Abstract:

Photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) over graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has gained increasing attention due to green, economy, sustainability and safety. However, its activity is impeded by the low oxidizing ability of photoexcited holes, sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, and fast recombination of photoexcited charge carriers. Here, we show an Ohmic heterojunction of NiS2/g-C3N4 for photosynthesis of H2O2 from water and air under visible light illumination without sacrificial agents. In this photosynthesis system, NiS2 regulated the valence band of g-C3N4 and improved the oxidation capacity of photogenerated holes, which can directly oxidize H2O to produce H2O2. Additionally, NiS2 and g-C3N4 form a reverse barrier layer (the internal electric field force and the band bending produce forces in the same direction upon the photogenerated electron transfer), which is conducive to the separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers. More importantly, the separated electrons and holes are fully utilized, respectively reducing O2 and oxidizing H2O to produce H2O2. The activity of H2O2 production by NiS2/g-C3N4 was therefore significantly improved (approximately 4.5-fold activity enhancement in contrast to g-C3N4) when the two pathways were carried out simultaneously. This study sheds light on the reverse barrier layer photocatalyst with multiple functions for efficient H2O2 photosynthesis and relevant solar energy utilization. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
