Abstract

Polymeric graphitic phase carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) photocatalysts offer significant potential for CO₂photoreduction into solar fuels despite their efficiency restricted due to poor light response and recombination of photo-generated charges. This study focused on the modification of g-C₃N₄by single-layered graphene oxide (GO) for enhancing photocatalytic CO₂reduction activity to form CH4. Well-designed 2D/2D GO-g-C₃N₄was fabricated using facile thermal strategy. The hybrid photocatalyst exhibited improved CO₂photoreduction performance to produce CH₄. The maximum CH₄yield of 25.61 µmol g-1 was achieved after 4 h of visible light illumination which represents about 25% enhancement compared to pristine g-C₃N₄.
