研究目的
To improve the efficiency of g-C3N4 towards solar-assisted oxidation of water by constructing an isotype g-C3N4/g-C3N4 heterojunction with homogeneous phosphorus doping to overcome the intrinsic drawback of rapid charge recombination of g-C3N4.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates that phosphorus doping and constructing an isotype junction can significantly enhance the photoelectrochemical performance of g-C3N4 for water oxidation. The isotype g-C3N4/P-g-C3N4 heterojunction achieves a notable photocurrent enhancement, attributed to efficient charge separation and migration. The findings provide insights into designing efficient g-C3N4-based photoelectrodes.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the potential for over doping and uncontrollable concentration of nitrogen defects at higher temperatures, which could negatively affect performance. Additionally, the photostability of the isotype electrode is slightly worse than that of pristine g-C3N4.
