摘要
Rational design of photocatalyst with efficient performance in water splitting is highly desired for solar energy utilization. In this work, a simple and facile strategy was developed to synthesize Mo doped graphic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) by a two-step thermal treatment process. As obtained product exhibits sheet-like morphology with porous structure, and the formation mechanism could be ascribed to the exfoliation effect in thermal environment. Photocatalytic property investigation reveals that Mo doped g-C3N4 nanosheets present greatly improved hydrogen evolution rate of 1.6 mmol g(-1) h(-1) under visible light, which is about 9.4 times higher than that of pristine g-C3N4. The improved performance could be well attributed to its enhanced visible light absorption, well suppressed carrier recombination and greatly increased specific surface area. Accordingly, our work provides a promising and straight forward way to develop advanced photocatalyst with high efficiency for renewable energy generation. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
