Abstract

Abstract: The global commitment to pivoting to sustainable energy and products calls for technology development to utilize solar energy for hydrogen (H₂) and value-added chemicals production by biomass photoreform-ing. Herein, a novel dual-functional marigold-like Zn_xCd₁_-xS homojunction has been the production of lac-tic acid with high-yield and H₂ with high-efficiency by selective glucose photoreforming. The optimized Zn_0.3Cd_0.7S exhibits outstanding H₂ generation (13.64 mmol h^-1 g^-1), glucose conversion (96.40%), and lactic acid yield (76.80%), over 272.80 and 19.21 times higher than that of bare ZnS (0.05 mmol h^-1 g^-1) and CdS (0.71 mmol h^-1 g^-1) in H₂ generation, respectively. The marigold-like morphology provides abundant active sites and sufficient substrates accessibility for the photocatalyst, while the specific role of the homojunction formed by hexagonal wurtzite (WZ) and cubic zinc blende (ZB) in photoreforming biomass has been demonstrated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Glucose is converted to lactic acid on the WZ surface of Zn_0.3Cd_0.7S via the photoactive species ^.O^-₂, while the H₂ is evolved from protons (H⁺) in H₂O on the ZB surface of Zn_0.3Cd_0.7S. This work paves a promising road for the production of sustainable energy and products by integrating photocatalysis and biorefine.

Key words: Zn_xCd_1-_xS homojunction, Selective glucose photoreforming, Biomass valorization, Sustainable H₂, Photoreforming mechanism
