In-situ formation of nanosized 1T-phase MoS2 in B-doped carbon nitride for high efficient visible-light-driven H2 production

Carbon nitride based Schottky junction with a Ni–Mo synergistic interaction for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production

“…Notably, similar FT-IR spectra of CN and CN/xNiMoP 2 indicate that the structure of CN is not changed significantly after incorporating NiMoP 2 nanoparticles. 32,47 The loading mass of NiMoP 2 on the composite material CN/3NiMoP 2 is also analyzed by TGA. From Fig.…”

“…In addition, the in situ loading method is one of the most effective methods to fabricate Schottky junctions because of the strong interaction between the semiconductor and the cocatalyst. [32][33][34] For instance, in situ grown Ni 2 P nanocrystals on CN nanosheets exhibited enhanced separation and extraction of photogenerated carriers from CN compared with Ni 2 P/CN prepared by the self-assembly method. This is because a distinctive Ni(δ + )-N(δ − ) chemical bond was formed between CN and Ni 2 P by the in situ procedure.…”

Nanoparticle formation in nanoporous structures and applications

“…Among the various possible tools to control the adsorption/desorption processes and the growth of nanoparticles, light irradiation revealed to be a particularly efficient method [11][12][13].…”

Metallic plasmons significantly boosted visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting

“…20 Despite its advantages, bare g-C 3 N 4 appears to be restricted in terms of low photocatalytic efficiency and applicability because of poor light absorption and fast recombination of photoexcited charge carriers. To overcome these shortcomings, researchers have endeavoured to develop new approaches, including protonation, polymerization, 21 increasing surface area, 22 doping, 23 controlling morphology, 24 and coupling with other semiconducting materials 25 to enhance charge transfer and separation, thus improving the photocatalytic activity of g-C 3 N 4 .…”
