Silver Phosphate/Graphitic Carbon Nitride as an Efficient Photocatalytic Tandem System for Oxygen Evolution

Yang, Xiaofei, Tang, Hua, Xu, Jingsan, Antonietti, Markus, Shalom, Menny·2015·ChemSusChem

Abstract

Herein, we show the facile synthesis of an efficient silver phosphate/graphitic carbon nitride (Ag 3 PO 4/g‐C 3 N 4) photocatalyst for oxygen production and pollutant degradation by using electrostatically driven assembly and ion‐exchange processes. The composite materials demonstrate a sheet‐like C 3 N 4 structure, decorated with different Ag 3 PO 4 particles sizes. Detailed analysis of the reactions mechanism by electron‐spin resonance and radical‐capture agents strongly imply the formation of an in situ Z‐scheme by the evolution of small silver nanoparticles in the interface of the materials under illumination. The Ag nanoparticles improve charge separation within the composite material by acting as a storage and recombination center for electrons and holes from Ag 3 PO 4 and C 3 N 4, respectively. In addition, the photostability of Ag 3 PO 4 is enhanced relative to that of the bulk materials, which results in a stabilized heterojunction. We believe that this work provides new insight into the operation mechanism of composite photocatalysts for water splitting and opens the possibility for advanced photocatalysis based on the higher oxidation power of Ag 3 PO 4.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
