Recent Advancement of the Current Aspects of g‐C₃N₄for its Photocatalytic Applications in Sustainable Energy System

Abstract

Being one of the foremost enticing and intriguing innovations, heterogeneous photocatalysis has also been used to effectively gather, transform, and conserve sustainable sun‘s radiation for the production of efficient and clean fossil energy as well as a wide range of ecological implications. The generation of solar fuel‐based water splitting and CO2 photoreduction is excellent for generating alternative resources and reducing global warming. Developing an inexpensive photocatalyst can effectively split water into hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2) sources, and carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuel sources, which is a crucial problem in photocatalysis. The metal‐free g‐C3N4 photocatalyst has a high solar fuel generation potential. This review covers the most recent advancements in g‐C3N4 preparation, including innovative design concepts and new synthesis methods, and novel ideas for expanding the light absorption of pure g‐C3N4 for photocatalytic application. Similarly, the main issue concerning research and prospects in photocatalysts based g‐C3N4 was also discussed. The current dissertation provides an overview of comprehensive understanding of the exploitation of the extraordinary systemic and characteristics, as well as the fabrication processes and uses of g‐C3N4.

Recent Advancement in Rational Design Modulation of MXene: A Voyage from Environmental Remediation to Energy Conversion and Storage

“…The sheltering process is based on the interface of infringed radiation with the surfaces and center of the material. [236][237][238] Absorbing, reflections, several reflectors on the outermost layer, and numerous interior reflective surfaces (inner scatterings) happen, whenever an electromagnetic radiation is directed at the material surface, as illustrated in Figure 12. Most radiation was reflecting (ER) as well as some radiation was hardly consumed nor returned and instead was transported (ET) via the opposite sides of the interface in the procedure described below.…”

“…Numerous viable strategies for efficient screening of electronic radiation across equipment and infrared waves on humans were already proposed. The sheltering process is based on the interface of infringed radiation with the surfaces and center of the material [236–238] . Absorbing, reflections, several reflectors on the outermost layer, and numerous interior reflective surfaces (inner scatterings) happen, whenever an electromagnetic radiation is directed at the material surface, as illustrated in Figure 12.…”

“…2.7 eV), an appropriate optical wavelength (ca. 460 nm), non-toxicity, high thermal durability (600 • C in air) and chemical durability (against acid, alkali, and organic solvents), and "earth-abundant" nature [13][14][15][16]. Figure 1 illustrate that PEC device applications of g−CN-based films have been soaring since 2016.…”
