Rapid and facile synthesis of Z-scheme ZnO/g-C3N4 heterostructure as efficient visible light-driven photocatalysts for dye degradation and hydrogen evolution reaction

Yarabahally R. Girish et al.

Summary: The coupling of two different photocatalytically active semiconductors is becoming popular due to its ability to enhance photocatalytic activity. In this study, ZnO/g-C3N4 heterojunction hybrids were generated by mixing dispersed ZnO and g-C3N4 nanoparticles. The composite showed significant degradation of methylene blue dye and improved hydrogen evolution reaction activity, attributed to the increased charge-transfer rate and the presence of exposed edge sites in the heterocomponents.
