Synthesis of Copper Phosphide-based Z-scheme Composite for Photochemical Water Splitting

This research was primarily focused in decreasing the dependency on non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels, and develop a rather feasible and economical method that would not only help in meeting the energy requirements of the nation but will also contribute towards a sustainable future. Hydrogen gas had been opted for this project.  
 
Hydrogen gas is a clean and sustainable fuel. Production of hydrogen gas via solar water splitting is feasible, economical and straight forward method. Visible light is 45% of solar spectrum, in this project such photo catalytic systems were designed which were visible light sensitive can not only increase the efficiency of photo catalytic system, but it also ensures maximum utilisation of solar light. Designed photo catalytic composites can be checked and their performances can be compared against standard photo catalyst.
