One- and two-dimensional Ni, Cu and Cu–Ni nanostructures have been successfully loaded on g-C3N4. Nanosized Ni/g-C3N4 catalyst presents outstanding activity and stability in methanol

  • Summary:

    One- and two-dimensional Ni, Cu and Cu–Ni nanostructures have been successfully loaded on g-C3N4. Nanosized Ni/g-C3N4 catalyst presents outstanding activity and stability in methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Nanostructured NiO/g-C3N4 heterojunctions facilitate electron-hole separation and enable more efficient energy transfer.
