Abstract

A 2D porous graphitic C3N4 nanosheets/nitrogen-doped graphene/layered MoS2 ternary nanojunction is synthesized using a simple pyrolysis process followed by a hydrothermal treatment. The 2D ternary nanojunction exhibits significantly enhanced photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic activities due to the large contact area, efficient light absorption, and rapid charge separation and transport. Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets have attracted considerable attention recently owing to their unique electronic and optical properties,1 as well as their promising applications in solar cells, water splitting, and environmental purification.2 Among various 2D nanosheets, the graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheet is…
