Post-functionalization of graphitic carbon nitride for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology(2023)
摘要
In this work we report the feasible modification of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) polymer through a post-functionalization progress. The resultant photocatalyst exhibits boron doping and mesoporous structure with a high surface area of 125 m2/g, leading in an increased surface activity for photocatalytic water splitting reaction. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, PL emission spectra and UV-Vis spectra were used to detect the properties of as-prepared samples. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, boron is proposed to dope in the g-C3N4 lattice. Optical studies indicated that boron doped g-C3N4 exhibits enhanced and extended light absorbance in the visible-light region and a much lower intensity of PL emission spectra compared to pure g-C3N4. As a result, boron doped g-C3N4 shows activity of 10.2 times higher than the pristine g-C3N4 for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. This work may provide a way to design efficient and mesoporous photocatalysts through post modification.
