Superior photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production over g-C3N4 with Ni(OH)2 as an oxidation cocatalyst

Key Points

• The central aim is to evaluate the efficiency of a Ni(OH)2/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst for hydrogen peroxide production.
• Fabrication of Ni(OH)2/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst (NiCN) for enhanced photocatalytic performance.
• Evaluation of photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation.
• NiCN shows a significant increase in photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production compared to g-C3N4 alone, demonstrating enhanced efficiency.
• Performance metrics indicated that the addition of Ni(OH)2 as a cocatalyst leads to improved oxidation processes.
