Energy gap engineering of polymeric carbon nitride nanosheets for matching with NaYF4:Yb,Tm: enhanced visible-near infrared photocatalytic activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molecularly grafted carbon nitride (CN) nanosheets, matching well with the emission energy of upconversion phosphors (UCPs), were acquired for the first time. As a result of energy gap engineering, the assembled composites successfully realized the full use of visible-NIR light and afforded much higher activity than any CN- or UCP-based photocatalyst ever reported.

Facet engineered interface design of NaYF4:Yb,Tm upconversion nanocrystals on BiOCl nanoplates for enhanced near-infrared photocatalysis.
The combination of upconversion nanocrystals with a wide-bandgap semiconductor is an efficient strategy to develop near-infrared (NIR)-responsive photocatalysts. The photocatalytic activity of the hybrid structures is greatly determined by the efficiency of the energy transfer on the interface between upconversion nanocrystals and the semiconductor. In this work, we demonstrate the interface de...
متن کاملUV, visible and near-infrared lights induced NOx destruction activity of (Yb,Er)-NaYF4/C-TiO2 composite
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a well-known photocatalyst for environmental cleaning and energy conversion. However, it can only be excited by ultraviolet light for photocatalysis due to its wide band gap (3.2 eV). In this paper, we present a novel (Yb,Er)-NaYF4/C-TiO2 composite which can be perfectly induced not only by ultraviolet light but also weak visible and near infrared lights, owing to the...

High-quality hexagonal NaYF4:Yb,Tm upconversion nanocrystals (UCNs) prepared in organic solutions display uniform sizes and strong UC emissions, but they possess a hydrophobic surface which hinders combining them with various semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) to form a hybrid NIR-activated photocatalyst. Herein we present a facile approach to modify hydrophobic UCNs with a uniform carbon layer a...
