Abstract

Abstract : A general and simple route to fabricate graphdiyne nanowalls on arbitrary substrates is developed by using a copper envelope catalysis strategy. The GDY/BiVO4 system is but one example of combing the unique properites of GDY with those target substrates where GDY improves the photoelectrochemical performance dramatically.
