Hello everyone.
I am preparing photocatalysts based on g-C3N4 and Co3O4, but the junction formed is type II, is there any method to make sure that the junction formed is s scheme junction.
Dear Zacarya,
The first thing I recommend you do is determine the bandgaps of the isolated components and of the complete heterostructure. Only in this way will you be able to know what is happening and establish the catalytic mechanism that takes place in your system.
Best,
Fran
Dear sir Francisco Manuel Marquez
thank you for your answer.
Dear sir, I have the bandgap and the potentials of the bands (CB and VB) for both semiconductors and I know throw the use of scavengers that the junction formed is type II. But I want to form a Z scheme junction to protect the high redox ability of the two semiconductors. What I'm asking is, are we able to control what junction that will be formed or that's something we couldn't know before the synthesis?
