Two-dimensional carbon-based nanocomposites for photocatalytic energy generation and environmental remediation applications
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2017, 8, 1571–1600, doi:10.3762/bjnano.8.159
- of the most abundant elements on the earth. In the past two decades, carbon-based materials such as graphene, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), fullerenes and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been explored for various applications such as Li-ion batteries [22], supercapacitors [23], energy storage [24
- scientific community such as heteroatom doping [34], noble metal doping [35], coupling with semiconductors [36] and nanocomposite formation with carbon-based materials, such as graphene [37] and g-C3N4 [38], to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency. Among the various types of nanocomposites, the materials
- focussed our review on only two of the 2D morphology of carbon materials, graphene and g-C3N4, and their nanocomposites for photocatalytic energy generation and environmental remediation applications. In this review, we firstly discuss the synthetic procedures and salient properties of these two 2D carbon
Calculations of helium separation via uniform pores of stanene-based membranes
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2015, 6, 2470–2476, doi:10.3762/bjnano.6.256
- graphene and silicene remains an experimental challenge [10]. Other single atom thick, 2D membranes, such as pristine g-C3N4 and graphdiyne, have been reported for hydrogen purification but are not suitable for helium separation due to their large pores [8]. Therefore, the development of new, pristine, two
Enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution by combining water soluble graphene with cobalt salts
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 1167–1174, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.128
- ][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Specifically, graphene has been involved in photocatalytic hydrogen production systems [34], such as TiO2-(N)RGO-Pt [35][36][37][38], g-C3N4-RGO-Pt [39], CdS-RGO-Pt [40][41][42][43], MoS2-NRGO [44][45], EY-RGO-Pt [46] and BiVO4-RGO-Ru/SrTiO3:Rh [47] (RGO: reduced graphene
Enhancement of photocatalytic H2 evolution of eosin Y-sensitized reduced graphene oxide through a simple photoreaction
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 801–811, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.92
- under visible light irradiation. Eosin Y (EY), a xanthene dye, is a very good sensitizer [13][14][15][16][17][18]. EY has been used to sensitize various matrixes such as TiO2 [13], Na2Ti2O4(OH)2 nanotubes [14], g-C3N4 [15], and α-[AlSiW11(H2O)O39]5− [18], and the sensitized photocatalysts are
Biomolecule-assisted synthesis of carbon nitride and sulfur-doped carbon nitride heterojunction nanosheets: An efficient heterojunction photocatalyst for photoelectrochemical applications
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 770–777, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.89
- : graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4); heterojunction; photoelectrochemical; photocatalysis; sulfur doping; Introduction Over the past few years, graphitic carbon nitride (CN) has attracted significant research attention in visible-light-driven photocatalysis because of its unique physical and chemical
Nanostructure sensitization of transition metal oxides for visible-light photocatalysis
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 696–710, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.82
- interestingly, valence electrons may be directly excited from graphene into the CB of TiO2 under visible light illumination, so that graphene may be used as a photosensitizer. The authors also investigated the graphene–g-C3N4 interface by hybrid functional DFT methods and found a band gap (around 70 meV
- ) forming an electron–hole puddle in a g-C3N4-supported graphene monolayer [100]. Song and co-workers observed an enhancement of the photoconversion efficiency up to 15 times for a TiO2 nanotube composite electrode decorated by graphene oxide (GO) in comparison with pristine TiO2 nanotube arrays under
