Interfacial Charge Transfer in MoS2/TiO2 Heterostructured Photocatalysts: The Impact of Crystal Facets and Defects.

ABSTRACT: One of the most challenging issues in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is to efficiently separate photocharge carriers. Although MoS2 loading could effectively improve the photoactivity of TiO2, a fundamental understanding of the charge transfer process between TiO2 and MoS2 is still lacking. Herein, TiO2 photocatalysts with different exposed facets were used to construct MoS2/TiO2 heterostructures. XPS, ESR, together with PL measurements evidenced the Type II electron transfer from MoS2 to {001}-TiO2. Differently, electron-rich characteristic of {101}-faceted TiO2 were beneficial for the direct Z-scheme recombination of electrons in TiO2 with holes in MoS2. This synergetic effect between facet engineering and oxygen vacancies resulted in more than one order of magnitude enhanced hydrogen evolution rate. This finding revealed the elevating mechanism of constructing high-performance MoS2/TiO2 heterojunction based on facet and defect engineering.
