A Ta <sub>3</sub> N <sub>5</sub> /BN composite for enhanced photocatalytic water splitting
Narrow-bandgap Ta<sub>3</sub>N<sub>5</sub> nanorods were supported on a BN substrate to produce a composite photocatalyst using NH<sub>4</sub>Cl-based vacuum nitridation. The charge separation efficiency of Ta<sub>3</sub>N<sub>5</sub> was effectively enhanced due to electron transfer from Ta<sub>3</sub>N<sub>5</sub> to the BN substrate, boosting both the photocatalytic water oxidation and Z-scheme overall water splitting reactions.
