研究目的
To synthesize nitrogen vacancy modified graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with large surface area and investigate its photocatalytic H2-evolution activity under visible light.
研究成果
The nitrogen vacancy modified g-C3N4 exhibited enhanced visible light absorption, larger specific surface area, and improved charge separation efficiency, leading to significantly higher photocatalytic H2 evolution performance and stability. This work provides a new approach for developing efficient metal-free photocatalysts.
研究不足
The study focuses on the synthesis and photocatalytic performance of nitrogen vacancy modified g-C3N4, but does not explore the scalability of the synthesis method or the economic feasibility of large-scale production.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis involved two times heat treatment of urea to produce g-C3N4 with nitrogen vacancies.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Urea was used as the precursor for g-C3N4 synthesis.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included XRD, FTIR, XPS, EPR SEM, TEM, DRS, and PL. Materials included urea and a ceramic crucible.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Urea was heated to 550°C for 2 h to produce g-C3N4, which was then heat-treated at 650°C under N2 atmosphere to introduce nitrogen vacancies.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring H2 evolution rate under visible light.
