Phosphorus doping and structural coupling with CdSe QDs are shown to significantly extend visible-light response of g-C₃N₄ up to 700 nm. The optimized sample 4CdSe/P-CN demonstrates enhanced visible-light driven overall water splitting activities for H₂ and O₂ evolution i.e. 113 and 55.5 μmol.h⁻¹.g⁻¹, respectively, as well as very high photocatalytic CO₂ to CH₄ conversion efficiency (47 μmol.h⁻¹.g⁻¹). It also exhibit higher activity (78 %) for 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation as compared to pristine CN-sample. Combined photoluminescence, transient/single wavelength photocurrent, photoelectrochemical, and coumarin fluorescence spectroscopy demonstrate that 4CdSe/P-CN nanocomposite exhibit enhanced charge separation efficiency which is responsible for improved visible light catalytic activities. Our work thus provide a new strategy to design low-cost and sustainable photocatalysis with wide visible-light activity for practical overall water splitting and CO₂ reduction applications.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:44:21 AEDT ]]>
