solar water splitting. Both the ligands capped on QDs and QDs‐electrode heterojunctions are rationally engineered to...
A cost‐effective and high‐efficiency photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting system based on colloidal quantum dots (QDs) represents a potential solar‐to‐hydrogen (STH) conversion technology to achieve future carbon neutrality. Herein, a self‐biased PEC cell consisting of BiVO4 photoanode and Cu2O photocathode both decorated with Zn‐doped CuInS2 (ZCIS) QDs is successfully fabricated. The intrinsic...
Current great progress on potassium‐chalcogen (S, Se, Te) batteries within much potential to become promising energy storage systems opens a new avenue for the rapid development of potassium batteries as a complementary option to lithium ion batteries. The discussion mainly concentrates on recent research advances of potassium–chalcogen (S, Se, Te) batteries and their corresponding cathode materials...
In article number 1900578, Zhiming M. Wang, Jun Lou, Yu‐Lun Chueh, and co‐workers review synthesis methods, phase transitions, and tunable optical properties for the rational design of MoS2 photocatalytic systems. Moreover, photocatalytic enhancements of plasmon‐assisted MoS2 are also reviewed to further explore the prospects for MoS2 as a cocatalyst and a photocatalyst.
Ultrathin 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), which is the flagship of 2D transition‐metal dichalcogenide nanomaterials, has drawn much attention in the last few years. 2D MoS2 has been banked as an alternative to platinum for highly active hydrogen evolution reaction because of its low cost, high surface‐to‐volume ratio, and abundant active sites. However, when MoS2 is used directly as a photocatalyst,...
