Ternary g-C3N4/NiOOH/Ag nanocomposite photocatalyst with efficient charges separation and high activity for H2 production

A ternary g-C3N4/NiOOH/Ag nanocomposite photocatalyst was synthesized using a combination of chemical and photoreduction methods. Physical, chemical and optical properties of the obtained material were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Vis diffuse reflection (DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS). The photoactivity of g-C3N4/NiOOH/Ag nanocomposite...
