چکیده
A high rate of 2.23 mmol h(-1) g(-1) (quantum efficiency of 6.67% at 400 nm) for visible light driven photocatalytic H2 evolution can be achieved with g-C3N4 by alkalization of the solution to a pH of 13.3, due to accelerated transfer of photoholes to the sacrificial donor.

Aligned TiO2 nanotube layers (TiNTs) grown by self-organizing anodization of a Ti-substrate in a fluoride-based electrolyte were decorated with graphitic-phase C3N4 (g-C3N4) via a facile chemical vapor deposition approach. In comparison with classical TiO2 nanotubes (anatase), the g-C3N4/TiNTs show an onset of the photocurrent at 2.4 eV (vs. 3.2 eV for anatase) with a considerably high photocur...

The organic-inorganic composite g-C3N4eSrTiO3:Rh was prepared for the first time as a photocatalyst for hydrogen production and the resulting hydrogen evolution rate under visible light irradiation from aqueous methanol solution was measured. A high hydrogen evolution rate of 223.3 mmol h 1 was achieved by using 0.1 g of as-prepared photocatalyst powder comprised of 20 wt.% g-C3N4 80 wt.% SrTiO...

Black TiO2 nanobelts/g-C3N4 nanosheets laminated heterojunctions (b-TiO2/g-C3N4) as visible-light-driven photocatalysts are fabricated through a simple hydrothermal-calcination process and an in-situ solid-state chemical reduction approach, followed by the mild thermal treatment (350 °C) in argon atmosphere. The prepared samples are evidently investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform...
متن کاملNickel-supported carbon nitride photocatalyst combined with organic dye for visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution from water.
A noble-metal-free photocatalytic H2 production system consisting of a Ni-based catalyst, visible-light-responsive organic dye, and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a support has been developed. Characterization by means of XAFS revealed that the deposition of a trinuclear Ni precursor complex, Ni(NiL2)2Cl2 (L = β-mercaptoethylamine), on the g-C3N4 affords a monomeric Ni(ii) species involvi...
