Overall water splitting by Pt/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalysts without using sacrificial agents

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Direct splitting of pure water into H 2 and O 2 in a stoichiometric molar ratio of 2 : 1 by conjugated polymers via a 4-electron pathway was established for the first time, as demonstrated here using a g-C 3 N 4 polymer and redox co-catalysts of Pt and Co species.
