Photocatalysis is the most promising method for achieving artificial photosynthesis, but a bottleneck encountered in finding materials that could efficiently promote water splitting reaction. The nontoxicity, low cost, and versatility of photocatalysts make them especially attractive this application. This study demonstrates small amounts α‐Fe 2 O 3 nanosheets can actively exfoliation g‐C N 4 , producing 2D hybrid exhibits tight interfaces an all‐solid‐state Z‐scheme junction. These...
Due to their unprecedented electronic, surface and optical properties, the atomic-thick graphene-like materials have aroused great interest. Compared with bulk counterparts, material can not only enhance internal but also gives rise new promising properties. Herein, carbon nitride (graphene-like C3N4) was synthesized via liquid exfoliation from graphitic (g-C3N4) in 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BUT) for first time. And C3N4 characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM),...
Work function strongly impacts the surficial charge distribution, especially for metal-support electrocatalysts when a built-in electric field (BEF) is constructed. Therefore, studying correlation between work and BEF crucial understanding intrinsic reaction mechanism. Herein, we present Pt@CoOx electrocatalyst with large difference (ΔΦ) strong BEF, which shows outstanding hydrogen evolution activity in neutral medium 4.5-fold mass higher than 20 % Pt/C. Both experimental theoretical results...
The visible light absorption of g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> was extended through controlling the synthesis temperature, and thus enhanced visible/UV photocatalytic activity. Moreover, can also be used as a photoelectrochemical sensor.
Abstract Electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction at near-ambient temperatures requires a complex inventory of protons, hydroxyls, carbonate ions and alkali-metal the cathode anode to be managed, necessitating use ion-selective membranes regulate pH. Anion-exchange provide an alkaline environment, allowing low cell voltages suppression hydrogen evolution while maintaining high conversion efficiencies. However, local conditions presence alkali cations lead problematic formation even precipitation....
Abstract A novel graphene‐like MoS 2 /C 3 N 4 (GL‐MoS ) composite photocatalyst has been synthesized by a facile ethylene glycol (EG)‐assisted solvothermal method.

g-C3N4 is a promising visible-light-driven photocatalyst for H2 evolution reaction; however, the achievement of high photocatalytic performance primarily limited by low separation efficiency photogenerated charge carriers and partly restricted slow kinetics transfer. 2D can significantly improve generation, transfer, efficiencies. The g-C3N4-based Z-scheme heterostructure further enhance charge-carrier simultaneously increase redox ability, thereby boosting performance. Here we report...

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to multi-carbon chemicals over Cu-derived catalysts is currently restricted by the low faradaic efficiency (FE) and production rate C2+ products. Here, we report tandem gas diffusion electrodes yielding products at simultaneously high FE via sequential on two independent, selective, adjacent catalyst layers. The possess intrinsic benefits lower onset potential higher partial current densities compared bare copper electrodes. Through balancing CO generation...
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 provides an opportunity to reach carbon neutrality, by which emissions from fuel consumption can be converted back fuels. The challenge is explore materials with high charge separation efficiency and effective adsorption capacity boost the photoreduction CO2.
