Over two-orders of magnitude enhancement of the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of carbon nitride via mediator-free decoration with gold-organic microspheres

A mediator and Pt free photocatalytic system is created for H production over AuNPs/g-C N hybrids under visible light irradiation. In contrast to pure g-C N and state-of-the-art 3 wt% Pt loaded g-C N , ingeniously decorating minute AuNPs onto g-C N can enhance the catalytic activity by about 348 and...

Description
Summary:A mediator and Pt free photocatalytic system is created for H production over AuNPs/g-C N hybrids under visible light irradiation. In contrast to pure g-C N and state-of-the-art 3 wt% Pt loaded g-C N , ingeniously decorating minute AuNPs onto g-C N can enhance the catalytic activity by about 348 and 25 times, respectively.
