摘要
The rational fabrication of an efficient heterojunction is critical to the enhancement of photocatalytic hydrogen(H_(2)) evolution performance.Herein,a new-fashioned graphitic-carbon nitride(g-C_(3) N_(4)) based isotype step-scheme(S-scheme) heterojunction composed of sulfur-doped and sulfur-free active sites is developed by liquid sulfur-mediation of exfoliated g-C_(3) N_(4).Particularly,the liquid sulfur not only contributes to the full contact between sulfur species and exfoliated g-C_(3) N_(4),but also creates sulfur-doping and abundant pores,since self-gas foaming effect of sulfur vapor.Moreover,the S-doped and S-free active sites located in the structural unit of C_(3) N_(4) jointly construct a typical sulfur-doped g-C_(3) N_(4)/g-C_(3) N_(4) isotype step-scheme heterojunction,which endows highly efficient photocatalytic reaction process.Therefore,the optimal sample possesses remarkable photocatalytic H_(2) evolution activity(5548.1 μmol g^(-1) h^(-1)) and robust durability.Most importantly,the investigation will open up a new path for the exploration of other carbon-based isotype S-scheme heterojunctions.
