説明

Copper indium disulfide (CuInS2) modified with an In2S3 layer and a Pt catalyst showed a more efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) property for hydrogen evolution from a nearly neutral (pH 6) 0.2 M NaH2PO4 solution under simulated sunlight illumination (AM 1.5G) than that of a CuInS2 electrode modified with a CdS layer and a Pt catalyst. Analysis of the PEC properties of In2S3-modified CuInS2 (In2S3/CuInS2) and CdS-modified CuInS2 (CdS/CuInS2) in solutions containing an electron scavenger (Eu3+) showed identical enhancement of the PEC properties of In2S3/CuInS2 when compared to those of CdS/CuInS2, indicating the formation of a favorable heterointerface in In2S3/CuInS2 for efficient charge separation. Spectroscopic evaluation of conduction band offsets revealed that In2S3/CuInS2 had a notch-type conduction band offset, whereas a cliff-type offset was formed in CdS/CuInS2: these results also revealed a better interface electric structure of In2S3/CuInS2 than that of CdS/CuInS2.
