In this study, g-C3N4 nanosheets were combined with hollow polymeric ionic liquid spheres, resulting in a novel PILs-x/g-C3N4 system with layer gradients of electron structure. The PILs-x/g-C3N4 system exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity, making it promising for applications in energy and environmental fields.
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been considered as a promising organic semiconductor for photochemistry but under great challenges of severe recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, the weak ability of light harvesting, and other inherent defects. Herein, uniformed hollow polymeric ionic liquid spheres with layer gradients of electron structure were developed innovatively combining with g-C3N4 nanosheets driven by sonication and electrostatic forces. These two components can form a novel system due to the distinction of electron between poly(ionic liquids) (PILs) and g-C3N4. The novel as-developed PILs-x loaded on the g-C3N4 surface benefits the transfer and supplement of photoinduced electrons resulting from the effects of electronic reservoir . Meanwhile, the light harvesting of the PILs-x/g-C3N4 is also enhanced significantly. In addition, the ion modulated effect was studied by tuning the species of anion in PILs structure, achieving controllable regulation of photocatalytic activity. Benefiting from the above fascinating properties, the PILs-x/g-C3N4 system exhibit a significantly enhanced hydrogen evolution efficiency with Pt as co-catalyst under visible light irradiation compared with the Pt/PCN. This study opens a new sight to strengthen the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 by using functional hollow PILs with layer gradients of electron structure for various applications in energy and environmental fields.
