Facile Approach to Synthesize g-PAN/g-C3N4 Composites with Enhanced Photocatalytic H2 Evolution Activity
Abstract
Novel composites consisting of graphitized polyacrylonitrile (g-PAN) nanosheets grown on layered g-C3N4 sheets were synthesized through a facile one-step thermal condensation of PAN and melamine for the first time. Photoluminescence spectroscopy and the photoelectrochemical measurements reveal that g-PAN nanosheets act as effective electron transfer channels to facilitate charge carrier separation in g-PAN/g-C3N4 composites. The g-PAN/g-C3N4 composites exhibit significantly enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance for H2 evolution over pristine g-C3N4. The 5.0 wt % g-PAN/g-C3N4 composite has optimal H2 evolution rate of 37 μmol h(-1), exceeding 3.8 times over pristine g-C3N4. We have proposed a possible mechanism for charge separation and transfer in the g-PAN/g-C3N4 composites to explain the enhanced photocatalytic performance.

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.
