Carbon nitride nanocrystals were synthesized on Co/Ni-covered Si(100) wafers using a nitrogen-atom-beam-assisted pulsed laser ablation deposition method. Transmission electron miscroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy showed that as-deposited films were constructed primarily from nanometer-sized β-C3N4 and CNx crystallites. The co-catalyzation by the cobalt and nickel in the synthesis process is considered to play an important role in the formation of nanocrystalline β-C3N4. The reasons for the formation of carbon nitride nanocrystals were analyzed.

ABSTRACTPulsed laser ablation has been used to produce silicon nanocrystals. Variation of the laser fluence, backing gas type and pressure result in nanocrystals with controllable size distributions. Properties of nanocrystals produced with this method also depend on the distance of the nanocrystal from the center of the laser plume. Correlated atomic force microscopy and in-situ micro-Raman measurements confirm that particle size decreases as distance from the plume center increases. Silicon peaks in the micro raman spectra taken at increasing distance from plume center show considerable differences in both center energy and width. Confocal micro raman spectra from thicker (> 10 micron) samples show little variation with depth, in contrast with porous silicon samples.

A visible-light-active nickel oxide–graphitic carbon nitride (NiO@g-CN) hetero-structured nanocomposite was synthesized for the first time by pulsed laser ablation in liquid and used as a photoanode material in photoelectrochemical water-splitting reaction with a solar simulator. It was found that the photoelectrochemical performance of PLAL synthesized NiO@g-CN nanocomposite as photoanode, compared to g-CN as photoanode showed fourfold enhancements in photocurrent density under visible light. FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, and EDX consistently showed the proper anchoring of nano-sized NiO on g-CN. UV-DRS and the band gap estimation showed the narrowing down of the band gap energy and consequent enhancement in the visible-light absorption, whereas photoluminescence spectroscopy confirmed the reduction of the recombination of photo-excited electron hole pairs as a result of the anchoring of NiO on g-CN. The photoelectrochemical performance of g-CN and the NiO@g-CN nanocomposite photoanodes was compared by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), Chronoamperometry (I-t), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). All of these results of the characterization studies account for the observed fourfold enhancement of photocurrent density of NiO@g-CN nanocomposite as photoanode in the photoelectrochemical reaction.
