Selective modification of ultra-thin g-C3N4 nanosheets on the (110) facet of Au/BiVO4 for boosting photocatalytic H2O2 production

Au/BiVO4 is a promising photocatalyst for H2O2 production owing to its appropriate energy-band structure and excellent two-electron O2 reduction ability. However, easy H2O2 decomposition by photogenerated holes limits its high-efficient H2O2 production. To alleviate the issue, in the study, BiVO4 single crystal with selective co-modification of ultra-thin g-C3N4 and Au was prepared for the first time. Specifically, ultra-thin g-C3N4 nanosheets...
