Abstract
Polymeric carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 )-based Z-scheme photocatalysts have attracted widespread attention owing to their notable light-harvesting capability, spatially separated reductive and oxidative active sites, and strong redox ability. This review article presents a panorama of the latest developments of g-C 3 N 4 -based Z-scheme photocatalysts for various applications. The development status and basic working principle of g-C 3 N 4 -based Z-scheme photocatalysts is introduced. After that, the characterization technologies for g-C 3 N 4 -based Z-scheme photocatalysts are discussed. Later, a series of representative g-C 3 N 4 -based Z-scheme photocatalysts for various photocatalytic applications, including water splitting, CO 2 reduction, N 2 fixation, and H 2 O 2 production are exemplified. Finally, this review offers some perspectives on the major challenges and opportunities for future research in this emerging field. There is little doubt that advanced g-C 3 N 4 -based Z-scheme nanostructured materials could act as highly efficient photocatalysts to achieve new breakthroughs for diverse photocatalysis applications. Carbon nitride Z-scheme photocatalysts have demonstrated attractive photocatalytic performance for a diverse range of solar-to-chemical energy conversion applications, including H 2 O splitting, CO 2 reduction, N 2 fixation, and H 2 O 2 production. Here, Liao et al. review recent advances in the field, and the significance of Z-scheme systems in photocatalysis is highlighted.
