A novel g-C3N4 nanoparticle@porous g-C3N4 (CNNP@PCN) composite has been successfully fabricated by loading g-C3N4 nanoparticles on the porous g-C3N4 matrix via a simply electrostatic self-assembly method. The composition, morphological structure, optical property, and photocatalytic performance of the composite were evaluated by various measurements, including XRD, SEM, TEM, Zeta potential, DRS, PL, FTIR, and XPS. The results prove that the nanolization of g-C3N4 leads to an apparent blueshift of the absorption edge, and the energy band gap is increased from 2.84 eV of porous g-C3N4 to 3.40 eV of g-C3N4 nanoparticle (Fig. 6). Moreover, the valence band position of the g-C3N4 nanoparticle is about 0.7 eV lower than that of porous g-C3N4. Therefore, the photo-generated holes and electrons in porous g-C3N4 can transfer to the conduction band of g-C3N4 nanoparticle, thereby obtaining higher separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers as well as longer carrier lifetime. Under visible-light irradiation, 6CNNP@PCN exhibits the highest photocatalytic performance (Fig. 8) on MB, which is approximately 3.4 times as that of bulk g-C3N4.

Herein, a g-C 3 N 4 /PDI-g-C 3 N 4 homojunction has been fabricated for piezo-photocatalytic atrazine removal and exhibited better performance than individual photocatalysis or piezocatalysis. The introduction of PDI induces the π-π interaction facilitating electrons migration, and twists the g-C 3 N 4 plane into a more polar porous structure with enhanced piezoelectricity. The homojunction facilitates the photoelectron transfer at the g-C 3 N 4 /PDI-g-C 3 N 4 interfaces. The photoelectricity and the piezoelectricity of g-C 3 N 4 /PDI-g-C 3 N 4 were assessed. The finite element simulation showed that the porous structure of the g-C 3 N 4 /PDI-g-C 3 N 4 is essential to the enhanced piezoelectricity. Astonishingly, the piezo-photocatalytic atrazine degradation rate under an optimized condition (pH=2.97) reached 94% within 60 min. Moreover, the g-C 3 N 4 /PDI-g-C 3 N 4 homojunction produced 625.54 μM H 2 O 2 during the one-hour piezo-photocatalysis. Given the quenching experiments, reactive species detection and the electronic band of g-C 3 N 4 /PDI-g-C 3 N 4 , the piezo-photocatalytic mechanism has been proposed. In addition, the degradation pathways and the reduced intermediates toxicity intermediates of atrazine have been investigated.

The environmental pollution caused by antibiotics is becoming more serious. In this study, the Mn/BiPO4/g-C3N4composite (Mn-BPC) and the Ti/g-C3N4/BiPO4composite (Ti-BPC) were prepared by hydrothermal reaction method and solvent method, respectively, and applied to the degradation of tetracycline (TC) in an aqueous environment. The XRD and HRTEM results showed that these materials had the crystalline rod-like structure of BiPO4and abundant carbon, nitrogen and carbon–oxygen surface functional groups. The degradation of TC by Ti-BPC and Mn-BPC were nearly 92% and 79%, respectively. The degradation processes of TC were well consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and R2values were closer to 1. The trapping experiment showed that electron holes (h+) were the main reactive species for the degradation of tetracycline, OH· and O2−also have certain effects. Also, the possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of Ti-BPC and Mn-BPC composites was thereby proposed. TC was firstly adsorbed on the surface of catalysts, and subsequently degraded by reactive species such as h+, OH· and O2−generated under visible light excitation. This study shows that the Ti-BPC and Mn-BPC photocatalysts have great potential in antibiotic degradation and can provide new ideas for antibiotic removal in aqueous environments.Keywords:bismuth phosphate;graphite phase carbon nitride;tetracycline (TC)

CoP/g-C 3 N 4 , a kind of noble-metal-free binary photocatalyst , has been demonstrated to be active for water splitting. However, high recombination rate of charge carriers is still one of the biggest factors to restrict the photoactivity of CoP/g-C 3 N 4 . In this paper, Boron doped g-C 3 N 4 nanodots (BCNDs) were introduced to CoP/g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (CoP/CNNS) and a novel CoP/BCNDs/CNNS ternary photocatalyst was constructed. Experimental characterization and testing results indicate that BCNDs/CNNS heterojunction was formed in CoP/BCNDs/CNNS ternary photocatalyst. Comparing with CoP/g-C 3 N 4 , CoP/BCNDs/CNNS facilitates electron-hole separation, and the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate can reach 1332.81 μmolg −1 ·h −1 , which is approximately 9.7 times as high as CoP/CNNS. It owns an apparent quantum efficiency of 10.78% at 420 nm. This work would provide a novel strategy to construct high activity g-C 3 N 4 based catalyst without noble metals.

A composite was formed to improve the photo-generated carrier separation rate of semiconductor oxides synthesized by in-situ electrodeposition and calcination. ZnO/g-C3N4 was deposited on the surface of Au/FTO through simultaneous adsorbing during electrodeposition and calcination. Characterization showed the g-C3N4 layer was an ultrathin protective film above the surface of ZnO. The composite Au/ZnO/g-C3N4 had a photocurrent up to 0.24 mA/cm2 at 1.23V vs RHE, 70% higher than bare ZnO. In this structure, the holes of ZnO generated by lights can transfer to the g-C3N4 layer and electrons can transfer to the gold layer, accelerating charge transfer and reducing the accumulation of holes on the surface of ZnO, enhancing the photoresponse and stability. The separation of holes by g-C3N4 is a critical part of this structure.

Structure design of photocatalysts is highly desirable for taking full advantage of their abilities for H2 evolution. Herein, the highly-efficient TiO2{001}/g-C3N4 (TCN) heterostructures have been fabricated successfully via an in situ ethanol-thermal method. And the structure of g-C3N4 in the TCN heterostructures could be exfoliated from bulk g-C3N4 to nanosheets, nanocrystals and quantum dots with the increase of the synthetic temperature. Through detailed characterization, the structural evolution of g-C3N4 could be attributed to the enhanced temperature of the ethanol-thermal treatment with the shear effects of HF acid. As expected, the optimal TCN-2 heterostructure shows excellent photocatalytic H2 evolution efficiency (1.78 mmol h−1 g−1) under visible-light irradiation. Except for the formed built-in electric field, the significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity of TCN-2 could be ascribed to the enhanced crystallinity of TiO2{001} nanosheets and the formed g-C3N4 nanocrystals with large surface area, which could extend the visible light absorption, and expedite the transfer of photo-generated charge carriers further. Our work could provide guidance on designing TCN heterostructures with the desired structure for highly-efficient photocatalytic water splitting.

High photogenerated carrier recombination inhibits the widespread application of graphite-phase carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ). Construction of junctions is an effective strategy but still under challenges, such as tedious procedure and limited efficiency. Herein, WO x /1D g-C 3 N 4 /2D g-C 3 N 4 multi-junction with enhanced separation of photogenerated carriers was one-pot integrated through in-situ “PTA-Mel” ionic microenvironment by mixing phosphotungstic acid (PTA) and melamine (Mel). Protonated Mel by PTA contributed to the formation of 1D g-C 3 N 4 and the decomposition of [P(W 3 O 40 ) 4 ] 3- produced WO x . 1D g-C 3 N 4 and WO x with oxygen-vacancy deficient provided channels and caves for photoelectrons transfer, respectively. Compared with pure g-C 3 N 4 , the degradation rate constants of Rh B and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) by WO x /1D g-C 3 N 4 /2D g-C 3 N 4 are 2.34 and 1.45 times high respectively due to the excellent visible light absorption and improved photogenerated carrier separation. This method could be extended to the design of multiple heterojunctions in one photocatalyst through a facile process.

Doping or constructing heterojunctions by coupling with other semiconductors are effective methods to improve the photocatalytic performance of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) in toluene degradation. Herein, thermally condensed synthesized K-doped g-C 3 N 4 (KCN) is coupled with BiOCl via a hydrothermal method, and KCN/BOC heterostructures are obtained. The optimal KCN 1 /BOC heterojunction exhibits approximately 85% removal of toluene after 150 min irradiation under simulated solar light, which is 12.4 and 9.6 times higher than those of g-C 3 N 4 and BiOCl, respectively. The superior performance of KOH-modified g-C 3 N 4 is attributed to the electron transfer channels formed by the insertion of K + into the g-C 3 N 4 layers, which facilitate efficient charge separation and rapid electron transfer. Furthermore, the KCN/BOC heterostructure with the Z-scheme further improves the surface charge separation efficiency, which plays a critical role in the photocatalytic process. This work provides a facile and promising strategy for dual-strategy modification of g-C 3 N 4 to enhance photocatalytic degradation activity.

A series of graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C 3 N 4 ) were prepared using different precursors; these g-C 3 N 4 -supported CoOx catalysts exhibited different catalytic performances in toluene catalytic combustion reaction. The structure of samples was detected by XRD, TEM, SEM, XPS, H 2 -TPR, nitrogen adsorption and desorption technique, to build up the structure–performance relationship and uncover the key property of g-C 3 N 4 that mostly influences the catalytic performance of CoOx/g-C 3 N 4 . CoOx with average particle size of 12.7 nm supported on g-C 3 N 4 prepared by dicyandiamide showed better catalytic performance than on other supports, 100% toluene conversion could be achieved at ~ 285 °C, characterization results showed that Co was directly connected with N, and the integrity of g-C 3 N 4 sheet affects the dispersion of CoOx; the content of sp 2 -N (within C=N–C structure) determines the interaction between g-C 3 N 4 and CoOx; these two factors together affect the performance of CoOx/g-C 3 N 4 catalysts in the catalytic combustion of toluene.

In this paper, we prepared a large-sized multilayer C3N4 ultrathin flake photocatalyst with an approximately 90% yield rate by a facile wet mechanical grinding method. The blue shift phenomenon of the UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum and photoluminescence spectrum indicated that a quantum effect was formed with the thickness of g-C3N4 (g-CN) when decreased to ultrathin flakes. The photocatalysis water reduction for hydrogen evolution performance of ultrathin flake C3N4 (UF-CN) was approximate 3.2 times higher than that of g-CN. In addition, the photoelectrochemical (PEC) property of UF-CN was increased more dramatically than that of g-CN. There are two possible reasons for photocatalysis and PEC performances of UF-CN promotion. First, the valence band (VB) potential of UF-CN was 1.59 eV, which was 0.25 eV more positive than that of g-CN, thus the oxidation capacity of UF-CN photogenerated holes would be stronger than the bulk counterpart. Secondly, the electrons transfer capacity on the horizontal plane of UF-CN was increased with the layered structure of the g-CN exfoliated to an ultrathin structure, thus prolonging the life time of the photogenerated electrons.

A novel electrode material for supercapacitor composed of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT) and graphitic-phase C 3 N 4 (g-C 3 N 4 ) was prepared by a layer-by-layer assembly method. The resulting composite of PEDOT/g-C 3 N 4 represented excellent electrochemical stability in neutral electrolyte and enhanced electrochemical performance of capacitance and average energy density in comparison with single PEDOT. The specific capacitance was 137 F g −1 in H 2 SO 4 and 200 F g −1 in Na 2 SO 4 at a current density of 2 A g −1 , respectively. More significantly, the average energy density was 9.65 W h kg −1 at an average power density of 4001.86 W kg −1 in H 2 SO 4 . While in Na 2 SO 4 , the average energy density reached 17.5 W h kg −1 at an average power density of 5000 W kg −1 . More than 89% and 96.5% of capacitance were retained in H 2 SO 4 and Na 2 SO 4 respectively, suggesting that PEDOT/g-C 3 N 4 possessed an excellent cycling stability in view of capacity performance as electrode materials. The property improvement was attributed to the synergistic effects of the two components in the composite.

The aluminum alloy is used as the aluminum source, together with melamine and cyanuric acid, in a water reaction system to obtain the precursor of Al2O3/g-C3N4 through self-assembly in one step, and then calcined to obtain the Al2O3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalytic material. γ-Al2O3 has a defect site that can accept g-C3N4 electrons and can bind well with g-C3N4. The addition of γ-Al2O3 changed the morphology of g-C3N4 into a damaged tubular structure with many irregular pores. Also, the specific surface area increased to about 1.2 times that of g-C3N4, and the light absorption edge was extended to 500 nm. In addition, the position of the valence band of g-C3N4 was also changed. Compared with g-C3N4, Al2O3/g-C3N4 has better photocatalytic performance, and the degradation rate of dye rhodamine B (RhB) is about 1.70 times that of g-C3N4.
