The utilization of solar energy as a pivotal and sustainable source is increasingly recognized for its exceptional natural properties. To effectively harness convert energy, the development advanced materials imperative. Porphyrins, renowned their role light-harvesting antennas in nature, play photosynthesis. In this study, CuTCPP/g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized through combination electrostatic self-assembly situ growth methods. composite exhibited photostability remarkable efficiency photocatalytic degradation methylene blue (MB). Specifically, 0.5% demonstrated an impressive rate 97.20% MB under simulated sunlight, which almost double that g-C3N4. Additionally, capabilities hydrogen production, generating 350.00 μmol g–1 just 2 h, 8.33 times higher than produced by further elucidate performance composite, photoelectrochemical techniques were employed to confirm charge transfer path validate effective electron–hole separation mechanism within heterostructure. Overall, these investigations significantly enhanced overall reaction. findings study underscore immense application potential nanocomposites artificial photosynthesis, environmental pollution control, clean conversion. Moreover, they reveal novel technical insights address global challenges future.
