?-Ni(OH)2 supported over g-C3N4: A novel catalyst for para-nitrophenol reduction and supercapacitor electrode
subject: Carbon nitride; Catalytic reduction; Nickel hydroxide; Para-nitrophenol; Supercapacitor
description: ?-Ni(OH)2 supported over g-C3N4 was synthesized by two simple approaches. Its catalytic activity in reducing hazardous para-nitrophenol (PNP) to the industrially important para-aminophenol (PAP) was studied in detail. The applicability of this material as a supercapacitor electrode was also studied. The material shows 100% conversion efficiency with a rate constant of 65.4410 10?3 s?1. The catalytic efficiency and the supercapacitor electrode behaviour of the material can be explained based on the structure of ?-Ni(OH)2 nanoparticle and the synergy between ?-Ni(OH)2 and g-C3N4. 2022 The Author(s)
