Abstract:
Photocatalysis clean hydrogen production is a modern technology for simultaneously addressing and solving energy and environmental issues, of which the most critical part is to develop a highly efficient photocatalyst. In this work, we rationally designed and synthesized a metal-free 2D/2D boron/g-C3N4 nanosheet heterojunction (B-CN) through an electrostatic self assembly thermal induction combined with ultrasound-assisted technology. The optimized photocatalyst 3.0B-CN possesses a hydrogen generation rate 35 times that of g-C3N4, which provided an impressive H-2 evolution photocatalytic activity. The tight heterojunction architecture via the coupling of two-dimensional boron nanosheets and g-C3N4 nanosheets realizes the enhanced visible light absorption, the increasing carrier concentration, and the rapid transfer of interfacial charge and thus hinders the electron-hole recombination. The coupling of two 2D metal-free nanosheet materials for constructing a 2D/2D layered heterojunction in our work offers pioneering tactics for the design and synthesis of green nonmetal 2D photocatalytic HER materials in the future.
