Oxygen vacancy mediated step-scheme heterojunction of WO2.9/g-C3N4 for efficient electrochemical sensing of 4-nitrophenol

Excitonic effects induced via Coulomb interactions and an appropriate interfacial contact of electrode modified materials play crucial roles in transfer/separation of interfacial charge carriers during the electrochemical sensing process. Herein, an oxygen vacancy (Vo) mediated step-scheme (S-scheme...

description Excitonic effects induced via Coulomb interactions and an appropriate interfacial contact of electrode modified materials play crucial roles in transfer/separation of interfacial charge carriers during the electrochemical sensing process. Herein, an oxygen vacancy (Vo) mediated step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction of WO2.9/g-C3N4 was fabricated by electrostatic self-assembly of high-purity commercial WO2.9 nanoparticles and ultrathin g-C3N4 nanosheets, where g-C3N4 nanosheets were prepared via polymerization followed ultrasonic-assisted exfoliation. The fabricated Vo-S-scheme WO2.9/g-C3N4 heterojunction-based sensor exhibited superior electrochemical performance for detecting environmental hormone 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Due to the introduction of Vo, an increased free-charge-carriers, a built-in electric field and a high adsorption energy are generated at the heterojunction interface, which all can significantly improve the sensitivity of this proposed sensor.
