In this work, a highly efficient PCN‐KCl (KCl‐modified polymeric carbon nitride) nanosheet photocatalyst was synthesized with the assistance of KCl. The as‐prepared PCN‐KCl catalyst shows a more than 30‐fold enhancement in the photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution from water compared to the pristine PCN. More importantly, when PCN‐KCl was composited with a second catalyst (Pd nanoparticles), the simultaneous production and utilization of active H species for alkenes hydrogenation was achieved by visible light irradiation under ambient conditions.
The development of cost-effective and high-performance catalysts for the production of hydrogen via electrocatalytic water splitting is crucial for meeting the increasing energy demand and expanding the hydrogen economy. In...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
