Heat treatment strategy has been initially used to prepare boron doped graphite carbon nitride nanodots (BCNDs)/carbon-rich g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (CNS) heterojunction catalysts. The overall procedure involved three stages. First, BCNDs were prepared by the molten salt method. Next, BCNDs were dispersed onto CNS via heat treatment. Finally, the prepared heterojunction catalysts were test for photocatalytic water splitting hydrogen evolution . The experiment results show that the highest photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity reached 6260.5 µmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which was approximately 15.7, 7.2 and 3.1 folds higher than that of bulk carbon nitride (bulk C 3 N 4 ), CNS and BCNDs/CNS-H prepared by hydrothermal method , respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic performance may be attributed to the synergistic effect of the formation of heterojunction and the increase of C content in carbon nitride. This work provides reliable guideline for the design of a novel and simple method for composite photocatalyst .

The development of a stable and highly active photocatalyst has garnered significant attention in the field of wastewater treatment. In this study, a novel technique involving a facile stirring method was devised to fabricate an array of g-C3N4/ZnO nanowire (ZnO NW) composites. Through the introduction of g-C3N4to augment the generation of electron-hole pairs upon exposure to light, the catalytic efficacy of these composites was found to surpass that of the pristine ZnO NWs when subjected to simulated sunlight. The photocatalytic performance of a 20 mg·L−1methylene blue solution was found to be highest when the doping rate was 25 wt%, resulting in a degradation rate of 99.1% after 60 min. The remarkable enhancement in catalytic efficiency can be ascribed to the emergence of a captivating hetero-junction at the interface of g-C3N4and ZnO NWs, characterized by a harmoniously aligned band structure. This alluring arrangement effectively curtailed charge carrier recombination, amplified light absorption, and augmented the distinct surface area, culminating in a notable boost to the photocatalytic prowess. These findings suggest that the strategic engineering of g-C3N4/ZnO NW heterostructures holds tremendous promise as a pioneering avenue for enhancing the efficacy of wastewater treatment methodologies.Keywords:g-C3N4;ZnO NW;heterostructure;photodegradation

In this work, a simple method to load of g-C 3 N 4 quantum dots (CN QDs) onto Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 (BTO) microsphere with the amount of CN QDs (3, 7, 10 and 15%). The photocatalyst was used for the treatment of water pollutants under visible-light illumination, which proved that CNBTO composites showed improved photocatalytic activity matched up to pure BTO. Reformation of BTO with CN QDs enhanced the light assimilation capacity, and promoted the isolation of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. The trapping experiments and ESR were announced the holes (h + ) and superoxide oxide (O 2 − ) played the key role, and the relative mechanism of the photocatalytic process was proposed. Meanwhile, the effects of CN QDs content, pH and initial pollutant concentration on the removal efficiency of ciprofloxacin (CIP) were studied. Results showed that the CN QDs loaded on BTO presented higher photocatalytic efficiency, and an optimum value for the dosage of photocatalytic in pH 8.0.

By incorporating hemin into G-quadruplex (G4) during cation-templated self-assembly between guanosine and KB(OH)4, we have constructed an artificial enzyme hydrogel (AEH)-based system for the highly sensitive and selective detection of Pb2+. The sensing strategy is based on a Pb2+-induced decrease in AEH activity. Because of the higher efficiency of Pb2+ for stabilizing G4 compared with K+, the Pb2+ ions substitute K+ and trigger hemin release from G4, thus giving rise to a conformational interconversion accompanied by the loss of enzyme activity. The Pb2+-induced catalytic interconversion endows the AEH-based system with high sensitivity and selectivity for detecting Pb2+. As a result, the AEH-based system shows an excellent response for Pb2+ in the range from 1 pM to 50 nM with a limit of detection of ∼0.32 pM, which is much lower than that of the previously reported G4-DNAzyme. We also demonstrate that this AEH-based system exhibits high selectivity toward Pb2+ over other metal ions. Furthermore, two two-input INHIBIT logic gates have been constructed via switching of the catalytic interconversion induced by K+ and Pb2+ or K+ and pH. Given its versatility, this AEH-based system provides a novel platform for sensing and biomolecular computation.

Ternary heterojunction photocatalysts can improve the transport and separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, which could promote their reduction and oxidation properties for environmental and energy applications. In this research, the ternary photocatalyst Ti3C2@TiO2/g-C3N4was successfully synthesized via direct electrostatic self-assembly during hydrothermal process. Ti3C2MXene was used to optimize the interfacial carrier transport and separation between the interfaces. The obtained ternary heterostructured photocatalyst had a higher photocatalytic degradation performance for removing rhodamine B (RhB) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The synergistic effect of heterojunction between g-C3N4and TiO2and Schottky barrier presented among TiO2and Ti3C2suppressed the recombination of the photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Moreover, the Ti3C2can serve as an active site for the adsorption and activation of organic pollutants resulting from sufficient functional groups (F−here).Keywords:Ti3C2;g-C3N4;heterojunction;photocatalyst;4-chlorophenol

BiVO 4 is known for its ability to decompose water under visible light irradiation. However, BiVO 4 overall suffers from rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers, low photochemical conversion efficiency, low specific surface area, poor conductivity, and weak adsorption capacity of dye. These features limited its application in photocatalysis. In this work, ternary Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 nanocomposites were successfully fabricated by in situ electrostatic adsorption of g-C 3 N 4 sheets on RGO/BiVO 4 surface using hydrothermal and thermal oxidations processes. The ternary Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 nanocomposites were then tested for photodegradation of Rhodamine B. The introduction of graphene into direct Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 nanocomposites as an electronic accelerator efficiently enhanced the photocatalytic properties. The as-prepared g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 composites exhibited optimal visible light responses with significantly improved photocatalytic performances toward degradation of Rhodamine B. The degradation efficiency using ternary photocatalyst reached 100% after 20 min of irradiation time. The reaction rate constant was estimated to 1.537, which was almost 29- and 20-folds higher than those of pure g-C 3 N 4 and binary g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 , respectively. The synergistic effect between BiVO 4 , RGO and g-C 3 N 4 yielded g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 composites with Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism, promoting rapid separation and slow recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs with strong photocatalytic activity. Overall, these findings look promising for design of future Z-scheme photocatalysts for environmental degradation of organic dyes.

Suffering from inefficient separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers, the deeply photocatalytic oxidation of NO-to-NO 3 – over g-C 3 N 4 is still a daunting challenge. Well-designed heterojunction photocatalysts have been proven to be effective in steering charge transfer for achieving a particular migration path and more active sites, which hold huge promise in further performance stimulation. Herein, in-situ face-to-face hydrothermal approach is developed to prepare a multilayer heterostructure O doping g-C 3 N 4 (O-g-C 3 N 4 ) with W 18 O 49 (O-g-C 3 N 4 @W 18 O 49 ). The experimental and theoretical results show that the unique multilayer heterostructure can improve the separation efficiency of carriers by changing the electron migration path. Moreover, doping O atoms are identified as the newly formed active centers to largely facilitate the activation of NO. Impressively, the O-g-C 3 N 4 @W 18 O 49 photocatalyst thus exhibits largely improved photocatalytic NO removal rate (56.7 %, 0.1 g of sample) and high selectivity of NO to NO 3 – (98.3 %). It outperforms the reported photocatalysts materials in visible light. This study not only provides a facile strategy for experimentally screening advanced photocatalytic materials, but also paves the way for the deep oxidation of NO.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction can simultaneously alleviate the energy crisis and solve environmental issues. Nevertheless, it is still challenging for designing photocatalysts with efficient carrier mobility in rational. Herein, the Bi 2 MoO 6 /g-C 3 N 4 (BMO/CN) heterostructure was constructed through a microwave-assisted which could enhance the construction of two-dimensional and two-dimensional (2D/2D) structures. The 2D/2D BMO/CN heterojunction possessed excellent charge separation efficiency which exhibited superior performance on photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. It was shown by the characterization that the (131) surface of Bi 2 MoO 6 was constructed with the (100) surface of g-C 3 N 4 . The work functions of Bi 2 MoO 6 and g-C 3 N 4 were determined to be 4.57 and 4.22 eV, respectively, which suggested the type-II heterojunction was formed. The formation of CO and CH 3 OH over the optimized BMO/CN-30% catalyst reached 2.44 and 3.61 µmol⋅g −1 ⋅h −1 , respectively. The immediate products of HCO 3 - were observed within in-situ FT-IR to further certify the evolution of CH 3 OH. This work highlighted a microwave-assisted strategy to build a heterojunction structure for enhancing photoreduction CO 2 .

Deep debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) by visible light photocatalysis is still a challenge in the field of halogenated pollutants control. Here, an efficient photocatalyst (Pd/g-C 3 N 4 ) was prepared by a simple impregnation-chemical reduction method with bulk g-C 3 N 4 and PdCl 2 as precursors. Under preferred reaction conditions (visible light irradiation for 120 min), the use of the 0.5% Pd/g-C 3 N 4 composites (0.4 g L −1 ) yielded an almost complete debromination of BDE47 (10 μmol L −1 ) in methanol-water mixture, while the debromination of BDE47 did not occur on pure g-C 3 N 4 . A “Pd-promoted active H atom species attack and C-Br bond cleavage” route was proposed according to the identified degradation intermediates. A catalytic mechanism was further clarified: Pd nanoparticles exerted affinity interaction with bromine atoms, and the storing of electrons on Pd would increase the binding interaction. In the debromination process, methanol acts as both a hole scavenger and a hydrogen donor to provide active H atom species through the reaction of H + and photogenerated electrons on Pd nanoparticles. The initiation of BDE47 debromination on Pd nanoparticles required an induction period to enrich a critical amount of electrons for stretching the C-Br bond and its subsequent being attacked by active H atoms. The generated 2,2′-dibromodiphenyl ether (BDE4) would be further reduced to bromine-free products by hydro-debromination process or coupling reaction.

DNA-based biomimetic enzymes have attracted extensive attention due to their unique structure and stability compared to natural enzymes. Meanwhile, the specific sequences of DNA itself also have a catalytic effect. Herein, we first designed three guanine-rich DNA sequences numbered c−Myc3c, PG4TC, and TTT to construct g−quadruplex/hemin DNAzymes. Then, the g−quadruplex/hemin DNAzymes with the best activity were selected by a comprehensive examination of activity, degradation rate, and affinity. Subsequently, the stability and reusability of UiO66−DNAzymes were investigated using UiO66 as the carrier to immobilize DNAzymes. The results showed that UiO66−DNAzymes had excellent reusability and stability. Finally, UiO66−DNAzymes were successfully used for glucose detection by cascading with glucose oxidase (GOx) with a detection limit of 0.62 μM. The constructed glucose sensor had a good specificity, which is of great significance for developing a novel, accurate, fast, and economical glucose detection sensor.Keywords:metal-organic frameworks;DNAzymes;enzyme immobilization;biomimetic enzymes;glucose detection

The removal of pollutant using photocatalysis technology has received much attention due to the increasing serious environmental contamination. In this study, novel Nb 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunctions were fabricated via a facile one-step heating strategy for the first time. Compared to pure g-C 3 N 4 and Nb 2 O 5 , the as-prepared Nb 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 samples exhibited remarkably enhancing photocatalytic activity for degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) both under visible and simulated solar light irradiation. It was found that the 3% Nb 2 O 5 content of heterojunction (3%NO/CN) showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency for TC-HCl degradation, which is about 2.9-fold and 2.4-fold higher than that of pristine g-C 3 N 4 under visible and simulated solar light irradiation, respectively. In addition, the 3%NO/CN sample not only displayed excellent photocatalytic recyclability, but also can efficiently remove TC-HCl even under strong acidic condition (pH = 1). Moreover, the 3%NO/CN heterojunction also exhibited dramatically enhancement of photocatalytic activity for degradation of other fluoroquinolones antibiotic, such as ciprofloxacin (CIP) and levofloxacin (LEV). The highly enhancing photoactivity was attributed to the formation of a heterojunction between g-C 3 N 4 and Nb 2 O 5 , which could greatly suppresses the photogenerated electron–hole pair’s recombination. The active species trapping and ESR experiments indicated that superoxide radicals and holes are the major active species in which contributing to the photocatalytic process. This work will bring about potential application in treatment of antibiotic pollutant and solar energy conversion.

High visible light utilization and rapid charge separation are of great importance for environmental photocatalysis . Single photocatalyst always suffers from high recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and low redox ability. Elemental doping and heterojunction construction are effective approaches to improve the photocatalytic performance. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel Bi x Fe y VO 4 /g-C 3 N 4 (BFC) binary heterojunction via facile coprecipitation followed by calcination processes. The doping of Fe endows BiVO 4 with narrower bandgap, which boosts its light response and redox ability. The construction of heterojunction facilitates charge separation that makes BFC heterojunction displaying much higher photocatalytic activity than those of single semiconductors. The highest Cr(VI) photoreduction rate ( k ) of BFC binary heterojunction is 78 (45) times of BiVO 4 (FeVO 4 ). Additionally, the binary heterojunction can still maintain high photoreduction efficiency (98%) of Cr(VI) even after five cycling tests showing excellent photocatalytic stability. This research provides novel idea for synergistic application of doping and heterojunction in environmental photocatalysis.
