Interfacial TiN bonding of a g-C3N4/TiH1.92 type-II heterojunction photocatalyst significantly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting

Warisha Tahir et al.

Summary: Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a promising metal-free photocatalyst for overall water splitting under visible light illumination. However, its poor charge carrier separation and transfer efficiency limit its applications. In this study, a highly efficient type-II heterojunction system based on exfoliated titanium hydride nanoparticles and g-C3N4 nanosheets is fabricated for photocatalytic water splitting. The resulting heterostructures exhibit a significantly increased hydrogen evolution rate compared to bare g-C3N4, indicating their potential for efficient H2 evolution under visible light.

Negative inductive effect enhances charge transfer driving in sulfonic acid functionalized graphitic carbon nitride with efficient visible-light photocatalytic performance

Min Zhang et al.

Summary: Efficient photogenerated carrier migration/separation is crucial for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4. In this study, sulfonic acid group-functionalized g-C3N4 (SACN) was synthesized and further strengthened through a facile-solid-state thermal reaction. The negative inductive effect of the sulfonic acid groups improved charge transfer dynamics and effectively inhibited recombination. Additionally, the negative inductive effect induced charge redistribution and enhanced the reduction ability of photo-induced electrons in g-C3N4.

Ha Tran Huu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates a one-pot solid-state reaction method for preparing MoS2/g-C3N4 composites, with the physicochemical characterization revealing varying component contents at different synthesis temperatures.
