Graphdiyne-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic hydrogen production

Abstract

Carbon-based materials have shown great potential for a wide range of functional applications due to their low cost and excellent performance. Since the first synthesis by Li's team in 2010, GDY has become a research hotspot due to its unique diacetylene bonds, large surface spacing and pore structure, as well as outstanding semiconductor properties. This review summarizes the basic properties, synthesis routes, bandgap regulation mechanisms of GDY, and the latest research progress in the field of photocatalysis. This review aims to deepen the understanding of GDY materials and provide a theoretical basis for the innovation and development of the next generation of carbon-based photocatalytic systems.
