Enhanced photocatalytic H2 production over dual-cocatalyst-modified g-C3N4 heterojunctions

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(18)63189-4

Abstract

Abstract:

Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited on the surface of g-C₃N₄ (CN) by an in situ calcination method. NiS was successfully loaded onto the composites by a hydrothermal method. The results showed that the 10 wt%-NiS/1.0 wt%-Ag/CN composite exhibits excellent photocatalytic H₂ generation performance under solar-light irradiation. An H₂ production rate of 9.728 mmol·g^-1·h^-1 was achieved, which is 10.82-, 3.45-, and 2.77-times higher than those of pure g-C₃N₄, 10 wt%-NiS/CN, and 1.0 wt%-Ag/CN composites, respectively. This enhanced photocatalytic H₂ generation can be ascribed to the co-decoration of Ag and NiS on the surface of g-C₃N₄, which efficiently improves light harvesting capacity, photogenerated charge carrier separation, and photocatalytic H₂ production kinetics. Thus, this study demonstrates an effective strategy for constructing excellent g-C₃N₄-related composite photocatalysts for H₂ production by using different co-catalysts.

Key words: Photocatalysis, Photocatalytic H₂ generation, g-C₃N₄, Ag, NiS
