Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is an immensely effective method for producing hydrogen.
Abstract Photocatalysis on pristine g‐C 3 N 4 (CN) often suffers from fast recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Herein, we demonstrate the superior photocatalytic performance free base tetrakis(4‐carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) – (CN/TCPP) hybrids synthesised by a facile ultrasound aided impregnation. Structural morphological characterisation confirmed successful formation hybrid via noncovalent π–π stacking. Optical/electrochemical characterisation, as well DFT study,...
While g‐C 3 N 4 gains increasing attention as a polymeric semiconductor material for photo(electrochemical)applications, various strategies are deployed enhancing the performance of , among which heterojunction engineering remains most preferred due to its high simplicity and efficiency. This work uses facile wet impregnation obtain synergistic /CuO with reduced interfacial resistance. Maximum is exhibited at CuO loading 5% (by weight). The photocatalytic efficiency can be established by...
Sustainable energy harvesting has emerged as a frontier research area and relentless efforts are being put in to tackle the tenacious issues of global warming crisis. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is regarded promising technology produce H2. In this study, we report facile fabrication ZnS modified SrTiO3/Bi2S3 (STO/Bi2S3) heterojunction photoanode for PEC splitting. Ternary was fabricated using sol-gel followed by SILAR methods. Coupling wide band gap STO with narrow Bi2S3...
