Abstract:
Photocatalytic water splitting represents a promising approach for solar energy conversion and hydrogen production. Polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) exhibits potential but suffers from charge recombination and low specific surface area. This study introduces a novel LaOBr@PCN one-photon excited heterojunction designed to mitigate these challenges. By anchoring Melon, a PCN precursor, onto LaOBr through acid-base coordination followed by in-situ thermal polymerization, three-dimensional hierarchical PCN nanosheets are fabricated on LaOBr microplates. This structure increases the specific surface area, exposes more active sites, enhances lightharvesting ability, and improves charge carrier separation. Consequently, the optimized LaOBr@PCN achieves hydrogen and oxygen production rates of 69.9 mu mol/h and 34.7 mu mol/h, respectively. This work provides a viable strategy for developing advanced PCN-based composite photocatalysts.
