Enhanced Driving Force and Charge Separation Efficiency of Protonated g-C3N4 for Photocatalytic O2 Evolution
Abstract
Photocatalysts based on g-C 3 N 4 by loading cocatalysts or constructing heterojunctions have shown great potential in solar-driven water oxidation. However, the intrinsic drawbacks of g-C 3 N 4, such as poor mass diffusion and charge separation efficiency, remain as the bottleneck to achieve highly efficient water oxidation. Here we report a simple protonation method to improve the activity of g-C 3 N 4 . Studies using valence band X-ray photoelectron spectra and steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy reveal that the promotion of catalytic ability originates from the higher thermodynamical driving force and longer-lived charge separation state, which may provide guidance in designing efficient polymeric semiconductor photocatalysts with desirable kinetics for water oxidation.

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.
