Abstract

Herein, we report a photoanode of g-C₃N₄/WO₃ heterojunctions with exceptional ability and stability for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting which achieved a high photocurrent density of 1.92 mA cm⁻² at +1.23 V versus (vs.) RHE which is about 2 times higher than that of the pristine WO₃ photoanode (0.71 mA cm⁻²).
