In this work, a novel Fe/ND-CN composite was synthesized by anchoring iron single atoms onto nitrogen-deficient g-C 3 N 4 (ND-CN) using Fe-ZIF-8 as a precursor via calcination. This material served as a photoelectrocatalytic working electrode for U(VI) reduction under light and applied voltage. Remarkably, it achieved near-complete U(VI) removal (99.2%) at pH 5.0. The elucidated mechanism provides a highly efficient technique and theoretical foundation for low-concentration uranium wastewater treatment.

Undesired photoelectronic dormancy through active species decay is adverse to photoactivity enhancement. An insufficient extrinsic driving force leads to ultrafast deep charge trapping and photoactive species depopulation in carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ). Excitation of shallow trapping in g-C 3 N 4 with long-lived excited states opens up the possibility of pursuing high-efficiency photocatalysis. Herein, a near-field-assisted model is constructed consisting of an In 2 O 3 -cube/g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction associated with ultrafast photodynamic coupling. This In 2 O 3 -cube-induced near-field assistance system provides catalytic “hot areas”, efficiently enhances the lifetimes of excited states and shallow trapping in g-C 3 N 4 and this favors an increased active species density. Optical simulations combined with time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy shows there is a built-in charge transfer and the active species lifetimes are longer in the In 2 O 3 -cube/g-C 3 N 4 hybrid. Besides these properties, the estimated overpotential and interfacial kinetics of the In 2 O 3 -cube/g-C 3 N 4 hybrid co-promotes the liquid phase reaction and also helps in boosting the photocatalytic performance. The photocatalytic results exhibit a tremendous improvement (34-fold) for visible-light-driven hydrogen production. Near-field-assisted long-lived active species and the influences of trap states is a novel finding for enhancing (g-C 3 N 4 )-based photocatalytic performance.

Utilizing diverse material combinations in heterogeneous structures has become an effective approach for regulating interface characteristics and electronic structures. The g-C 3 N 4 /Co 3 O 4 heterostructures were fabricated by uniformly modifying Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles onto discrete clusters of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. Then, they were subsequently employed as positive electrode materials for assembling hybrid supercapacitors. According to the first-principles calculation, Co 3 O 4 and g-C 3 N 4 formed Co-N ionic bonds, establishing interfacial space symmetry-broken heterojunction and direct exchange and superexchange between ions at the interface and sub-interface. This resulted in a high-density spin–orbit hybrid heterogeneous polarization interface, significantly improving the quantum capacitance of heterojunction materials. Experimental results showed that the heterojunction had a specific capacitance of 2662 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 . When the power density was 750 W kg −1 , the energy density reached 128 Wh kg −1 . Even when the power density was 16850 W kg −1 , it could show an energy density of 62.5 Wh kg −1 . The g-C 3 N 4 /Co 3 O 4 heterojunction could realize high energy density charge storage as the cathode material of supercapacitors. The construction of heterogeneous polarization interfaces for high-energy quantum capacitors provides a new and effective method for the energy storage field.

The biggest bottleneck restricting the application of two-dimensional (2D) g-C3N4 material in water lubrication is the large-scale acquisition of g-C3N4 nanosheets with satisfactory water dispersibility. In this work, a gel-like g-C3N4 nanosheet hybrid with g-C3N4 nanosheet cores and organic shells was constructed from the bulk g-C3N4 by three procedures of Hummer’s exfoliation, sulfonation, and acid–base neutralization. The hybrid in water exhibited nice water dispersibility and superior tribological performance. Adding 8 wt % of g-C3N4 nanosheet hybrid made the friction coefficient and wear volume of water reduce by 73.7 and 72.3%, respectively. Moreover, its load-carrying capacity under high load and durability under a long-term test were also impressive. The worn surface analyses reflected that a thick protective lubrication film (>150 nm) was distinctly formed on the surface lubricated by the hybrid aqueous dispersion. This film was actually a tribofilm composed of amorphous tribochemical reaction products (FexOy, FexSy, and Fex(SO4)y) embedded with FexOy and g-C3N4 nanocrystals, which not only remarkably reduced the friction and wear but also effectively restrained the oxidation and corrosion of the friction pair. Given the possibility of large-scale construction and the prominent tribological performance, the g-C3N4 nanosheet hybrid is a promising candidate to be developed as a particularly promising water-based additive.

In this study, S-doped graphitic carbon nitride (S-C3N4) was prepared using the high-temperature polymerization method, and then S-C3N4/AgCdS heterojunction photocatalyst was obtained using the chemical deposition method through loading Ag-doped CdS nanoparticles (AgCdS NPs) on the surface of S-C3N4. Experimental results show that the AgCdS NPs were evenly dispersed on the surface of S-C3N4, indicating that a good heterojunction structure was formed. Compared to S-C3N4, CdS, AgCdS and S-C3N4/CdS, the photocatalytic performance of S-C3N4/AgCdS has been significantly improved, and exhibits excellent photocatalytic degradation performance of Rhodamine B and methyl orange. The doping of Ag in collaboration with the construction of a Z-scheme heterojunction system promoted the effective separation and transport of the photogenerated carriers in S-C3N4/AgCdS, significantly accelerated its photocatalytic reaction process, and thus improved its photocatalytic performance.

Among various advanced oxidation processes, photo-Fenton like catalysis, which couples solar energy with Fenton-like catalysis to generate highly reactive species for wastewater decontamination, has attracted broad interests. However, photo-Fenton catalysts usually suffer from poor pH adaptability, metal leaching and photogenerated charge recombination. Herein, a novel defect-enriched Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 /C 3 N 4 (BTO/CN) heterojunction is prepared via ball milling-thermal treatment method and used as a durable photo-Fenton like catalyst to degrade phenol in water. The BTO/CN heterojunction shows an excellent optical absorption capacity, and a superior e - -h + separation efficiency. With the addition of PMS, a micro-photo-electrolysis reactor can be formed in the BTO/CN, rendering it high photocatalytic activity, excellent tolerance to environmental condition and exceptional stability. The BTO/CN micro-photo-electrolysis reactor exhibits superior performance in phenol removal and excellent tolerance towards salt ions. Non-radical pathway and OH oxidation are demonstrated to contribute to phenol degradation in the BTO/CN heterojunction photo-Fenton-like system. The PMS can simultaneously boost the interfacial charge transmission from BTO to CN forming internal BTO photoanode and CN photocathode, leading to sustainable photocatalytic performance without secondary pollution. This work successfully demonstrates a feasible strategy to develop solar energy assisted Fenton-like catalyst for efficient water decontamination, which holds a great promise towards practical photo-Fenton water decontamination.

In this work, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was fabricated for the selective detection of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF 165 ). g-C 3 N 4 /PDDA/CdSe nanocomposites were used as the ECL substrate. Then, DNA labeled at the 5′ end with amino groups (DNA 1 ) was immobilized on the surface of g-C 3 N 4 /PDDA/CdSe nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by amido linkage. AuNP-labeled target DNA (Au-DNA 2 ) could hybridize with DNA 1 to form a double strand. The ECL of the g-C 3 N 4 /PDDA/CdSe nanocomposite was efficiently quenched due to the resonance energy transfer between CdSe QDs and Au NPs. After VEGF 165 was recognized and bound by Au-DNA 2 , the double helix was disrupted, and the energy transfer was broken. In this case, Au-DNA 2 was released from the electrode surface, and the ECL intensity recovered to a higher level. Under optimal conditions, this ECL biosensor possesses excellent selectivity, accuracy, and stability for VEGF 165 detection in a linear range of 2 pg mL −1 to 2 ng mL −1 with a detection limit of 0.68 pg mL −1 . In addition, this assay has been successfully applied to the determination of VEGF 165 in serum samples.

Construction of alternating donor–acceptor (D–A) units in g-C3N4 is an effective strategy to achieve more effective charge carrier separation towards improved photocatalytic performance. However, the charge carrier kinetics, especially the vague intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) details and structure–performance relationship remain unknown. Herein, a series of D–A structured g-C3N4 photocatalysts with improved performance were synthesized by introducing 2-aminobenzothiazole (ABT) into the g-C3N4 framework. Remarkably, up to 3.83-fold improvement in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution was realized at 0.8 wt% ABT incorporation. It shall be due to the broadened visible light absorption range (λ ≤ 700 nm) and accelerated charge carrier separation which originated from the ultrafast ICT (τ1 = 112.20 fs) between the benzothiazole group and heptazine ring. The boosted performance is highly associated with the purposely introduced D–A structure, which may shed light on designing of analogues with better photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance.

An efficient visible-light-driven Z-scheme g -C 3 N 4 /RGO/Bi 2 WO 6 composite was fabricated by the hydrothermal method. The prepared g -C 3 N 4 /RGO/Bi 2 WO 6 composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen sorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The photocatalytic activity of the g -C 3 N 4 /RGO/Bi 2 WO 6 composite was evaluated by the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) under visible-light irradiation. The photochemical test and scavenging experiment showed the photogenerated electrons (e − ) and holes (h + ) had strong reducing capability and oxidation capability, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the g -C 3 N 4 /RGO/Bi 2 WO 6 composite was higher than that of the pure g -C 3 N 4 , Bi 2 WO 6 , and g -C 3 N 4 /Bi 2 WO 6 during the TCP degradation, which could be due to the efficient visible-light utilization efficiency and the construction of Z-scheme. RGO served as a charge transmission bridge between the g -C 3 N 4 and the Bi 2 WO 6 , and the Z-scheme kept the electrons with high reducing capability in the conduction band (CB) of g -C 3 N 4 and the holes with high oxidation capability in the valence band (VB) of Bi 2 WO 6 . The photogenerated holes of Bi 2 WO 6 were the major active species in the TCP oxidative degradation, and the photogenerated electrons of g -C 3 N 4 were the major active species in the TCP dechlorination.

Herein, a strong heterojunction, consisting of SnO2 nanoparticles grown on layered g-C3N4 nanosheets, was rationally designed and successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. The morphology, chemical structure, optical and electronic properties of the obtained SnO2/g-C3N4 hybrid nanocomposites were characterized. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of the novel photocatalysts was assessed. The results clearly indicate that the SnO2/g-CN-72.12% nanocomposite photocatalysts shows a stable cycle performance and exhibits significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity, which is 89 and 17 times higher than those of pure SnO2 and g-C3N4, respectively. The synergistic effect of the SnO2/g-C3N4 heterojunction can effectively accelerate the separation of photo-generated carriers and enhance the efficiency of interfacial charge transfer, which are proposed to be responsible for the enhancement of the photocatalytic activities. This study provides a low-cost and large-scale synthesis route for the production of visible light responsive photocatalysts that have potential in environmental purification applications.

Acid-treated g-C 3 N 4 -Cu 2 O was prepared by hydrothermal reduction followed by high temperature calcination and acid exfoliation. The structures and properties of as-synthesized samples were characterized using a range of techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Photoluminescence Spectroscopy and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) theory. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring the photodegradation of methyl orange under visible-light irradiation. Based on the results of TEM, XPS, EPR and other techniques, it was verified that a heterojunction was formed. The acid treatment process can increase the specific surface area to form abundant heterojunction interfaces as channels for photo-generated carrier separation, thereby enhancing its light utilization and quantum efficiency. Results indicate that acid-treated g-C 3 N 4 -Cu 2 O possesses a large specific surface area, which provides plentiful activated sites for heterojunctions to form; in addition, it showed a high visible light effect and the minimum charge-transfer resistance. Furthermore, the g-C 3 N 4 -Cu 2 O material exhibits high levels of effectiveness and stability. Electron paramagnetic resonance and a series of radical trapping experiments demonstrate that the holes and •O 2 − could be the main active species in methyl orange photodegradation. This work could provide new insights into the fabrication of composite materials as high-performance photocatalysts, and facilitate their application in addressing environmental protection issues.

A convenient and simple phenol electrochemical sensor was constructed based on the Au/CeO2/ g-C3N4 nanocomposites, which were obtained by loading the gold–cerium oxide (Au/CeO2) nanoparticle on graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4)
through precipitation–reduction methods. The microstructure and morphology of Au/CeO2/g-C3N4 nanocomposite were verified using different techniques such as XRD, TEM, and HRTEM. Voltammetry and amperometry methods were used to study the electrochemical
performance of the constructed phenol electrochemical sensors. The results demonstrated evidently that the combination of Au/CeO2 and g-C3N4 may improve sensing performances of phenol determination. The detection linear range of the sensor was 10–90 μM
under the optimum parameters. The Au/CeO2/g-C3N4 based electrochemical sensor also has low detection limits (2.33 μM) and high sensitivities (0.1080 mA/μM) for phenol detection. In addition, the sensor also had considerably favorable anti-interference
performance. As a consequence, the sensor demonstrated that the electrochemical system provided a promising effective strategy for detection of phenol.
