2D/2d mt/m-cn composite with enriched interface charge transfer for boosting photocatalytic co2 hydrogenation by h2 to ch4 under visible light

Well-designed montmorillonite (Mt) coupled graphitic carbon nitride (m-CN) composite for stimulating photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation with H2 and H2O reducing agents has been investigated. 2D Mt nanosheets were uniformly anchored with 2D m-CN nanosheets for improving charge carrier separation. The p...
