Heterojunctions of halogen-doped carbon nitride nanosheets and BiOI for sunlight-driven water-splitting
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract A fluorine-doped, chlorine-intercalated carbon nitride (CNF-Cl) photocatalyst has been synthesized for simultaneous improvements in light harvesting capability along with suppression of charge recombination in bulk g-C 3 N 4 . The formation of heterojunctions of these CNF-Cl nanosheets with low bandgap, earth abundant bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) was achieved, and the synthesized heterojunctions were tested as active photoanodes in photoelectrochemical water splitting experiments. BiOI/CNF-Cl heterojunctions exhibited extended light harvesting with a band-edge of 680 nm and generated photocurrent densities approaching 1.3 mA cm −2 under AM1.5 G one sun illumination. Scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy under optical bias showed a surface potential of 207 mV for the 50% BiOI/CNF-Cl nanocomposite, while pristine CNF-Cl and BiOI had surface photopotential values of 83 mV and 98 mV, respectively, which in turn, provided direct evidence of superior charge separation in the heterojunction blends. Enhanced charge carrier separation and improved light harvesting capability in BiOI/CNF-Cl hybrids were found to be the dominant factors in increased photocurrent, compared to the pristine constituent materials.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
