Abstract
Construction of a proper electron donor-acceptor (D-A) microenvironment through introducing a suitable chemical moiety is an effective strategy to facilitate photogenerated charge transfer in a cascade step actively, which can boost the corresponding photocatalytic performance significantly. Herein, a series of naphthalenediimide (NDIy), possessing unique electron-deficient aromatic imides, were introduced to prepare D-A structured g-C3N4 (CN) derivative hybrid photocatalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) from water splitting. Remarkably, the modification with NDIy all significantly improved the PHE performance, in which 1%NDINH2@CN exhibits the best photocatalytic activity (14.57 mmolꞏg−1ꞏh−1), exceeding 5.6 times over the unmodified pure CN under the same conditions. The enhanced PHE activity is highly associated with the interfacial D-A interactions between NDIy and CN, which also lays the foundation for the further rational design of analogs toward various types of photocatalytic reactions.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
