Enhancing electron density of bulk g-C3N4 through phosphorus doping for promoting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction

Bo Yan et al.

Summary: The use of polyphosphate cyanogen as a phosphorus source to prepare phosphorus-doped bulk g-C3N4 with a coral-like hierarchical structure is beneficial for the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), by increasing electron density and accelerating the separation and transfer of photoexcited electron-hole pairs. This study opens up possibilities for further development of phosphorus-doped g-C3N4 for solar energy conversion to hydrogen energy.

Boosting photocatalytic hydrogen production from water by photothermally induced biphase systems

Shaohui Guo et al.

Summary: The study introduces an efficient biphase photocatalytic system composed of integrated photothermal-photocatalytic materials using charred wood substrates to convert liquid water to water steam and split hydrogen under light illumination without additional energy. This system significantly reduces the interface barrier and greatly lowers the transport resistance of hydrogen gas, achieving an impressive hydrogen production rate in particulate photocatalytic systems.

Regulating morphological and electronic structures of polymeric carbon nitrides by successive copolymerization and stream reforming for photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Ruirui Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a strategy coupling copolymerization and stream reforming successfully exfoliated the original PCNs into PCN-T-NSs nanosheets, enhancing their CO2 reduction activity and achieving a high apparent quantum efficiency. This strategy can be extended to assemble other carbon nitride nanosheets with enhanced performance for sustainable solar-to-chemical energy conversion, bringing new possibilities for constructing tailored carbon nitride polymers.
