Nanocomposite Marvels: Unveiling Breakthroughs in Photocatalytic Water Splitting for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution

“…171 Generally, g-C 3 N 4 has an optical wavelength of 460 nm and a band gap 2.7 eV, which means that it works with visible light. 172,173 Additionally, the other attributes of g-C 3 N 4 include special facet properties, nonpoisonous character, abundance, and flexibility that lead to splitting of water with solar irradiation. 174,175 Bulk g-C 3 N 4 has, however, a low photocatalytic efficiency because of disadvantages of high rates electron−hole pair recombination, the small g-C 3 N 4 size (∼10m 2 /g), a tiny agile facet for connection, low surface response kinetics, insufficient visible absorption (less than 460 nm), mild oxidation, grain boundary implications, and poor charge mobility.…”

“…Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) possesses distinctive characteristics as a metal-free polymer and an n-type semiconductor, exhibiting exceptional attributes in terms of electrical, optical, structural, and physiochemical properties . Generally, g-C 3 N 4 has an optical wavelength of 460 nm and a band gap 2.7 eV, which means that it works with visible light. , Additionally, the other attributes of g-C 3 N 4 include special facet properties, nonpoisonous character, abundance, and flexibility that lead to splitting of water with solar irradiation. , Bulk g-C 3 N 4 has, however, a low photocatalytic efficiency because of disadvantages of high rates electron–hole pair recombination, the small g-C 3 N 4 size (∼10m 2 /g), a tiny agile facet for connection, low surface response kinetics, insufficient visible absorption (less than 460 nm), mild oxidation, grain boundary implications, and poor charge mobility . Various modifications have been implemented to limit these, including strategies like adjusting the band gap, employing micro- or nanoscale engineering, adopting bionic approaches, integrating cocatalysts, and enhancing surface properties. , The electrons produced in the presence of light are driven by a large thermodynamic driving power, suggesting that they have a high H 2 evolution potential in order to be capable of reducing various small molecules including H 2 O, CO 2 , and O 2 .…”

Experimental Analysis for the Performance Assessment and Characteristics of Enhanced Magnesium Composites Reinforced with Nano-Sized Silicon Carbide Developed Using Powder Metallurgy

“…1 Magnesium is a ductile material so it helps for easy forming and machining operations; higher corrosion resistance occurred in some of the magnesium alloys. 2 The automobile industry uses magnesium alloys for making vehicle parts like steering wheels, wheel rims, and seat frames in large quantities 3 and power train applications. 4 Magnesium alloys are used as implants in the human body because of their mechanical characteristics that are similar to human bone.…”
