In particular, the optimal g-C3N4/CdS/rGO dual-interface nano-composite shows H2 production rate of ∼4800 μmol h-1 g-1, which is almost 44, 11 and 2.5 times higher than that shown by pure g-C3N4 nanosheets, and the g-C3N4/rGO and g-C3N4/CdS single interface heterostructures, respectively. It is shown that the synergic effects involving the band structure match and close interfacial contact, which can accelerate the separation and transfer of photoinduced charge carriers, and the enhanced visible-light absorption together contribute to the impressive photocatalytic performance and photostability of the g-C3N4/CdS/rGO ternary nano-composite system. Specific advantages of a dual-interface triple-composite system over a single interface case(s) are also brought out.</p>10acharge transfer10aDual Interface10aG - CN10aH Generation10aHetero Structure10aNano - Composite1 aTonda, Surendar1 aKumar, Santosh1 aGawli, Yogesh1 aBhardwaj, Monika  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/g-c3n4-2dcds-1drgo-2d-dual-interface-nano-composite-excellent-and-stable-visible-light01817nas a2200181   4500008004100000245012100041210006900162260000800231300001400239490000700253520114300260100002001403700001901423700002101442700001801463700002501481856012901506       2018                        eng d00aG-C3N4/NiAl-LDH 2D/2D hybrid heterojunction for high-performance photocatalytic reduction ofco2 into renewable fuels0 aGC3N4NiAlLDH 2D2D hybrid heterojunction for highperformance phot  cJAN  a2667-26780 v103 a2D/2D interface heterostructures of g-C3N4 and NiAl-LDH are synthesized utilizing strong electrostatic interactions between positively charged 2D NiAl-LDH sheets and negatively charged 2D g-C3N4 nanosheets. This new 2D/2D interface heterojunction showed remarkable performance for photocatalytic CO, reduction to produce renewable fuels such as CO and H-2 under visible-light irradiation, far superior to that of either single phase g-C3N4 or NiAl-LDH nanosheets. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed mainly to the excellent interfacial contact at the heterojunction of gC(3)N(4)/NiAl-LDH, which subsequently results in suppressed recombination, and improved transfer and separation of photogenerated charge carriers. In addition, the optimal g-C3N4/NiAl-LDH nanocomposite possessed high photostability after successive experimental runs with no obvious change in the production of CO from CO, reduction. Our findings regarding the design, fabrication and photophysical properties of 2D/2D heterostructure systems may find use in other photocatalytic applications including H-2 production and water purification.1 aTonda, Surendar1 aKumar, Santosh1 aBhardwaj, Monika1 aYadav, Poonam1 aOgale, Satishchandra  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/g-c3n4nial-ldh-2d2d-hybrid-heterojunction-high-performance-photocatalytic-reduction-ofco2
