Hydrophilic polypyrrole and g-C₃N₄ co-decorated ZnO nanorod arrays for stable and efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting

Abstract

Hydrophilic polypyrrole and g-C3N4 co-decorated ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized for stable and efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Novel highly efficient ternary ZnO wrapped PPy-NTs/g-C3N4 nanocomposite as an epoxy coating for corrosion protection

“…Notably, the peak at 27.3° for g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (Fig. 2 a) was slightly displaced to 27.6° compared to that of bulk g-C 3 N 4 sheets, indicating a smaller interlayer spacing among the individual sheets that were initially formed 45 , 46 . Additionally, due to the sharp reduction in the g-C 3 N 4 layers' planar distance during protonation and exfoliation processes, the strength of the 13.3° peak for the nanosheets is less obvious and significantly reduced compared to that of bulk g-C 3 N 4 45 , displaying a single-layered structure.…”
