Abstract
), which are 1.9 and 22 times higher than those of pure CN, respectively. This improvement primarily results from hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) between CN and MCC, which enables excellent charge separation and migration, leading to the outstanding photoelectrochemical properties of MCC-0.05/CN.
