Impact of nitrogen doping on triazole-based graphitic carbon Nitride-TiO₂ (P25) S-scheme heterojunction for improved photocatalytic hydrogen production.

ABSTRACT: Establishing an S-scheme heterojunction is a promising method for increasing the photocatalytic activity of synthetic materials. In this study, nitrogen-doped g-C₃N₅/TiO₂ S-scheme photocatalysts have been synthesized and examined for photocatalytic hydrogen production using thermal decomposition methods. Nitrogen-doped g-C₃N₅/TiO₂ composites performed better than pure nitrogen-doped g-C₃N₅ and TiO₂ alone. Using experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, nitrogen (N) doping was identified as being introduced by replacing the carbon (C) atoms in the matrix of g-C₃N₅. In addition to its narrow band gap, N-doped g-C₃N₅ showed efficien
