An efficient strategy to boost photoelectrochemical water oxidation of g-C3N4 films modified with NiO as cocatalyst by Lingling Bi, Jiahao Zhan, Wenhao Zhang, Zhenzhou Wu, Weichuan Xu, Xiaobo Liang, Lijing Zhang, Bin Yan, Chunyi Xu

“…However, a significant technical challenge is that the contact between the g-C3N4 layer and the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate is suboptimal, as well as the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes is grievous, directly affecting the effective charge transport and the overall photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, we fabricated a g-C3N4 thin photoanode through simple chemical vapor deposition, NiO cocatalyst was modified on the surface of g-C3N4 thin photoanode via electro-deposition and followed by calcination, aiming at improving the transfer of photogenerated charge carriers. …”
