Photodynamic antimicrobial therapy via producing ROS based on light-responsive nanoparticles has attracted worldwide attention because of the high selectivity and low side effects. However, biofilms and bacterial membranes provide a natural barrier to prevent the penetration of ROS, which impairs the photodynamic antibacterial efficiency of nanoparticles. Photothermal therapy is an effective strategy against biofilms and bacterial membranes because high temperature can destroy the biofilm structure and enhance the membrane permeability. Herein, Bi2S3 nanorods were anchored on the surface of zinc-doped g-C3N4 (ZnCN) nanosheets to construct a ZnCN-Bi2S3 nanocomposite; then, it was incorporated into poly-l-lactic acid and prepared into scaffolds by the selective laser sintering technology. Bi2S3 nanorods not only endowed the scaffold with an excellent photothermal property but also strengthened the photodynamic effect of ZnCN nanosheets after forming the nanocomposite. The results showed that this nanocomposite had a lower recombination rate of photogenerated electron–hole pairs and produced higher photocurrent compared to those of the g-C3N4 nanosheets and Bi2S3 nanorods. The scaffold destroyed the biofilm and elevated the bacterial membrane permeability significantly and finally achieved 98.5% antibacterial rate for Staphylococcus aureus and 96.3% antibacterial rate for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Encouragingly, the scaffold could also promote chondrogenic differentiation because of the continuous release of Zn ions. The scaffold containing ZnCN-Bi2S3 nanocomposites possessed excellent antimicrobial and cartilage regeneration functions, which displayed great potential in treating tracheal injuries.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising next-generation energy storage devices due to high theoretical energy density and low-cost. Nevertheless, the practical applications are hindered by polysulfide shuttling effect, low electrical conductivity of sulfur, and slower conversion kinetics. Here, the graphited g -C 3 N 4 assembled with highly-dispersed nickel (HDNi@ g -C 3 N 4 ) is designed as a catalyst to accelerate the reaction kinetics of lithium polysulfide. The oxidized Ni sites of HDNi@ g -C 3 N 4 molecules significantly accommodate the orbital for the electron clouds of polysulfide by forming S n 2– ‧‧‧Ni-N active site, thus efficiently improving redox kinetics and mitigating shuttle effects. Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, HDNi@ g -C 3 N 4 exhibits a superior metallicity with increased density of states (DOS) at the Fermi energy level. Then, the narrowed energy gap between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level contributes to the enhanced conductivity of catalyst molecular and fast combination between electrons and Li + ions. Moreover, the positive Gibbs free energy change is significantly decreased for the HDNi@ g -C 3 N 4 cathode. The Li-S battery exhibits a high reversible capacity of 1, 271.6 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C and a high rate capacity of 571.96 mAh g −1 at 2.0 C, a preferable cycling stability with a capacity retention of 53 % even after 500 cycles at a 1.0 C, and an average decay rate of 0.733 % per cycle.

Nitrogen oxide (NOx) removal has long been a subject that has motivated researchers to develop a diverse range of techniques, including physical adsorption, biofiltration, low temperature plasma, selective catalytic reduction, and photocatalytic oxidation. In this work, Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 lead-free perovskite was synthesized via in-situ growth on a 3D flower-like g-C 3 N 4 microsphere, which uses a series of Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 /g-C 3 N 4 (labeled as X% CBB/CN, where X = 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50) heterojunctions for the photocatalytic removal of NOx. The efficiency of NO removal was enhanced considerably, compared with that of the pristine elements, when irradiated with a 300 W Xe lamp with the concentration of NO at the ppb level. The results of photocurrent measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are consistent with the results of the NO removal test. Electron spin resonance results verified that ⋅OH and ⋅O 2 − are formed under visible light irradiation. We report the detailed mechanism for the photocatalytic process of NO removal by CBB/CN heterojunctions and provide insights into the potential applications of lead-free perovskite-based heterostructures in the field of photocatalysis.

The development of a highly effective non-noble metal catalyst for the synthesis of cyclohexanols with high selectivity is very important for the value-added utilization of lignin-derived phenolic compounds. In this paper, a promising Co/NPCN (nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanotubes) catalyst with Co nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon for selective hydrogenating of phenol was prepared by introducing an appropriate amount of g-C3N4 (graphitic carbon nitride) into the preparation of ZIF-67 (Zeolite imidazolate framework). Characterization results reveal that the introduction of g-C3N4 of an appropriate amount reduces the size of Co NPs, improves the specific surface area and pore volume, and facilitates the formation of Co0. Full phenol conversion with 100% cyclohexanol selectivity could be achieved at 120 °C, 3 h and 2 MPa H2 over Co/NPCN. In addition, Co/NPCN presents great stability and scalability of the substrate in the phenol hydrogenation reaction. The DFT (density functional theory) calculations reveal that the parallel adsorption configuration of phenol is preferential, which favors the hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanol with high selectivity.

In this study, a series of ternary composite photocatalysts ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 /AgCl( x ) ( x is the amount of AgCl added, x =0.05, 0.1, 0.15 g) were synthesized, and various characterization methods were used to analyze the morphology, structural, and photochemical properties of the above samples. The photocatalytic activity of the obtained samples was evaluated by degrading rhodamine B (RhB) and acid orange (AOII) under xenon lamp irradiation. The results show that the degradation rate of ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 /AgCl (0.1 g) is 99% within 60 min, which is much higher than the 38% degradation rate of g-C 3 N 4 . After five cycles, the degradation efficiency of RhB and AOII by ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 /AgCl (0.1 g) were still 85% and 94%, respectively. In addition to colored dyes, the photocatalytic degradation of colorless tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) compounds was also investigated to understand the effect of photosensitization on the degradation process. Based on the electronic structure analysis of the DFT calculations, a staggered heterojunction structure was found between g-C 3 N 4 , ZnO, and AgCl. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the ternary composite is mainly attributed to the efficient separation of charge carriers through the synergistic removal of photogenerated electrons in g-C 3 N 4 by ZnO and AgCl. Radical trapping experiments confirmed that •O 2 − and h + were the main active species in the reaction system. As a visible light-responsive catalyst, ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 /AgCl can be effectively applied to the degradation of organic dye pollutants and has broad application prospects.

It is well known that the design of precursor structure is an effective method to optimize the photocatalytic activity of g-C 3 N 4 , and it will be interesting to investigate the relationship between the precursor structure and the structure of the target catalyst. In this paper, by adjusting the addition amount of glutaraldehyde (GA), three kinds of glutaraldehyde/dicyandiamide (GA/DCDA) precursors with equilibrium/imbalance hydrogen bond interaction can be obtained, and the carbonized glutaraldehyde (C-GA)/g-C 3 N 4 composite catalysts with different carbon content can be obtained after calcination. The obtained C-GA/g-C 3 N 4 composite catalysts have different photocatalytic activity for methylene blue degradation. Compared with the original g-C 3 N 4 , the photocatalytic activity of C-GA/g-C 3 N 4 -2 composite is increased by 2.69 times. Through the analysis of thermal decomposition kinetics and structural characterization, we can see that the equilibrium interaction in the structure of GA/DCDA-2 precursor can promote the conversion of dicyandiamide to melamine, and glutaraldehyde carbonization will form more C-GA, and form a composite catalyst with closer interaction with g-C 3 N 4 . C-GA with close interaction and higher content can effectively promote the separation of photogenerated carriers and visible light absorption, thus improving its photocatalytic activity.

Carbon dots (CDs) due to their excellent photostability, good biocompatibility and multicolor fluorescence, have been preferentially selected as luminescent fluorophores and co-assembled with various chiral host templates in recent years. The as-prepared composites exhibit marvellous circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity and show promising potentials in the fields of stereopsis and optoelectronic display, which have drawn increasing attention. However, the fussy assembly procedure and over-reliance on template chirality extremely limit the design and application of CDs-composited materials in the field of CPL. In this work, we directly prepared the CDs-composited G-quartet hydrogels with CPL activity using a one-step microwave-assisted method, and their helical chiral structure and CPL orientation can be arbitrarily switched back and forth between left-handed and right-handed through K + and formation kinetics. Finally, the CDs-composited G-quartet hydrogels can be applied in anti-counterfeiting printing for encrypted information transfer, and their outstanding thermal cycling stability and CPL dissymmetry factor (g lum ) of up to 10 −1 demonstrate a wider application potential in CPL active materials based on CDs.

The development of highly-permeable reverse osmosis membranes has yet been pursued as a basis for efficient water purification/desalination. In this study, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanomaterials with three structures, including one-dimensional (1D) g-C 3 N 4 nanorods , two-dimensional (2D) g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets and one/two-dimensional (1D/2D) g-C 3 N 4 nanohybrids were dispersed into polyamide layer for preparation of thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes. The effects of different structures of g-C 3 N 4 nanomaterials on the microstructure and performance of membranes were investigated. Compared with polyamide membrane, 1D/2D nanohybrids incorporated TFN membrane had more open and larger nodular structures with abundant water channels. The surface roughness was decreased, the negativity and hydrophilicity were improved. The water permeability of resultant TFN membrane increased to 3.63 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 for 2000 ppm NaCl brackish solution, 3.4 times that of PA membrane, with a high rejection of about 99.0 %. Even for 32,000 ppm NaCl solution, almost the same as the concentration of seawater, the water permeability of TFN membrane still maintained at 1.73 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , 1.4 times that of PA membrane. Meanwhile, antifouling performance of membranes was systematically analyzed under organic foulant, inorganic foulant and mixed organic-inorganic foulants, which proved the excellent antifouling performance of resultant TFN membranes. In a word, the 1D/2D nanohybrids incorporated TFN membrane exhibited superior permeability and antifouling performance to 1D nanorods or 2D nanosheets incorporated ones, confirming the effectiveness of 1D/2D g-C 3 N 4 nanohybrids for modification of reverse osmosis membrane and promising for more applications.

Continuous photocatalysis is achieved by using light-storing assisted photocatalytic composites, but little is known about the interactions between photocatalysts and long afterglow materials. g-C 3 N 4 /Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 :(Eu,Dy) with a sustained reaction activity was prepared by pyrolysis polymerization, and its optical-photocatalysis behaviors were studied. It was found that the light absorption ability and NO removal effect were improved, but the luminescence-afterglow performance became worse. The interface model of g-C 3 N 4 /Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 :(Eu,Dy) was constructed for the first time. On the basis of experimental analyses, its electronic structure and carrier transfer paths were studied by First-principles calculations, and reasons behind the changes in macro performance were revealed. The results showed that Eu 4 f electrons are difficult to return to the Eu 5d orbits after being captured by C 2p orbits, leading to the reduction of light energy radiation; the built-in electric field and energy band offsets between g-C 3 N 4 and Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 :(Eu,Dy) promote the transfer of photoinduced carriers, which follows a traditional type-II mechanism, resulting in enhanced photocatalytic activity and decreased luminescence-afterglow performance. This paper reveals the relationship between optical-photocatalysis behaviors and the electronic structure of g-C 3 N 4 /Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 :(Eu,Dy). It provides a reference for designing and optimizing light-storing assisted photocatalytic composites.

The reinforced light-harvesting capability, suppressed photocarrier recombination and increased specific surface area represented a possibility of excellent photocatalytic performance for graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 )-based photocatalysts . Herein, the porous 1,3,5-Trihydroxybenzene substituted g-C 3 N 4 (denoted as PTBCN) composites with superior visible-light-driven photocatalytic properties were rationally constructed via a two-step reaction combination of freeze-drying and thermal-polymerization. The optimal PTBCN-2 achieved the maximum photocatalytic Rhodamine B (Rh B) degradation and H 2 O 2 evolution rate constants, nearly 6.56 and 3.17 times higher than that of bare g-C 3 N 4 . The outstanding performances of PTBCN-2 were probably attributed to the extended specific surface area, robust visible light response, adjusted electronic band structure , accelerated separation and transfer of photocarriers as well as good hydrophilicity. As a result, the above integrated merits were directly responsible for the huge superoxide anion ( • O 2 − ) generation, which dominated the efficient photocatalytic reactions. This work provided a new idea to design and construct high efficiency porous aromatic ring substituted g-C 3 N 4 -related photocatalysts for organic pollutants degradation and H 2 O 2 production.

In recent years, with the large-scale use of antibiotics, the pollution of antibiotics in the environment has become increasingly serious and has attracted widespread attention. In this study, a novel CDs/g-C3N4/BiPO4(CDBPC) composite was successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method for the removal of the antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) in water. The experimental results showed that the synthesized photocatalyst was crystalline rods and cotton balls, accompanied by overlapping layered nanosheet structures, and the specific surface area was as high as 518.50 m2/g. This photocatalyst contains g-C3N4and bismuth phosphate (BiPO4) phases, as well as abundant surface functional groups such as C=N, C-O, and P-O. When the optimal conditions were pH 4, CDBPC dosage of 1 g/L, and TC concentration of 10 mg/L, the degradation rate of TC reached 75.50%. Active species capture experiments showed that the main active species in this photocatalytic system were holes (h+), hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide anion radicals. The reaction mechanism for the removal of TC by CDBPC was also proposed. The removal of TC was mainly achieved by the synergy between the adsorption of CDBPC and the oxidation of both holes and hydroxyl radicals. In this system, TC was adsorbed on the surface of CDBPC, and then the adsorbed TC was degraded into small molecular products by an attack with holes and hydroxyl radicals and finally mineralized into carbon dioxide and water. This study indicated that this novel photocatalyst CDBPC has a huge potential for antibiotic removal, which provides a new strategy for antibiotic treatment of wastewater.Keywords:carbon dots;photocatalysis;graphitic carbon nitride;bismuth phosphate;tetracycline hydrochloride

The development of non-noble metal catalysts with high efficiency for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of bio-oil is of great importance for the utilization of lignin biomass resources. As a crucial lignin-based platform chemical, vanillin is a promising candidate for the production of fine chemicals and polymers. Here, a promising non-noble Co–Zn/NPC catalyst (NPC: nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials) for the HDO of vanillin was prepared by pyrolysis of Co–Zn zeolite imidazolate framework/graphitic carbon nitride (Co–Zn-ZIF/g-C3N4) composites. Full vanillin conversion with 99% MMP (2-methoxy-4-methylphenol) selectivity could be achieved at 100 °C and 1 MPa H2 over 4Co–1Zn/NPC. Characterization results indicate that the presence of g-C3N4 promotes the formation of mesopores, which is beneficial for fast mass transfer. Additionally, the introduction of Zn downsizes the size of Co nanoparticles, and lowers the electron density around the Co atoms in Co–Zn/NPC catalysts, which can accelerate the hydrogenation of vanillin. More importantly, the Zn introduced in the catalyst may function as a basic site to facilitate the conversion of the intermediate HMP (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol) into MMP, thus enhancing the MMP selectivity. Moreover, Co–Zn/NPC presents excellent stability in the HDO reaction of vanillin. This work provides some useful insights into the design of novel non-noble metal catalysts with high efficiency for HDO of bio-oil.
