Promoting Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Activity of Graphitic Carbon Nitride with Hole-Transfer Agents.

ABSTRACT: Visible light-driven photocatalytic reduction of protons to H2 is considered a promising way of solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Effective transfer of the photogenerated electrons and holes to the surface of the photocatalyst by minimizing their recombination is essential for achieving a high photocatalytic activity. In general, a sacrificial electron donor is used as a hole scavenger to remove photogenerated holes from the valence band for the continuation of the photocatalytic hydrogen (H2 ) evolution process. Here, for the first time, the hole-transfer dynamics from Pt-loaded sol-gel-prepared graphitic carbon nitride (Pt-sg-CN) photocatalyst were investigated using different adsorbed hole acceptors along with a sacrificial agent (ascorbic acid). A significant increment (4.84?times) in H2 production was achieved by employing phenothiazine (PTZ) as the hole acceptor with continuous H2 production for 3?days. A detailed charge-transfer dynamic of the photocatalytic process in the presence of the hole acceptors was examined by time-resolved photoluminescence and in?situ electron paramagnetic resonance studies.
