Özet

The efficient storage and utilization of hydrogen energy are crucial for the advancement of clean energy technologies. Sodium borohydride (NaBH4), a promising hydrogen carrier, has gained attention for its potential in hydrogen generation through hydrolysis. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the research landscape concerning g-C3N4-based catalysts for hydrogen production, focusing on trends and developments from 2009 to December 2024. Through the systematic evaluation of publication volumes, thematic shifts, and the evolution of key keywords, the study offers valuable insights into the field's emerging priorities. Additionally, the analysis identifies leading countries and institutions driving global research efforts, highlighting significant contributions to g-C3N4 catalyst development. The study also uncovers a notable research gap related to the application of NaBH4 in hydrogen production, with only 47 publications published on this topic up to December 2024. This finding emphasises the necessity for additional exploration and research in this field to bridge the existing gap and optimise hydrogen production technologies.
