Spectroscopic investigations and density functional theory calculations reveal that the sulfoxide functionalities generate efficient charge-transfer pathways on the catalyst’s surface, thereby catalyzing the reaction and impeding charge carrier recombination. The implications of this research offer insights into the development of surface/interface engineering and atomistic doping for enhanced photocatalysis, which will inspire superior futuristic catalytic design.]]> Wed 15 May 2024 15:33:05 AEST ]]> Recent advances in the application of carbon nitrides for advanced water treatment and desalination technology https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52764 Tue 14 Nov 2023 15:19:12 AEDT ]]> Tailoring the Pore Size, Basicity, and Binding Energy of Mesoporous C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>5</inf> for CO<inf>2</inf> Capture and Conversion https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39783 Thu 30 Mar 2023 18:05:17 AEDT ]]> Nanoporous carbon oxynitride and its enhanced lithium-ion storage performance https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44363 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:53:13 AEDT ]]> Design of P-doped mesoporous carbon nitrides as high-performance anode materials for Li-ion battery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39128 –1 even after 1000 cycles at a current density of 1 A g–1, which is much higher than that of other counterparts comprising s-triazine (C3H3N3, g-C3N4), pristine MCN-1, and B-containing MCN-1 (B-MCN-1) subunits or carbon allotropes like CNT and graphene (rGO) materials. The P-MCN-1 electrode also exhibits exceptional rate capability even at high current densities of 5, 10, and 20 A g–1 delivering 685, 539, and 274 mAh g–1, respectively, after 2500 cycles. The high electrical conductivity and Li-ion diffusivity (D), estimated from electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), very well support the extraordinary electrochemical performance of the P-MCN-1. Higher formation energy, lower bandgap value, and high Li-ion adsorption ability predicted by first principle calculations of P-MCN-1 are in good agreement with experimentally observed high lithium storage, stable cycle life, high power capability, and minimal irreversible capacity (IRC) loss. To the best of our knowledge, it is an entirely new material with the combination of ordered mesostructures with P codoping in carbon nitride substructure which offers superior performance for LIB, and hence we believe that this work will create new momentum for the design and development of clean energy storage devices.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:48:09 AEDT ]]>
