Drawing inspiration from the natural process of photosynthesis found in plant leaves, scientists are exploring use photocatalysis to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable products using solar light and water. Photocatalytic CO2 conversion has emerged as one efficient green approaches revitalize environment greenhouse gas pollution. Owing its visible-range band gap, non-toxicity, ease synthesis at economic costs stability under irradiation, g-C3N4 most explored photocatalyst. However,...
Novel structured thiadiazole-attached carbon nitrides are first synthesized via sintering 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, demonstrating excellent performances towards photocatalytic H 2 evolution under visible light irradiation.
While carbon nitrides have emerged as leading materials in photocatalysis over the past two decades, innovative and facile approaches for porosity engineering (to enhance effective surface area) atomistic heteroatom doping boost catalytic activity) are presently being hunted. We herein report first synthesis of mesoporous sulfur-doped C3N5 (mesoporous (MSCNs)) with sulfoxide-functionalization via pyrolysis 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, utilizing nanoporous silica templates 2D 3D porous...
Abstract Carbon nitrides, metal‐free semiconducting materials, have unique molecular structure and properties which inspired researchers to utilize them as photocatalysts for the sustainable production of hydrogen. However, they suffer from a few drawbacks including fast charge‐carrier recombination rate low charge transfer efficiency owing their amorphous less conducting wall remain significant challenge achieving breakthrough in photocatalytic water splitting. Herein, study reports...
Abstract Borophene, an anisotropic metallic Dirac material exhibits superlative physical and chemical properties. While the lack of bandgap restricts its electronic chip applications, insufficient charge carrier density electrochemical/catalytically active sites, energy storage catalysis applications. Fluorination borophene can induce yield local electron injection within crystallographic lattice. Herein, a facile synthesis fluoroborophene with tunable fluorine content through potassium...
