Nanostructured CuO with a thin g-C(3)N(4) layer as a highly efficient photocathode for solar water splitting

A g-C(3)N(4)/CuO nanostructure featuring improved photoelectrochemical properties was successfully prepared using a facile and cost-effective method involving electrodeposition and thermal oxidation. The improved photoelectrochemical properties were mainly ascribed to the increased surface area and...

Descripción
Sumario:A g-C(3)N(4)/CuO nanostructure featuring improved photoelectrochemical properties was successfully prepared using a facile and cost-effective method involving electrodeposition and thermal oxidation. The improved photoelectrochemical properties were mainly ascribed to the increased surface area and improved charge transportation of the g-C(3)N(4)/CuO photocathode. This photocathode can be used in novel strategies for resolving problems associated with low-efficiency CuO photocathodes.
