“…The characteristic peak of N for g‐C 3 N 4 (398.4 eV) was seen to be slightly shifted to 399.0 eV after the deposition of Cu and Au NPs on g‐C 3 N 4 . Similar shifts in peak positions have been observed by the addition of metal oxide NPs such as NiMoO 4 over pure g‐C 3 N 4 . In addition, the high resolution XPS (HR‐XPS) spectrum of Cu 2p can be deconvoluted into two asymmetric peaks located at 930.2 eV (Cu 2p 3/2 ) and 949.9 eV (Cu 2p 1/2 ) [Figure (e)].…”

In the present study, a new photoactive bimetallic Cu-Au@g-C 3 N 4 catalytic system was designed by impregnating Cu and Au NPs over the graphitic carbon nitrite (g-C 3 N 4 ) surface. Characterization of the catalyst using multiple techniques illustrated that very small-sized Cu and Au NPs were monodispersed on the g-C 3 N 4 surface, which were obtained by the in situ reduction of the metal salts using sodium borohydride. The as-synthesized bimetallic Cu-Au@g-C 3 N 4 catalyst efficiently catalyzed the hydroxylation of benzene (HOB) via C-H activation [a]

“…Among all the strategies, the construction of heterojunction by two‐dimensional (2D) layered structures with appropriate conduction and valence band potentials is one of the effective method to enhance the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers during the photocatalytic degradation process. In this way, g‐C 3 N 4 is a two‐dimensional metal‐free conjugated crystalline sheet material with a bandgap energy of 2.7 eV, which has concerned intense research interest due to its environmental friendly feature, appealing electronic structure, low‐cost excellent chemical and thermal stability . The conduction band and valence band edges of g‐C 3 N 4 , exist ∼ −1.12 and +1.6 eV, making it active under visible light as an efficient photocatalyst .…”

Herein, we report the preparation and visible light-triggered photocatalytic investigation of nitrogen-rich graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets intercalated ZnO\MgÀ Al LDH (2D \2D) ternary nanocomposite. The ZnO nanoparticles, unique structured LDH, and g-C 3 N 4 are intercalated well by the hydrothermal treatment, showing a significant enhancement in the visible light absorption and corresponding photocatalytic activity. Formation of this new ternary nanocomposite was examined by using XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, FTIR, EDX, Elemental mapping, XPS and UV-Vis analysis. The ternary nanocomposite photocatalyst show remarkable performance towards the photodegradation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye. The ternary nanocomposite exhibited considerable improvement in the photocatalytic activity and is attributed to the N-rich g-C 3 N 4 and even distribution of ZnO\MgÀ Al LDH over the g-C 3 N 4 surface. This work offers a facile approach to prepare a novel visible light-response photocatalyst for photocatalytic dye degradation of organic pollutants.

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO ) has triggered extensive interest in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, owing to its narrow band gap and sufficiently positive valence band. However, some defects still exist to block the solar utilization efficiency and hydrogen evolution kinetics. Herein, the NiMoO semiconductor is combined with a BiVO photoanode, for the first time, and excellent PEC performance is achieved on the basis of heterojunction formation and favorable conductivity of NiMoO . In addition, it has been demonstrated that NiMoO promotes the light absorption ability, charge separation efficiency, and surface charge-transfer efficiency comprehensively. To further improve the photoconversion efficiency, cobalt phosphate, as an oxygen evolution reaction cocatalyst, is deposited on the above electrode and achieves a much enhanced utilization efficiency of 1.18 %, with a photocurrent density of 5.3 mA cm at 1.23 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode; this exceeds most results reported to date. This rational and unique photoanode construction provides a new thread for the photoelectrode designation.
