Black phosphorus supported Ni2P co-catalyst on graphitic carbon nitride enabling simultaneous boosting charge separation and surface reaction

Rational design and engineering of highly active co-catalysts made of stable and earth-abundant elements is essential to boost the photocatalytic water splitting performances. This paper reports a 2D-black phosphorus (BP) supported Ni2P (2D-Ni2[email protected]) as a non-precious heterostructure co-catalyst coupled with a 2D porous graphitic carbon nitride nanosheet (CN NSs) photocatalyst to induce visible light photocatalytic hydrogen...
