3D ordered macroporous sulfur-doped g-C3N4/TiO2 S-scheme photocatalysts for efficient H2O2 production in pure water

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2023.03.045

Abstract

Abstract: Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production offers a clean and cost-efficient alternative to the traditional anthraquinone oxidation approach. Herein, a step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction photocatalyst is fabricated by coupling TiO₂ with three dimensionally ordered macroporous sulfur-doped graphitic carbon nitride (3DOM SCN/T) by electrostatic self-assembly. The optimized photocatalyst achieved a high photocatalytic H₂O₂ production activity with a yield of 2128 μmol h^-1g^-1 without the addition of hole scavengers. The remarkable performance was attributed to the synergy between the 3DOM framework and the S-scheme heterojunction. The former enhances light harvesting and provides abundant active sites for surface reactions, while the latter promotes the spatial separation of photogenerated carriers and enhances the redox power. Finally, the mechanism of photocatalytic H₂O₂ production over the 3DOM SCN/T S-scheme composite is proposed. This work provides novel insights into the development of efficient photocatalysts for H₂O₂ production from water and O₂.

Key words: Photocatalysis, Step-scheme heterojunction, Three dimensionally ordered macroporous, Hydrogen peroxide, O₂ reduction reaction
