Abstract
Utilization of solar heat radiation into chemical energy is attributed to semiconductor photocatalyst under sunlight perspective considered as a reversing inspired approach that exacerbates the environmental problems. Recently, our group indicates graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) by a progressive molecular aggregation co-polymerization process that propagated with a nanoscopic organic conjugated heterocyclic monomer to enhance its photocatalytic activity. This work aims to present a facile induced co-condensation technique and used 2, 6-Furandicarboxylic acid (FA) monomer as demonstrator within g-CN that boosting the photocatalytic properties under solar energy driven caused the reduction of water. The as-prepared samples were demonstrated for various characterizations along with computational evaluation of pure and doped g-CN. The result signifying the integration of organic FA monomer in the triazine core shell of g-CN restoring a substantial delocalization in its π-conjugated system. Meanwhile, after this alternation, an identifiable undulation occurred in the surface area, electronic structure, calculated band gap, chemical composition analysis of g-CN, and also improved its electronic generation process under the visible light radiance. Besides, this unrepeatable integrity of FA co-monomer with ing-CN matrix considerably enhanced the photocatalytic activity toward Godspeed and as such, the superior photocatalyst CN/FA12.0 stimulated a tremendous photocatalytic activity of water reduction with 10.6 enhanced catalytic performances as a contrast of pristine sample respectively.
