Abstract

Polymer-based photoanodes for the water oxidation reaction have recently garnered attention, with carbon nitride standing out due to its numerous advantages. This study focuses on synthesizing crystalline carbon nitride photoanodes, specifically poly(heptazine imide) (PHI), and explores the role of salts in their production. Using a binary molten salt system, optimal photocurrent density of 365 μA·cm−2 was achieved with a voltage bias of 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode under AM 1.5G illumination, this performance is ca. 18 times to the pristine PCN photoanode. In this process, NH₄SCN facilitates the growth of SnS2 seeding layers, while K2CO3 enhances film crystallinity. In situ electrochemical analyses show that this salt combination improves photoexcited charge transfer efficiency and minimizes resistance in the SnS2 layer. This study clarifies the role of salts in synthesizing the PHI photoanode and provides insights for designing high-crystallinity carbon nitride-based functional films.
