Fig. 5: Solar hydrogen production synergized with photocatalytic aromatic alcohol conversion.
a Photocatalytic BA dehydrogenation rates of various photocatalysts (300 W Xe lamp; λ > 420 nm; light intensity 100 mW/cm2; catalyst 20 mg; solvent 50 mL water with 3 mL BA; irradiation time 3 h; sampling was performed every 30 min). b In the presence of different free radical scavengers, the photocatalytic production rates of H2 and BAD by 6%-MoS2/Zn3In4S9 were tested after 3 h of light irradiation. c H2 and BAD yields of 6%-MoS2/Zn3In4S9 at distinct wavelengths (λ = 350, 380, 420, 450, 475, and 500 nm) and the corresponding AQY of H2 and BAD. d The photocatalytic production rates of H2 and BAD by various photocatalysts and the selective efficiency of BAD. e H2 production rates for temperature intervals of 4 °C, 8 °C, 12 °C, 16 °C, 20 °C and 24 °C. f Comparison of H2 production rates of 6%-MoS2/Zn3In4S9 photocatalysts under different sacrificial agent systems (pure water, Na2S/Na2SO3, TEOA, lactic acid) and BA photosynthesis systems. g Cycling test of H2 and BAD production rates over 6%-MoS2/Zn3In4S9 photocatalysts (3 h per cycle, 10 cycles of 30 h).
