Synthesis and modification of g-C3N4 semiconductor catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution: A review
Photocatalytic water decomposition with the participation of sunlight and semiconductor catalysts to obtain the production of hydrogen is considered to be the most promising strategy to supply green and clean energy. The photocatalysts with high activity as well as high stability are particularly important and urgent for efficient hydrogen production reaction. As a two-dimensional semiconductor material, graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is diffusely used for photocatalyzing water decomposition reactions because of its excellent stability, appropriate band gap as well as suitable energy band structure. Within this paper, the preparation as well as strategies for modifying g-C3N4 photocatalysts and the application in the field of photocatalytic water decomposition are introduced detailedly from regulatory strategies such as structural design, element doping, co-catalyst modification and heterogeneous structure construction. Simultaneously, the mechanism of the modified g-C3N4 semiconductor materials using different strategies in improving photocatalytic hydrogen production performance is deeply analyzed. Finally, the potential and challenges of g-C3N4 semiconductor catalysts in the application of photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction are prospected.
