What is it about?

AuNP decorated-graphitic g-C3N4 nanostructures towards improved photoelectrochemical performances. The improved photoelectrochemical performance of the Au-g-C3N4 nanostructures was attributed to the synergistic effects between the conduction band minimum of g-C3N4 and the plasmonic band of AuNPs, including high optical absorption, uniform distribution, and nanoscale particle size. This simple, biogenic approach opens up new ways of producing photoactive Au-g-C3N4 nanostructures for potential practical applications, such as visible light-induced photonic materials for real device development.
