摘要
A highly active heterogeneous catalyst,Pd nanoparticles@g-C_(3)N_(4)/SiO_(2) with tunable band structure,was successfully fabricated by a sol–gel method.The nanocomposite catalyst exhibits an extraordinary hydrogen production rate from formic acid which leads to a high turnover frequency(TOF)of around 306 mol H_(2) per mole Pd per h after 10 min.The characterization analysis shows that the bandgap of the g-C_(3)N_(4)/SiO_(2) support widens with decreasing synthesis temperature,which in turn allows tuning of the band structure by simply controlling the synthesis temperature.After Pd nanoparticles were embedded,the nanocomposite Pd@g-C_(3)N_(4)/SiO_(2) showed excellent catalytic performance in the dehydrogenation of formic acid at 303.15 K,and the lower the synthesis temperature of the catalyst,the higher its performance.
