Abstract
In this study, g-C3N4 with boosted photocatalytic CO2 reduction was obtained through treatment of g-C3N4 by NaClO. The strong oxidation ability of NaClO induces enriched carbon vacancies in g-C3N4, increases the active sites, optimizes the band structure of g-C3N4, and significantly improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Photocatalytic activity of the 25 NCN sample is 4.07 times of that of the reference g-C3N4. The strategy in this presentation provides a green and convenient reference for treatment of g-C3N4 to offer highly efficiency photocatalyst for dual carbon strategy.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
