Descripción
Sumario:Defect modified carbon nitride (CN) was prepared from a freeze-dried solution of dicyandiamide and NH<inf>4</inf>Cl. Nanocomposites of the defect modified CN and carbon materials were prepared to overcome some of the disadvantages of CN and enhance photocatalytic H<inf>2</inf> production from water splitting. The photocatalysts were thoroughly characterized including porosity, crystallinity, electrochemistry, chemical composition and optical absorption. Inclusion of NH<inf>4</inf>Cl produced an increase in surface area with a corresponding increase in active sites. The composite N-D-CN/1QD-D demonstrated the best charge separation efficiency and reduced recombination of the electron-hole pairs, in addition to improved charge density and a reduced charge transfer barrier, which was reflected in H<inf>2</inf> production 3.6 times greater than from pristine CN.
