Type-II CuFe2O4/Graphitic Carbon Nitride Heterojunctions for High-Efficiency Photocatalytic and Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Generation

Amir Mehtab et al.

Summary: Solar water splitting for hydrogen energy storage has become increasingly important, and g-C3N4 is an ideal photocatalyst for this process due to its excellent alignment with water redox potentials. In this study, we developed a semiconductor heterostructure of g-C3N4 with CuFe2O4 nanoparticles, which greatly enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency. The CuFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterostructures exhibited up to a 2.5-fold improvement in catalytic efficiency, with an apparent quantum yield of hydrogen production reaching 25%. This improvement is attributed to the introduction of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles, which provide more active sites and reduce electron-hole recombination.
