A molecularly imprinted photoelectrochemical sensor was successfully designed for sensitive detection of norfloxacin (NOR) based on poly ( o -phenylenediamine) (PoPD) sensitized g-C 3 N 4 /Zr-MOFs(Fe) composite. Herein g-C 3 N 4 /Zr-MOFs(Fe) heterojunction composite was explored as photoresponsive oxidase mimic and photoactive material for the purpose of enhancing photoelectrochemical performances. In addition, PoPD molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were introduced not only to act as the recognition element for selective performance, but also to possess photosensitive effect, which enhanced the photocurrent of sensor. SEM, element mapping method, XRD, UV–Vis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed for the characterization of the structural, chemical composition, optical and electrical properties of g-C 3 N 4 /Zr-MOFs(Fe) composite. Thanks to the photoresponsive oxidase mimic property and the selectivity of MIPs, the as-prepared sensor presented a good linear range of from 1.0 × 10 −8 mol/L to 2.0 × 10 −6 mol/L with NOR and a limit of detection of 5.7 × 10 −9 mol/L. Moreover, the sensor platform has been proved to have excellent selectivity and real sample application.

Propranolol , a widely used β-adrenergic receptor antagonist drug with potential toxic effects to organisms and human beings, was not completely removed from environment through traditional wastewater treatments . It is necessary to sensitively and selectively monitor the trace content propranolol in various samples. In this work, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor based on Au nanoparticles (NPs) modified g-C 3 N 4 /BiPO 4 heterojunction was successfully fabricated for detecting (S)-propranolol (S-Pro), an important racemic enantiomer of propranolol. Herein, g-C 3 N 4 was employed as visible light-active semiconductor. The photocatalytic activity of g-C 3 N 4 was enhanced via forming heterojunction with BiPO 4 to facilitate the separation and migration of photogenerated carriers . In addition, Au NPs with perfect conductivity and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect are not only beneficial to the electron transfer and visible light harvest of g-C 3 N 4 /BiPO 4 heterojunction, but also the crucial factor on assembling S-Pro-binding DNA aptamer via Au-S bonding. At the same time, as a π-π conjugated material, g-C 3 N 4 with large surface area also provides an excellent platform for loading Au NPs. Under the visible light illumination, the PEC aptasensor displayed high PEC performance. On such a sensor, specific captured S-Pro by the aptamer was quickly oxidized by the photogenerated holes to inhibit the recombination of the photogenerated carriers, enhanced the PEC response, and realized the detection of S-Pro. Under optimal conditions, the designed PEC aptasensor exhibited a wide linear range of 10 nM to 1000 nM with a low detection limit (defined as S/N = 3) of 2.55 nM. Moreover, the proposed sensor displayed high selectivity , good reproducibility, and general long-term stability. And the S-Pro in real sample was accurately detected using this proposed sensor.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets have attracted widespread interest in the construction of advanced separation membranes. However, dense stacking and a single functionality have limited the membrane development. Here, an advanced two-/three-dimensional (2D/3D) g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 @MnO 2 membrane is constructed by intercalating 3D TiO 2 @MnO 2 nanostructures into g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The 3D flower-like nanostructures broaden the transport channels of the composite membrane. The membrane can effectively separate five oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, with a maximum flux of 3265.67 ± 15.01 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 and a maximum efficiency of 99.69% ± 0.45% for toluene-in-water emulsion (T/W). Meanwhile, the TiO 2 @MnO 2 acts as an excellent electron acceptor and provides positive spatial separation of electrons–holes (e − –h + ). The formation of 2D/3D heterojunctions allows the material with wider light absorption and smaller bandgap (2.10 eV). These photoelectric properties give the membrane good degradation of three different pollutants, with about 100% degradation for methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG). The photocatalytic antibacterial efficiency of the membrane is also about 100%. After cyclic experiment, the membrane maintains its original separation and photocatalytic capabilities. The remarkable multifunctional and self-cleaning properties of the g-C 3 N 4 based membrane represent its potential value for complex wastewater treatment.

In this study, a novel Fe3O4/Ag3PO4/g-C3N4magnetic composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized, tailored specifically for the visible light-driven photocatalytic degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics, more precisely, sulfamethazine (SMZ). To analyze the fabricated samples, characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis) were systematically employed. The composite showcased efficient visible-light absorption and charge separation, with its peak photocatalytic performance recorded at a solution pH value of 6.0. Significantly, the Fe3O4/Ag3PO4/g-C3N4magnetic composite photocatalyst displayed excellent stability and recyclability, consistently maintaining a high degradation efficiency of over 97% even after five consecutive cycles. Further experimentation with radical scavengers confirmed a significant decrease in photocatalytic activity, establishing that superoxide radicals (•O2−) and photo-generated holes (h+) are the primary active species during the degradation of SMZ. Overall, it provides a crucial understanding regarding the photocatalytic decomposition of sulfonamide antibiotics using magnetic composite photocatalysts. It also emphasizes the promising potential of the Fe3O4/Ag3PO4/g-C3N4composite for tangible applications in environmental remediation.Keywords:visible light;photocatalysis;Fe3O4/Ag3PO4/g-C3N4;sulfonamide

S-scheme heterostructure photocatalysts can achieve highly efficient solar energy utilization. Here, single-atom Ni species were deposited onto TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 (TCN) composite photocatalyst with an S-scheme heterojunction for highly efficient photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen. Under solar irradiation, it realized the hydrogen production activity of 134 µmol g –1 h –1 , about 5 times higher than the TCN without atomic Ni. In-situ Kelvin probe force microscopy characterization and the density functional calculation certify that by forming the S-scheme heterojunction, the photo-excited electrons from the TiO 2 combine with the photogenerated holes at the coupled g-C 3 N 4 driven by a built-in electric field. More importantly, the single-atom Ni species stabilized the photogenerated electrons from the g-C 3 N 4 could effectively enhance the charge separation between the holes on the valence band of TiO 2 and electrons at the conduction band of g-C 3 N 4 . Meanwhile, the Ni atoms act as the surface catalytic centers for the water reduction reaction, which greatly improves the reactivity of the photocatalyst. The present work provides a new approach for developing noble metal-free heterojunctions for high-efficiency photocatalysis.

The massive use of acetaminophen (APAP) poses a potential crisis for humans and the environment. In this paper, the degradation of APAP in aqueous solution was carried out using photocatalytic synergistic persulfate oxidation. To enhance the photocatalytic activity of g-C 3 N 4 and thus activate the persulfate (K 2 S 2 O 8 , PS) more effectively, the heterojunction photocatalyst TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 (TCN) was prepared by a hydrothermal method. The TCN-PS catalytic system showed a high efficiency for APAP degradation. When the amount of TCN and PS added was 0.6 g/L, the degradation rate of APAP at 10 mg/L was 78.3% after 60 min of illumination. Moreover, the TCN-PS catalytic system was effective in removing organic pollutants in acidic, neutral, and weakly alkaline environments. The radical quenching experiment results indicate that both sulfate radicals (SO 4 − •) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are involved in the degradation reaction. After five cycles, the TCN-PS catalytic system still has stable catalytic activity.

Fluorene, as one of the important organic compounds widely used in the field of medicine and photoelectric materials, could damage human health even if it is extremely low in the environment. The development of ultrasensitive and easy-recyclable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of trace fluorene is highly desired. In this work, a nanocomposite of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and porous g-C3N4 is synthesized by a facile method. The advantageous features of the as-prepared nanocomposite include a high SERS sensitivity due to the plasmonic effect of the Ag NPs, excellent recyclability due to the self-cleaning ability originating from the photocatalytic degradation of porous g-C3N4 under visible light irradiation, and good adsorption due to the large specific surface area of porous g-C3N4. The experimental results show that an ultralow detection limit of 1.35 × 10–13 M for R6G can be achieved. Especially, the nanocomposite exhibits excellent performance for the detection of fluorene with the detection limit of 3.11 × 10–11 M and multidetection of at least 13 cycles. The present research provides a nanocomposite with excellent synergistic activity of plasmonic enhancement and photocatalytic degradation for the recyclable SERS detection of trace fluorene.

The conversion of CO 2 into syngas , a mixture of CO and H 2 , via photocatalytic reduction , is a promising approach towards achieving a sustainable carbon economy. However, the evolution of highly adjustable syngas, particularly without the use of sacrifice reagents or additional cocatalysts, remains a significant challenge. In this study, a step-scheme (S-scheme) 0D ZnGa 2 O 4 nanodots (∼7 nm) rooted g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (denoted as ZnGa 2 O 4 /C 3 N 4 ) heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized vis a facial in-situ growth strategy for efficient CO 2 -to-syngas conversion. Both experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated that the polymeric nature of g-C 3 N 4 and highly distributed ZnGa 2 O 4 nanodots synergistically contribute to a strong interaction between metal oxide and C 3 N 4 support. Furthermore, the desirable S-scheme heterojunction in ZnGa 2 O 4 /C 3 N 4 efficiently promotes charge separation, enabling strong photoredox ability. As a result, the S-scheme ZnGa 2 O 4 /C 3 N 4 exhibited remarkable activity and selectivity in photochemical conversion of CO 2 into syngas, with a syngas production rate of up to 103.3 μ mol g −1 h −1 , even in the absence of sacrificial agents and cocatalyst. Impressively, the CO/H 2 ratio of syngas can be tunable within a wide range from 1:4 to 2:1. This work exemplifies the effectiveness of a meticulously designed S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst for CO 2 -to-syngas conversion with adjustable composition , thus paving the way for new possibilities in sustainable energy conversion and utilization.

Nitrite pollution poses a serious threat to human health and the environment. In this study, a reliable and selective electrochemical (EC) sensor was developed for the quantitative determination of nitrite by combining flower-like three-dimensional (3D) MoS 2 microspheres with two-dimensional (2D) C 3 N 4 nanosheets. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of MoS 2 and C 3 N 4 , the 3D MoS 2 /2D C 3 N 4 nanocomposite displayed numerous active sites, a 3D mesoporous structure, high conductivity and excellent catalytic activity. The 3D MoS 2 /2D C 3 N 4 -modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) exhibited a superior electrocatalytic activity toward nitrite oxidation, with a wider linear detection range (0.1–1100 μM), a lower detection limit (LOD) (0.065 μM, S/N = 3), outstanding stability, remarkable reproducibility and strong selectivity. Furthermore, the nitrite EC sensor was successfully applied to detect actual food and environmental samples involving sausage, pickled vegetables, river water and tap water, thus demonstrating the potential of the prepared 3D MoS 2 /2D C 3 N 4 /GCE for food analysis and environmental monitoring.

Background Environmental pollution demands the fabrication of suitable nano-photocatalyst that works under visible-light irradiation. The effective interfacial engineering is required for better separation of charges. Semiconductor heterostructure promotes the practical separation of electron-hole pairs and enhances the carrier separation efficiency, which has broad application prospects in photocatalytic degradation of Antibiotics. However, it remains a significant challenge to construct high-quality directly heterostructure effectively. Methods In this work, a hierarchical ternary heterojunction (Li-C 3 N 4 /ZnO/BiOI) was facilely synthesized by employing an in-situ hydrothermal strategy with different ratios using Li-C 3 N 4 as an anchor, in which the interaction at heterointerfaces was enhanced to improve the photocatalytic performance. Significant findings The photocatalytic degradation experiment was carried out with Tetracycline (TC), and the effect of the molar ratio of Li-C 3 N 4 /ZnO to BiOI on the photocatalytic degradation performance was quantitatively investigated. Benefiting from the unique electronic structure of heterostructure, the results show that a degradation rate of 92.62% was achieved for 10 mg/L TC solution within 20 min. Moreover, Li-C 3 N 4 /ZnO/BiOI-5 offered high photocatalytic activity due to the type II and Z transport, resulting in a small forbidden band gap. The charge transport pathway improves the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in Li-C 3 N 4 /ZnO/BiOI. This study provides a promising avenue for rational design and application of ternary composites.

Photocatalytic ozonation (PCO) was a novel water treatment method, but the low photo-generated electron ( e - ) utilization and ambiguous ROS formation mechanism restrained its performance. Herein, C vacancy and F co-decorated g-C 3 N 4 (FCN_Cv) was designed to accelerate the PCO performance with sodium p -perfluorinated nonoxybenzenesulfonate (OBS) acting as model pollutant. Comparative characterizations revealed that FCN_Cv remained the inherent structure of g-C 3 N 4 (BCN), and had an enhanced conduction band potential, narrower band gap and longer e - lifetime. FCN_Cv exhibited the greater activity over BCN, with 99.3 % OBS removal in 30 min but only 78.3 % for BCN during PCO process. •OH was the main ROS for degrading OBS. The greater •OH yield was obtained by FCN_Cv PCO process because of the increase of e - utilization. On one hand, the two electrons reduction of O 2 into H 2 O 2 on FCN_Cv was accelerated, which triggered the peroxone reaction between photogenerated-H 2 O 2 and O 3 . On the other hand, the direct one electron reduction of O 3 by e - also accounted for •OH generation. 17 kinds of intermediates were detected and the OBS degradation routes were inferred, which was involved with hydroxylation, C-O cleavage and aromatic ring opening reactions. Overall, this study demonstrated the feasibility of decorating F element and C vacancy on g-C 3 N 4 in enhancing e - utilization and •OH generation during PCO process as well as deepened the understanding of fate of OBS in PCO process.

The enhanced photocatalytic properties of Z-Scheme Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY heterojunction materials were successfully prepared by the ultrasonic-assisted coprecipitation method. The Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY heterojunction exhibited remarkable photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation, and the degradation rate of methyl orange (MO) was about 90.6% in 180 min. This impressive efficiency is mainly due to the Z-Scheme charge transfer mechanism in Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY, resulting in the efficient separation of charge carriers and an increase in the REDOX potential of photogenerated electrons and holes. C3N4 was modified with a π-deficient conjugated pyridine ring, which caused the light absorption redshift, promoted the formation of oxidizing •O2–, and improved the photocatalytic activity. At the same time, a well-aligned heterojunction is formed at the interface between C3N4-DPY and BiOCl, facilitating the seamless transfer of light-induced electrons from the LUMO of C3N4-DPY to the CB of BiOCl. In addition, the addition of Bi introduces a unique band gap reduction effect, resulting in a change in the density of the band states, which further promotes charge transfer and separation. It is worth noting that the introduction of metallic bismuth (Bi) brings about a unique band gap reduction effect, resulting in a change in the density of states within the band, which ultimately promotes charge transfer and separation. The Z-scheme charge migration inside Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY further promotes the efficient separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, greatly improving the overall efficiency of the material. The Z-structured photocatalyst developed in this study has great application potential in various fields of photocatalysis.
