Photocatalytic hydrogen generation from a methanol-water mixture in the presence of g-C3N4 and graphene/g-C3N4

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), possessing high thermal and chemical stability, non-toxicity, facile synthesis, and low band gap energy is a promising candidate for photocatalytic applications. In this study, bulk and exfoliated g-C3N4 were synthesised from different precursors (melamine and urea). Moreover, the surface of bulk g-C3N4 and exfoliated g-C3N4 was modified with graphene (0.5 wt% and 1 wt%) aiming to obtain a prolonged carrier lifetime. The effect of g-C3N4 synthesis from various precursors and the influence of graphene content on the photocatalytic activity during the degradation of a water-methanol mixture under UVC irradiation were examined, in comparison to commercial P25. Hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide were the decomposition products; hydrogen was the main product of decomposition, whereas CH4 and CO resulting from the reduction of CO2 were generated in a significantly smaller amount. All the produced photocatalysts, whether pure or modified with graphene, exhibited higher activity than the commercial photocatalyst P25.
