Abstract

A new photoelectrocatalyst for the water oxidation process is designed by immobilizing [CoW12O40]6-(CoW12) heteropolyanions on the surface of covalently modified graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4). For this purpose, g-C3N4is first modified with cysteamine hydrochloride through the well-known thiol-ene click reaction. Afterward, [CoW12O40]6-heteropolyanions are immobilized on the surface of modified g-C3N4nanosheets with electrostatic interaction with ammonium groups. After confirming the preparation of CoW12/clicked g-C3N4with various physicochemical methods, its photoelectrocatalytic activity is evaluated in the oxygen evolution reaction. The CoW12/clicked g-C3N4exhibits a low onset potential of 1.32 V versus NHE and a low overpotential of 230 mV at 10 mA cm-2with a low Tafel slope of 67 mV dec-1under visible light illumination. Moreover, the stability of the catalyst is investigated through the chronoamperometric measurements. © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
