--- res: bibo_abstract: - A cation exchange-based route was used to produce Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS)-Ag2S nanoparticles with controlled composition. We report a detailed study of the formation of such CZTS-Ag2S nanoheterostructures and of their photocatalytic properties. When compared to pure CZTS, the use of nanoscale p-n heterostructures as light absorbers for photocatalytic water splitting provides superior photocurrents. We associate this experimental fact to a higher separation efficiency of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs. We believe this and other type-II nanoheterostructures will open the door to the use of CZTS, with excellent light absorption properties and made of abundant and environmental friendly elements, to the field of photocatalysis. @eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Xuelian foaf_name: Yu, Xuelian foaf_surname: Yu - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jingjing foaf_name: Liu, Jingjing foaf_surname: Liu - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Aziz foaf_name: Genç, Aziz foaf_surname: Genç - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Maria foaf_name: Ibáñez, Maria foaf_surname: Ibáñez foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0001-5013-2843 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Zhishan foaf_name: Luo, Zhishan foaf_surname: Luo - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Alexey foaf_name: Shavel, Alexey foaf_surname: Shavel - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jordi foaf_name: Arbiol, Jordi foaf_surname: Arbiol - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Guangjin foaf_name: Zhang, Guangjin foaf_surname: Zhang - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Yihe foaf_name: Zhang, Yihe foaf_surname: Zhang - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Andreu foaf_name: Cabot, Andreu foaf_surname: Cabot bibo_doi: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.5b02490 bibo_issue: '38' bibo_volume: 31 dct_date: 2015^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_publisher: American Chemical Society@ dct_title: Cu2ZnSnS4-Ag2S nanoscale p-n heterostructures as sensitizers for photoelectrochemical water splitting@ ...
