Application of Graphdiyne and Its Analogues in Photocatalysis and Photoelectrochemistry

摘要

Graphdiyne(GDY),a new carbon allotrope composed of sp-sp^(2) carbon atoms,has attracted increased attention in recent years.It has a direct band gap of 0.46-1.22 eV,high charge carrier mobility and lower work function compared to most of the typical semiconductors,which ensure successful hybridization with other semiconductors(e.g.,TiO_(2),g-C_(3)N_(4)).This review aims at discussing recent achievements of GDY and its analogues applied in photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical(PEC)reactions.Meanwhile,some challenges and new perspectives of opportunities in developing catalysts and electrodes based on GDY and its analogues are also discussed.
