An efficient interfacial TiN interaction of g-C3N4/TiH1.92 type-II heterojunctions photocatalyst facilitates an enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting with improved photoinduced electron-hole pairs separation and transport ability.

Under visible-light irradiation, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is considered a favorable photocatalyst for hydrogen (H2) production from water splitting. However, its poor H2 production and fast recombination rate of charge...

Extending light absorption from visible to near-infrared (NIR) light regions and plasmon-induced hot electrons produced from the decay of surface plasmons of metallic nanoparticles are of significance in photocatalytic field....
