Metal-free graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) catalyst was synthesized by a simple calcination of melamine. The characterization results indicate that the water treatment during preparation process is in favor of the formation of pore structure, enhancing light-harvest ability and suppressing the recombination of the photoexcited electron-hole pair. The as-prepared g-C 3 N 4 catalyst was applied in the photocatalytic selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF). The effects of incident wavelength, solvent, reaction time and scavenger on the photocatalytic performance were investigated. The results indicate that O 2 − plays a key role as dominant active species in photocatalytic oxidation of 5-HMF. Compared with visible light, the UV light illumination is easier to cause the overoxidation of target product and thus leads to a lower DFF selectivity. Under the irradiation of light with wavelength >400 nm, the highest DFF selectivity of 85.6% can be achieved with HMF conversion of 31.2% in the presence of O 2 .

DNA methylation is one of the important epigenetics events, and it is responsible for transcription, genomic imprinting and cellular differentiation. Aberrant DNA methylation is always contacted with various diseases. Herein, a simple and low-cost photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing method is proposed for detection of DNA methylation, assay of DNA methyltransferase (MTase) activity and screening of MTase inhibitor, which is based on M. SssI MTase- HpaII endonuclease system. The graphite-like C 3 N 4 (g-C 3 N 4 ) and CdS quantum dots (CdS QDs) are used as photoactive materials. After the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was treated with M. SssI MTase in the presence of S -adenosylmethionine, the methylated dsDNA cannot be digested by HpaII endonuclease and dithiol group at the terminal of dsDNA can be retained. As a result, CdS QDs could be coupled successfully with methylated dsDNA between the reaction of CdS QDs with dithiol of dsDNA, achieving the amplification of PEC response. Thus, the photocurrent of PEC biosensor is consistent with the M. SssI activity. The increased photocurrent was in proportion to M. SssI activity in the linear range from 1 to 80 U/mL with a detection limit of 0.316 U/mL. Furthermore, the effects of atrazine and azamethipos on M. SssI MTase activity were investigated, which might provide useful information on carcinogenic mechanism of pesticide. The PEC biosensor has potential to screen of DNA MTase inhibitor, providing valuable information for anti-cancer drug research and also for cancer therapy.

Manganese selenide (MnSe) nanoparticles as nanocatalysts may present enhanced peroxidase-like catalysis if loaded on conductive graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) supports. In this work, MnSe nanoparticles were successfully loaded on the surface of polymeric g-C 3 N 4 as a cocatalyst through a thermal condensation method by calcinating the mixture of pure MnSe, dicyandiamide and cyanuric acid . The morphology and composition of thus-prepared MnSe loaded doped graphite phase carbon nitride nanosheets (MnSe-g-C 3 N 4 ) were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM , X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Structural analyses revealed that the MnSe-g-C 3 N 4 nanoparticles are composed of ultrathin nanosheets with 20 nm lateral diameter. Compared with original MnSe and g-C 3 N 4 , the prepared MnSe-g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets could achieve higher aqueous stability and, especially, much stronger peroxidase-like catalysis, presumably resulting from the synergetic effects of conductive carbon nitride and lamellate MnSe nanocatalysts effectively loaded. Significantly, MnSe-g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were proved to be novel peroxidase mimetics which could quickly catalyze oxidation of the peroxidase substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H 2 O 2 , producing a blue colored solution. Kinetic analysis indicates that the catalytic behavior satisfy typical Michaelis–Menten kinetics and follows a ping-pong mechanism. Colorimetric detections of H 2 O 2 and glucose using the MnSe-g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were conducted with high detection sensitivities, demonstrating the feasibility of practical sensing applications. It is therefore believed that our findings in this study could open up the possibility of utilizing MnSe-g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets as enzymatic mimics in diagnostics and biotechnology fields.

Herein, we proposed a simple method to measure the inner resistance of a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor. Three photoanodes, including TiO 2 nanotubes array (TiO 2 NTs), g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 NTs and Mn 3 (BTC) 2 /g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 NTs (BTC = 1,3,5-benzene- tricarboxylic acid), were chosen as the models. It was shown the change in inner resistance of the photoanode is the main factor for the photocurrent response in a PEC sensor. Under light excitation, the inner resistance of the photoanode is reduced remarkably, resulting in the increment in the photocurrent. The influence of the light intensity on the inner resistance is less than that on the photocurrent, due to the synchronous change in photovoltage . With increasing concentration of hole scavengers (e.g., H 2 O 2 , ascorbic acid), the steady inner resistances of the three photoanodes are decreased. In the PEC sensor with Mn 3 (BTC) 2 /g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 NTs, the Mn 3 (BTC) 2 layer is served as a size-exclusion filter to prevent the diffusion of molecules with size larger than the apertures in crystals, which improves the selectivity of the PEC sensor to smaller molecules (e.g., H 2 O 2 ). The catalytic effect of Mn 3 (BTC) 2 to H 2 O 2 enhances the PEC response sensitivity to H 2 O 2 . Under optimized conditions, the reciprocal of the averaged steady effective inner resistance of Mn 3 (BTC) 2 /g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 NTs is in a linear correlation with the logarithmic concentration of H 2 O 2 in the range of 0.003 to 10 μM with a limit of detection of 1 nM. This PEC sensor was applied for H 2 O 2 determination in exhaled breath condensate samples.

200–420 nm UV light was for the first time introduced for CO 2 photocatalytic reduction over graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ). It was surprisingly found that thiourea derived g-C 3 N 4 (TCN), which showed inferior activity in CO 2 reduction under visible light irradiation, exhibited more remarkable CO 2 conversion efficiency under >200 nm light irradiation compared to g-C 3 N 4 synthesized from urea (UCN) and commercial TiO 2 (P25). Also, the highest selectivity to CO 2 conversion was observed over TCN while P25 showed the most prominent H 2 production followed by UCN. Through a series of characterizations, the more abundant –NH x species that were responsible for CO 2 activation, the enhanced reducing ability of photo-excited electrons under UV light and the higher photo-exited electron-hole separation efficiency were supposed to contribute to the excellent CO 2 photocatalytic reduction activity of TCN under >200 nm UV–vis light irradiation, whilst its visible-light activity was relatively weak because of its limited surface area. Further, TCN performed a wonderful stability with a good record of circle tests in this irradiation condition.

In nature, metalloporphyrins, such as chlorophyll, cytochrome P450 and so forth, are key materials in maintaining the ecological cycles, especially the carbon cycle, and play an important role in both photosynthesis and the catalytic oxidation of organisms. Inspired by these factors, we skillfully combined photocatalysis and biomimetic catalysis using imidazole (IMD)-functionalized modification of g-C 3 N 4 and axial coordination with hemin. Compared with pure hemin, g-C 3 N 4 and a mixture of the two, our novel catalytic system (g-C 3 N 4 -IMD-hemin/H 2 O 2 ) showed high photocatalytic oxidation activity for the degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), and the stability of hemin was enhanced under solar irradiation. Furthermore, the effect of pH and the sustained photocatalytic oxidation stability of g-C 3 N 4 -IMD-hemin for degrading 4-CP were investigated. The results indicated that g-C 3 N 4 -IMD-hemin presents a high photocatalytic oxidation activity over a wide pH range and exhibits good recyclability. A series of designed experiments showed that superoxide radicals ( O 2 − ), high-valent iron (Fe(IV) = O) species, peroxy radicals ( OOH) and few hydroxyl radicals ( OH) were generated in the g-C 3 N 4 -IMD-hemin/H 2 O 2 system. This synergistic photocatalytic and biomimetic process offers new insight for the utilization of solar energy and offers a new perspective for the exploration of catalysts for environmental remediation.

The effect of TiO 2 crystal phase on the photocatalytic properties of TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction photocatalyst under sunlight irradiation was investigated through experiments and theoretical calculations. Results reveal that for TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction photocatalyst, anatase phase TiO 2 can adjust the band edge positions to ensure the generation of strongly oxidizing radical species (·O 2- and ·OH), and rutile phase TiO 2 can effectively reduce the band gap to more efficiently utilize sunlight. Consequently, the combination of g-C 3 N 4 with P25 TiO 2 composed of both anatase and rutile phases is the most favorable combination for sunlight-driven photocatalyst among the obtained three TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction photocatalyst. P25 TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 form a type-II/type-II heterostructure with stepped heterojunction and concave heterojunction. The P/CN photocatalyst exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity with degradation efficiencies for naphthalene reaching 100% within 120 min of sunlight irradiation, as well as considerable stability. The combination of P25 TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 has shown significant potentials in improving the separation and transfer efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, as well as enhancing the utilization of sunlight in photocatalytic process. This work provides a promising strategy for the preparation of highly active TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction photocatalyst for the effective treatment of naphthalene from water.

There has been extensive research on conductive hydrogels, however, the current lack of practical applications is a significant issue. The crucial challenge lies in effectively integrating conductive hydrogels into practical use. Here, a uniform multifunctional hydrogel was facilely fabricated by integrating nitrogen-doped carbon capsules (N-Cc) and g-C 3 N 4 to PEO/PVA hydrogels (VECGNC). The introduction of a double network structure through carbon material endows the VECGNC hydrogel with exceptional mechanical strength (stress: 47.2 kPa; strain: 318 %) and high electrical conductivity (0.025 S cm −1 ). And it showed a good linear relationship between the temperature and pressure difference. Taking advantage of these properties, a logic gate circuit capable of sensing external pressure changes and effecting corresponding adjustments was constructed. Moreover, the strain sensitivity hydrogel designed in this work is capable of intelligent new traffic lights. Our work offers novel insights and methodologies for the utilization of multifunctional hydrogels in multi-scenario temperature and strains ensing applications.

The toxicity of antibiotic and heavy metal combined pollutants is greater than single antibiotic, achieving its synergistic removal is the key. In this work, a novel g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 photocatalyst with hollow structure (CN/MS-V-3) was fabricated by one-step solvothermal method . As expected, CN/MS-V-3 showed an outstanding removal efficiency for tetracycline and Cu 2+ of 98.49% and 99.90%, respectively. The excellent photocatalytic degradation performance for tetracycline in compound wastewater mainly ascribed to the enhanced visible-light capture ability by hollow structure of CN/MS-V-3, formation 1 O 2 and ·OH, and the cycle of Cu 2+ /Cu + and Mo 2+ /Mo 4+ induced the fast electrons transport . The contamination of Cu 2+ in wastewater can play as an accelerator in the CN/MS-V-3 reaction system to improve the degradation performance of tetracycline. DFT results indicated that CN/MS-V-3 heterojunction was formed by combination of side surface MoS 2 –V and g-C 3 N 4 , and the Cu adsorption onto CN/MS-V-3 showed a potential formation of Cu–N and Cu–S bonds. In addition, the tetracycline degradation pathways and evaluation of toxicity of intermediates were also proposed. This work not only provides a promising technology for antibiotic and heavy metal combined contamination removal, but also a clever use of Cu variable valence to accelerate electron cycling to improve the removal performance of the CN/MS-V-3.

In contrast to traditional metal oxides that engage in only two valence state conversions, multivalent metal oxides offer additional electrons, thus accelerating the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and enhancing catalytic activity. However, the low efficiency of converting between high-valent and low-valent metal ions often limits catalytic performance. In this study, we employed a combined hydrothermal and thermal polymerization strategy to load multivalent vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 ) onto graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), thereby constructing a V 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction. This heterojunction formed a built-in electric field, facilitating PMS activation and achieving a record-breaking degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP) with a rate constant of 1.13 min −1 . Experimental and theoretical analyses indicated that the synergy between radical and non-radical pathways was the primary mechanism for efficient CAP removal. The built-in electric field altered orbital occupancy, reduced the bandgap, and enhanced electron transfer from g-C 3 N 4 to V 2 O 5 , accelerating the conversion between vanadium valence states and enhancing PMS activation. Furthermore, the V 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 /PMS system exhibited a broad operational pH range (2–10), robust resistance to matrix interference, and exceptional durability, demonstrating its applicability for mitigating ecological toxicity of CAP and treating typical refractory organic pollutants. This study advances the understanding of how built-in electric fields promote PMS activation and introduces a novel approach for addressing emerging pollutants in aquatic environments.

In the quest to enhance photocatalytic performance, structural regulation and interface engineering stand out as effective strategies for amplifying active sites and fostering the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. In this study, a pioneering approach was employed, utilizing a straightforward two-step calcination method to prepare a novel photocatalyst : porous graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 , CN) nanosheets (NS) loaded with mesoporous cerium oxide (CeO 2 /CNNS). The distinctive architecture of CeO 2 /CNNS not only elevates the specific surface area and catalytic active sites but also facilitates efficient mass transfer. Experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations corroborate the existence of an internal electric field (IEF) within the Z-scheme heterojunction formed by uniformly dispersed CeO 2 and CNNS. This IEF proves pivotal in promoting charge separation and migration, thereby maintaining robust redox capabilities. Under visible light irradiation, CeO 2 /CNNS demonstrates an impressive 4.2-fold increase in the hydrogen production rate compared to bulk g-C 3 N 4 (BCN), coupled with a 48.5% boost in the photocatalytic degradation rate constant (k) of tetracycline (TC). This study not only unveils the innovative design of CeO 2 /CNNS but also paves the way for a fresh perspective on the design and preparation of multifunctional photocatalysts.
