An interesting rugby-ball-like Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @C 3 N 4 photocatalyst with well- controlled structures as high-efficient visible-light photocatalysts was synthesized via two steps of solvothermal-grinding calcination method. The composition, structure, morphology, and optical absorption properties of as-synthesized Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @C 3 N 4 samples were intensively characterized by XRD, N 2 physical adsorption, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, UV–vis DRS, XPS, PL and photoelectrochemical measurements, respectively. The formation of C 3 N 4 shell obviously increased the surface area and induced the rich pore structures. The intimate interface between Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 and C 3 N 4 phase obviously enhanced the transport rate of photogenerated carriers and restrained the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. The optimal Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @C 3 N 4 (35 wt%) exhibited the highest adsorption and photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methylene blue (MB), which was 150 and 7.5 times as high as C 3 N 4 , respectively. Moreover, the robust Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @C 3 N 4 nanoheterojunctions fabricated by this grinding-calcination route have high stability in recycling reactions.

α-Fe 2 O 3 /porous g-C 3 N 4 (α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN) photocatalysts were fabricated via a facile and green method. Structural characterization indicated α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were successfully loaded onto PCN. The α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN nanocomposites were proven durable with significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for Rhodamine B photodegradation than the single components under visible light irradiation. The improved photoactivity was mainly attributed to the broadened visible light absorption, enriched active sites, and formation of α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN heterojunction that addressed the recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes. The α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN hybrids also showed high recyclability and chemical stability.

An oxidized, porous graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNs) was successfully obtained via a bottom-up approach. The inner filter effect (IFE) of Fe (III) tetrakis (1-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphyrin pentachlorideporphyrin pentachloride (FeTMPyP) on the CNNs results in fluorescence quenching of the CNNs due to the overlap of FeTMPyP absorbance band and CNNs emission band. It is interesting that the quenched fluorescence could be “turned on” in response to the participation of H 2 O 2 , which caused by decomposition of FeMPyP. In this study, for the first time, a porous fluorescence probe based on CNNs and FeTMPyP was designed and an excellent H 2 O 2 detection performance with a large detection range of 0.1 ~ 100 μM and a detection limit of 0.07 μM was achieved. Furthermore, the proposed method was successfully used for H 2 O 2 detection in RAW 264.7 cells.

To further promote the visible-light photocatalytic efficiency of Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 , g-C 3 N 4 /Eu(III) doped Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 heterojunction composites (CN/Eu-BCO) were successfully synthesized via modified solution combustion and immersion-calcination method. The effects of Eu(III) dopants and g-C 3 N 4 coupling on the micro-structures and the photocatalytic efficiency of Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 towards Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation were investigated in detail. The results displayed that Eu(III) doping and coupling with g-C 3 N 4 can largely promote the photocatalytic efficiency of Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 . The photodegradation rate of RhB over 5CN/0.01Eu-BCO can reach to be 91.9% in 40 min, which was 8.46 folds of Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 , 1.91 folds of 0.01Eu-BCO, and 1.72 folds of 5CN/BCO. The main radical species being responsible for RhB degradation were ● O 2 − and ● OH. Furthermore, 5CN/0.01Eu-BCO composite photocatalyst exhibited good reusability and stability.

Introducing plasmonic metals into semiconductor materials has been proven to be an attractive strategy for enhancing photocatalytic activity in the visible region. In this work, a novel and efficient Ag/Ag 2 WO 4 /g-C 3 N 4 (AACN) ternary plasmonic photocatalyst was successfully synthesized using a facile one-step in situ hydrothermal method. The composition, structure, morphology and optical absorption properties of AACN were investigated using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, respectively. Photocatalytic performance of AACN was evaluated via rhodamine B and tetracycline degradation. The results indicated that AACN had excellent photocatalytic performance for rhodamine B degradation with a rate constant of 0.0125 min −1 , which was higher than those of Ag 2 WO 4 and Ag/Ag 2 WO 4 . Characterization and photocatalytic tests showed that the strong coupling effect between the Ag/Ag 2 WO 4 nanoparticles and the exfoliated ultrathin g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets was superior for visible-light responsivity and reduced the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes. A proposed mechanism is also discussed according to the band energy structure and the experimental results.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is an emergent metal-free photocatalyst because of its band position, natural abundance, and facile preparation. Synergetic intensification of charge generation and charge transfer of g-C3N4 to increase solar-to-chemical efficiency remains a hot yet challenging issue. Herein, a nanoshell with two moieties of α-Fe2O3 and carbon (C) is in situ formed on the surface of a g-C3N4 core through calcination of Fe3+/polyphenol-coated melamine, thus acquiring g-C3N4@α-Fe2O3/C core@shell photocatalysts. The α-Fe2O3 moiety acts as an additional photosensitizer, offering more photogenerated electrons, whereas the C moiety bridges a “highway” to facilitate the electron transfer either from α-Fe2O3 moiety to g-C3N4 or from g-C3N4 to C moiety. By tuning the proportion of these two moieties in the nanoshell, a photocurrent density of 3.26 times higher than pristine g-C3N4 is obtained. When utilized for photocatalytic regeneration of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH, a dominant cofactor in biohydrogenation reaction), g-C3N4@α-Fe2O3/C exhibits an equilibrium NADH yield of 76.3% with an initial reaction rate (r) of 7.7 mmol h–1 g–1, among the highest r for photocatalytic NADH regeneration ever reported. Manipulating the coupling between charge generation and charge transfer may offer a facile, generic strategy to improve the catalytic efficiency of a broad range of photocatalysts other than g-C3N4.

A TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composite photocatalytic film was prepared by in situ synthesis method and its photocatalytic capability under weak-visible-light condition was studied. The co-precursor with different ratio of melamine and TiO 2 sol-gel precursor were treated using ultrasonic mixing, physical deposition, and co-sintering method to form the smooth, white-yellow, and compact TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composite films. The prepared TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 materials were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, BET, VBXPS, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra. The results of composite showed that TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 have close interfacial connections which are favorable to charge transfer between these two semiconductors with suitable band structure, g-C 3 N 4 retard the anatase-to-rutile phase transition of TiO 2 significantly, the specific surface area were increased with g-C 3 N 4 ratio raised. Under weak-light irradiation, composite films photocatalytic experiments exhibited RhB removal efficiency approaching 90% after three recycles. Powders suspension degradation experiments revealed the removal efficiency of TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 (90.8%) was higher than pure TiO 2 (52.1%) and slightly lower than pure g-C 3 N 4 (96.6%). By control experiment, the enhanced photocatalysis is ascribed to the combination of TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 , which not only produced thin films with greater stability but also formed heterojunctions that can be favorable to charge transfer between these two semiconductors with suitable band structure. This study presents the potential application of photocatalytic film in the wastewater treatment under weak-light situation.

Waste water treatment with adsorbents has become one of the most effective methods. In this work, we have reported the preparation of the flower-like Cu 2 MoS 4 /g-C 3 N 4 composites. The Cu 2 MoS 4 nanosheets were arranged in a flower-like structure by a simple one-step hydrothermal synthesis method and attached to g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The as-prepared flower-like Cu 2 MoS 4 /g-C 3 N 4 composites was found to have potential for the adsorption of RhB in aqueous solution. The microstructure of the product was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The effects of the ratio of the composite material, the initial concentration of the dye and the contact time were explored. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of the flower-like Cu 2 MoS 4 /g-C 3 N 4 composites for RhB was reached 420.2 mg/g. Moreover, the adsorption process is consistent with the pseudo second-order kinetic model, the Langmuir isotherms model and the Freundlich isotherms model.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) supported CoOx catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and comprehensively characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, TEM, H2-TPR, and XPS. The catalytic performance tested by catalytic combustion of toluene indicates that 10% CoOx/g-C3N4 catalyst exhibits the highest activity, achieving a toluene conversion of 90% at a temperature of approximately 279 °C, compared with other CoOx catalysts supported on SBA-15, γ-Al2O3 and activated carbon (AC). The specific structure of g-C3N4 made it a N and electron-rich material, which might be the reason for the existence of Co3O4 active phase, high surface Co3+ content and high density of surface oxygen adsorption species, and facile reducibility of Co3+. Moreover, no significant decrease in catalytic efficiency is observed over different temperature stages on the 10% CoOx/g-C3N4 sample, which indicates that the catalyst’s stability is excellent under the conditions required for toluene combustion.

A simple calcination approach was performed to synthesize layered K 3 Ti 5 NbO 14 /g-C 3 N 4 (TNCN) composites, in which g-C 3 N 4 was formed both within the interlayers and on the surface of N-K 3 Ti 5 NbO 14 . The photocatalytic activity of samples was evaluated by the visible-light photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). It was found that TNCN composite with a proper mass ratio of N-K 3 Ti 5 NbO 14 to g-C 3 N 4 exhibited the rapid rate of charge separation and high efficiency of light harvesting due to the synergetic effects of layered heterojunction and N doping, leading to an excellent photocatalytic activity. Especially, the in situ intercalated mono-layered g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets can significantly increase the contact area between K 3 Ti 5 NbO 14 layers and g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets for efficient charge transfer across the interface, showing the greater effect on the enhanced photocatalytic activity. The active species trapping experiments and ESR measurements were carried out to evaluate the contribution of the active species in this photocatalytic degradation process. It was revealed that both superoxide radicals ( · O 2 − ) and holes (h + ) are the main active species, while hydroxyl radicals ( · OH) made a minor contribution to the photocatalytic degradation of RhB.

In this study, the effect of oxyanions on the photodegradation of sulfonamides by graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) was investigated. The results showed that the presence of disilicate (DS) could substantially improve the photodegradation of sulfamethazine (SMZ) in g-C 3 N 4 aqueous suspension. The primary mechanism for the enhancing effect of DS was hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interaction. The hydroxyl groups ( OH) and bridging oxygen (Si O Si) of DS can form H-bonds with the amine groups of g-C 3 N 4 particles and sulfonamides, therefore soluble DS can act as a bridge to enhance the transfer and adsorption of SMZ onto the surface of g-C 3 N 4 particles. The presence of DS did not change the mechanism of photodegradation, but there was an optimal concentration for DS to achieve the strongest enhancing effect. H-bonding effect was also found for other oxyanions derived from weak acids, such as silicate, dihydrogen phosphate and borate ions, because the partial ionization of these oxyanions allowed the existence of hydroxyl groups to form H-bonds. The present study not only deepens our understanding of the interface process of the photodegradation of sulfonamides in g-C 3 N 4 aqueous suspension, but also provides a potential method to enhance the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics in wastewater streams.

Ultrathin (UT) g-C 3 N 4 with a thickness of ∼2 nm was prepared via a facile thermal exfoliation method using bulk g-C 3 N 4 as precursor. The UT-g-C 3 N 4 sample obtained exhibited a large specific surface area of 192.9 m 2 ·g −1 . The UT-g-C 3 N 4 /Ag hybrids were fabricated by a photo-assisted reduction technique. The morphology, microstructure and composition of the UT-g-C 3 N 4 /Ag hybrids were systematically characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), STEM-energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). Based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results, the optimal UT-g-C 3 N 4 /Ag hybrids displayed a faster electron transfer rate in comparison of UT-g-C 3 N 4 and bulk g-C 3 N 4 . Moreover, in the presence of a phosphate buffer solution (pH = 6.0), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) results showed that the UT-g-C 3 N 4 /Ag hybrids coated on glassy carbon electrode (denoted as UT-g-C 3 N 4 /Ag/GCE) exhibited excellent electrochemical properties for l -tyrosine detection. It is observed that the electrochemical response of was linear in the concentration range of 1.00 × 10 −6 to 1.50 × 10 −4 mol L −1 with a limit of detection (S/N = 3) of 1.40 × 10 −7 mol L −1 , superior to the other reported sensors. The developed UT-g-C 3 N 4 /Ag/GCE sensor was employed for l -tyrosine detection in commercial l -tyrosine tablet samples, and the recovery of 97.2–99.3% was observed. This proposed g-C 3 N 4 -based electrochemical sensor provides a rapid and sensitive sensing method for l -tyrosine detection in real samples.
