The g-C3N4 nanosheet/TiO2 (CNNS/TiO2) heterojunctions have been synthesized by using polydopamine (PDA) as both linker and inducer enlightened by the bioadhesion and biomineralization mechanisms existing in mussel and shellfish in this study. In the as-prepared CNNS/TiO2 sample, TiO2 nanoparticles about 5 nm in size distribute on the CNNS surface uniformly. Moreover, the heterojunction structure is formed between TiO2 and CNNS. In contrast with CNNS and TiO2, the CNNS/TiO2 heterojunctions display much more superior Rhodamine B (RhB) photocatalytic degradation activity, which can reach 100% within 60 min under irradiation of visible light and preserves excellent stability after four recycles. The heterojunction structure formed by CNNS and TiO2 is conducive for separation of the photogenerated carriers and thus is favorable for improving photocatalytic performance. This method may develop a novel avenue to broadly synthesizing CNNS-based nanocomposites with superior photocatalytic performance.

Scientists are still working on developing a “turn-on” fluorescence sensor for Co2+, especially in acidic solutions. A novel “on–off–on” fluorescence sensor based on g-C3N4 nanosheets was designed and prepared in this paper. It was able to detect (2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5(diethylamino)phenol (abbreviated to 5-Br-PADAP) and Co2+ quantitatively by quenching and restoring the fluorescence of the g-C3N4 nanosheet system, respectively. Also discussed are the effects of solvent, pH, order of addition, and interaction time of 5-Br-PADAP and Co2+, as well as the concentration range of the object on measurement. Furthermore, in acidic conditions, the sensor demonstrated good selectivity and sensitivity. In the solvent system EtOH : H2O (v/v = 1 : 9, pH = 3), the fluorescence intensity had a good linear relationship with 5-Br-PADAP and Co2+ concentrations in the ranges of 0–15 μM and 0–10 μM, with low detection limits of 64 nM and 44 nM, respectively. Experiments and theoretical calculations were used to describe the interaction characteristics and sensing mechanism. It was eventually successful in detecting Co2+ in environmental samples.

The strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) can profoundly affect the electronic state of platinum (Pt) cocatalysts, which plays a dominant role for photocatalytic activity in the supported photocatalysts. However, the conventional Pt/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalysts usually shows negligible SMSI effect because of the lack of the reducible species. Herein, we demonstrate that the linker engineering of UiO66-type MOFs can effectively strengthen the SMSI and optimize the electron density of Pt nanoparticles on g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The enhancement of electron-donating ability of the ligand functional groups effectively enriches the electron density of Pt cocatalysts, thus accelerating the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate. The results show that CN@Pt@UiO66-NA (the electron-donating functional group modified) exhibits the excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity (4.22 mmol g −1 h −1 ), which is 2.7 times that of CN@Pt@UiO66-NO 2 (the electron-withdrawing functional group modified).

While mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) containing two-dimensional (2D) layered materials (such as, GO, g-C 3 N 4 and MXene , etc.) have revealed potential application prospects for gas separation applications, it still faces a serious challenge to enhance the performance of CO 2 separation. Owing to the structural defects of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets produced during the exfoliation process, which has greatly reduced the gas selectivity. Herein, we describe the construction of g-C 3 N 4 -MXene/Pebax MMM composed by MXene modified the structural defects in g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets to surmount the low gas selectivity of g-C 3 N 4 membrane. However, the stacking of nanosheets on each other hinder the gas transport channels. The TiO 2 nanoparticles derived in-situ from MXene semi-oxidation can support an intermediate layer between g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet and MXene nanosheet to expand the gas transport channels. Eventually, a novel g-C 3 N 4 -TiO 2 @MXene/Pebax MMM was obtained that exhibited maximum CO 2 permeability of 1673.69 Barrer in separation of CO 2 /CH 4 , CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 45.13, and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 47.76, exceeding the bond 2008 limit on Robeson. What's more, the MMM within 100 h (1 bar and 298 K) are measured to have outstanding separation performance. Overall, this concept offers a novel strategy to enhance CO 2 separation by MXene modified defects in g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets.

Exfoliated and plicated g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (CNsF) were prepared through a thermal-chemical exfoliation in which the bulk g-C 3 N 4 was obtained first under thermal exfoliation, and then was exposed to an acidic etching using hydrofluoric acid under hydrothermal condition. The acidic etching not only exfoliated g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets by disrupting weak van der Waals forces between layers, which led to formation of a monolayer or a few layers of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets, but also made disordered defects on its surface and created plicated g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. Under visible-light illumination, the optimized sample (CNsF-6%) showed a hydrogen evolution rate of 54.13 μmol h −1 g −1 (without co-catalyst) and a specific surface area of 121.4 m 2 g −1 , which were about 4.7 and 2.5 times, respectively, higher than pristine g-C 3 N 4 . It also showed remarkably enhanced photocatalytic performance in removing various organic pollutants. This remarkable improvement probably arises from the porous nanosheets and an increased number of active sites resulting from the CNsF, which subsequently enhanced the charge separation efficiency. This work provided an alternative way to obtain highly active g-C 3 N 4 photocatalysts .

Excessive or deficient defects in graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets are detrimental to their photocatalytic activities . In this work, the approach of fluorine-containing solvothermal treatment has been applied to remodel the defects in g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (CNS). The fabrication process has been comprehensively investigated and the samples are characterized by various techniques. The results manifest that the solvothermal treatment declines the amount of defects, while the addition of fluorine stimulates the emergence of nitrogen vacancies for producing new active sites which makes the obtained fluorine modified CNS present excellent photocatalytic activities. The average rate of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation is 2607.4 μmol·h −1 ·g −1 , which is almost 13 and 1.3 times of bulk g-C 3 N 4 (BCN) and CNS, respectively, and the degradation rate of rhodamine B is about 3.4 and 1.9 times, respectively.

In this work, the hydrophilic organic films were successfully coated on g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets through facile co-modification of dopamine (DA) and silane coupling agent (KH560). The co -modification of polydopamine (PDA) and KH560 on lamellar g-C 3 N 4 greatly enhanced dispersion of g-C 3 N 4 in aqueous solution and dramatically improved the compatibility and interfacial interaction with waterborne epoxy. The effect of incorporating modified g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets into waterborne epoxy on anticorrosion performance for P110 steel substrates were demonstrated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization and salt spray test. The results revealed that the |Z| 0.01Hz value and percentage coating resistance (R c ) gain (η c %) of nanocomposite coating increased by 977% and 90.72% with the addition of modified g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets in comparison with pure waterborne epoxy coating, exhibiting outstanding anticorrosion abilities. The reinforced anticorrosion performances of nanocomposite coating could be attributed to the notable shielding effect and well dispersibility of modified g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets.

As a semiconductor material with a 2D-laminate structure, g-C 3 N 4 (bandwidth 2.7 eV) has a similar structure and excellent performance to graphene. However, high surface energy and photogenerated e–h recombination of g-C 3 N 4 seriously hinder its application in the field of marine anticorrosion and antifouling. To solve these problems, we synthesized the g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets decorated with ZnO nanoring via chemical etching technology. Whether the NR ZnO-CNNs have surface protection performance among the pure EP on the corrosion protection for metal substrate were investigated. The antifouling properties NR ZnO-CNNs hybrid were also estimated through photocatalytic bacterial and algae resistance tests. Combined with the electrochemical results, it was found that the impedance modulus of NR ZnO-CNNs/EP within 45 days showed two orders of magnitude higher than that of pure EP in the 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Besides, Local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (LEIS) further explored the anticorrosion behavior of NR ZnO-CNNs/EP coating, which indicated that the NR ZnO-CNNs/EP coating with a scratch maintained an excellent corrosion resistance between 0–24 h. Under the visible light conditions, the lifetime of photogenerated e–h was prolonged due to the formation of NR ZnO-CNNs heterojunction structure, it was observed that the antibacterial rate against Bacillus subtilis reached 100% within 8 h. An Antialgae test was performed on chlorella seawater solution, which indicated that 5 mg/mL of NR ZnO-CNNs hybrid could make chlorella sharply reduce within 4 days. Simultaneously, the corrosion protection and photocatalytic antifouling mechanisms of NR ZnO-CNNs were proposed, thus it provided a broader platform for the design of versatile marine protection materials.

In order to increase the photocatalytic performance of titanium dioxide mesocrystals (TMCs), in this study, Ag nanoparticles with different mass content were first photodeposited on the surface of as-prepared TMCs to form heterostructured Ag–TMCs catalysts, followed by loading them on g-C 3 N 4 via one step “bottom-to-up” calcination method. The results of photocatalytic degradation toward RhB experiments showed that the prepared ternary photocatalyst of g-C 3 N 4 /Ag–TMCs exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity not only compared with the bare TMCs and Ag–TMCs, but also with all of those reported TiO 2 /Ag/g-C 3 N 4 ternary photocatalysts. Such improved photocatalytic properties were attributed to the synergistic effect created by the LSPR effect and an important role as an electron-conduction bridge of Ag and the existence of heterojunction structure formed between Ag, TMCs and the further coupling g-C 3 N 4 , which added to the evidences that enabled the prepared g-C 3 N 4 /Ag–TMCs catalyst enhanced transfer efficiency of photogenerated carriers and suppressed recombination rate of electron-hole pairs. Moreover, the deposited Ag content had a positive effect on the photocatalytic degradation efficiency. On the basis of the results of this study, the specimen of g-C 3 N 4 /9% Ag–TMCs showed RhB degradation efficiency up to 100% under only 15 min visible-light irradiation. A possible degradation mechanism was also proposed based on several characterizations including photoluminescence spectrum and a serious of photoelectrochemical measurements. Overall, the prepared g-C 3 N 4 /Ag–TMCs ternary photocatalyst with good recyclability looked promising for future practical applications in the visible-light photodegradation of organic pollutants.

We propose a strategy for rapid in situ fabrication of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) hybrid membrane with assistance of the two dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets at room temperature. The negatively charged g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets with abundant nitrogen coordinating sites are capable to capture and anchor Zn 2+ and thus provide a large number of heterogeneous nucleation sites for the formation of initial ZIF-8 crystals. During the cyclical spin coating of the Zn 2+ /g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets and the ligand (2-methylimidazole), the in situ formed ZIF-8 crystal nucleus on g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets promote the further growth of continues defect-free membranes. The ZIF-8/g-C 3 N 4 membrane with thickness of ∼240 nm can be obtained using this strategy within 30 min at room temperature, which is attractive for fast and facile preparation of molecular sieving membranes. Moreover, it exhibits promising H 2 /CO 2 separation performance with the selectivity up to 42, which is superior to many other ZIF-8 membranes.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets loaded with WO3 nanoparticles were prepared via heat treatment of g-C3N4 together with WOx-EDA nanobelts. The thermal treatment temperature and WOx-EDA precursor play the key role in enhancing the interaction between WO3 nanoparticles and g-C3N4 nanosheets, because the temperature of thermal decomposition of WOx-EDA (∼400 °C) is close to the thermal exfoliation temperature of g-C3N4. The structure evolution and promotion effect of the nanocomposites in photocatalytic performance were well studied. It is found that WO3 nanoparticles uniformly dispersed on the surface of the g-C3N4 nanosheets, and the close integration of WO3 and g-C3N4 lead to the high photocatalytic activity in the degradation of RhB under visible light irradiation. Meanwhile, a larger specific area and increase of visible light absorption are also of benefit to speed up the degradation of organic dye. Also, the mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction and its reutilization properties were investigated.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a very sensitive method for trace analysis because of its background interference and high signal-to-noise ratio. In the past decade, the determination of Cu 2+ in environment has attracted considerable attention since it plays an essential role in many physiological processes. Herein, a novel ECL sensor based on C,N quantum dots embedded g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (C,N-QDs@NSs) was constructed for the detection of Cu 2+ . The nanocomposite was rapidly obtained via the oxidation of normal g-C 3 N 4 in H 2 O 2 solution using sonochemical synthesizing method. Due to the abundant surface defects on C,N-QDs@NSs, the ECL intensity was magnified 2.5 times for using a C,N-QDs@NSs electrode in comparision to a g-C 3 N 4 modified electrode. Besides, C,N-QDs@NSs could accelerate the rate of electron transfer in ECL reaction and thus resulted in the lower cathodic peak potential. Significantly, Cu 2+ could effectively quench the ECL of C,N-QD@NSs, which endowed C,N-QD@NSs with a great advantage in the ECL detection of Cu 2+ . under optimum conditions, C,N-QDs@NSs modified electrode exhibited a linear detection range from 5 × 10 −4 to 10 µM with a detection limit of 2 × 10 −4 µM (S/N = 3) for Cu 2+ , and was finally applied to detect Cu 2+ in real samples with satisfactory results.
