Facial synthesis of dandelion-like g-C3N4/Ag with high performance of photocatalytic hydrogen production

A Comprehensive Review of Graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-C3N4)–Metal Oxide-Based Nanocomposites: Potential for Photocatalysis and Sensing

“…Besides, the strong peaks at 815 cm −1 are attributed to the s-triazine units. The broad range peak between 3000 cm −1 and 3500 cm −1 , is due to the N-H stretching and the remaining water molecules in the structure [35][36][37][38][39]. The BET specific surface areas were estimated to be 37.8, 73.7 and 65.6 m 2 •g −1 for g-C 3 N 4 synthesized at the calcination temperature of 450, 550 and 650 • C, respectively.…”

MnS/Mn0.5Cd0.5S nanorods modified with Cu2MoS4 nanoplates for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…[1][2][3] Semiconductor photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is a technology that started in the 1970s, which uses solar energy to break down water through a photocatalyst to produce hydrogen and is considered an effective way to address the increasing energy consumption and environmental pollution problems. [4][5][6] A variety of photocatalysts have been investigated, including metal oxides (TiO 2 , [7][8][9] Cu 2 O 10,11 ), metal sulphides (CdS, [12][13][14] Mn x Cd 1−x S [15][16][17] ), g-C 3 N 4 , [18][19][20] MXene, [21][22][23] etc. Among these, Mn x Cd 1−x S is of increasing interest as a multi-component solid solution with a tunable energy band structure and good light absorption.…”

A novel g-C3N4 nanosheet/Ag3PO4/α-Bi2O3 ternary dual Z-scheme heterojunction with increased light absorption and expanded specific surface area for efficient photocatalytic removal of TC

“…Visible-light responsive graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) is a promising photocatalytic semiconductor owing to its extreme stability and environment friendly preparation process, which has attracted more and more attention in the field of photocatalysis for hydrogen production, CO 2 reduction and antibiotic degradation. 11–14 However, the photocatalytic activity of pristine g-C 3 N 4 is severely limited due to its poor separation of the photo-induced charge carriers, low specific surface area and insufficient absorption of visible light in actual application. 15 Morphology modification and construction of heterojunctions are effective strategies to overcome these shortcomings.…”
