CdIn₂S₄ microspheres embedded with mesoporous Zn-doped g-C₃N₄ ultrathin nanosheets for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Abstract

In this work, mesoporous Zn-doped g-C3N4 wrapped CdIn2S4 microsphere nanostructures were fabricated by a simple hydrothermal route. It is found that CdIn2S4/Zn-g-C3N4 nanocomposite exhibits the most efficient photocatalytic activities for...

Zinc-doped C4N3/BiOBr S-scheme heterostructured hollow spheres for efficient photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline

“…18 Nevertheless, half-metallic C 4 N 3 is seldomly used to construct S-scheme systems largely due to its narrow band gap and poor chemical affinity which makes the direct growth of other semiconductors from the C 4 N 3 surface difficult. Tian et al 19 prepared mesoporous Zn-doped g-C 3 N 4 wrapped CdIn 2 S 4 microsphere nanostructures by a simple hydrothermal method. Zn can partially replace the C element in the g-C 3 N 4 skeleton and enhance the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes.…”
