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.

Different from the typical interfacial polymerization for nanofiltration membrane fabrication, we proposed a novel method to prepare charged nanofiltration membrane via rapid immersion thermal annealing process with the ultrafiltration membrane, which was prepared from the amphiphilic copolymer , poly(vinyl chloride) -g- poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PVC -g- PDMA) via non-solvent induced phase separation. The pore structures and chemical properties of the membranes, and annealing conditions including the media where the membrane was annealed, annealing temperature and time, were investigated in detail. It is found that the porous separation layer was collapsed to be a stable, defect-free, and smooth film as the dense separation layer of nanofiltration membrane when it was annealed in n -heptane above its glass transition temperature ( T g ) for only 1 min while the pore size cutoff was tailored from 20 nm to 2 nm. Salt rejections were in the order of MgCl 2 > NaCl > MgSO 4 > Na 2 SO 4 at neutral condition due to Donnan repulsion, indicating a typical positively charged nanofiltration membrane. Overall, this rapid immersion thermal annealing process provides a facile and effective strategy to tailor ultrafiltration membrane toward nanofiltration applications for amphiphilic copolymer based membranes.

MoS 2 /S-doped porous g-C 3 N 4 (MoS 2 /SPGCN) hybrids were fabricated via a facile calcination and ultrasound assembly method. Structural characterization indicated MoS 2 nanosheets were successfully loaded on SPGCN isotype heterojunction hybrids. The MoS 2 /SPGCN photocatalysts showed more visible light absorption, larger specific surface area, and faster electron-hole separation. MoS 2 /SPGCN significantly accelerated Rhodamine B photodegradation under visible light irradiation, which was mainly because the enriched active sites, broadened visible light absorption, and newly-formed heterojunction between MoS 2 nanosheets and SPGCN together suppressed the recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs. MoS 2 /SPGCN also showed excellent recyclability and chemical stability. Thus, this work presents a good strategy of designing efficient photocatalysts by substituting the single catalyst base with metal-free isotype heterojunction hybrids.

Carbon fiber composite laminates were interfacially reinforced through in-situ synthesis of g-C 3 N 4 on the carbon fibers. The introduced g-C 3 N 4 greatly improved the roughness, functional groups and wettability on the carbon fiber surface and markedly enhanced the interfacial properties of composite laminates. The surface free energy of carbon fibers was increased by 67.81%. Interlaminar shear strength and interfacial shear strength of composite laminates were increased from 51.84 to 72.09 MPa and 44.62–73.41 MPa, respectively. The significantly enhanced interfacial properties enabled the mechanical performance of composite laminates to reach a superior state. Tensile strength and bending strength were increased by 19.54 and 10.51%, respectively. The total absorbed energy of impact experiment was also enhanced from 1.14 to 1.78 J. Meanwhile, dynamic mechanical properties and hydrothermal aging resistance were also ameliorated significantly. The improved interfacial properties and mechanical properties were ascribed to the increased mechanical interlocking, enhanced chemical bonding and ameliorated wettability created by g-C 3 N 4 .

Sustainable nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) -based composites as advanced functional materials have attracted considerable attention for using in soft wearable electronic devices. In this work, a controllable one-pot method to fabricate NFC/g-C 3 N 4 composite film with different content of graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) via vacuum-induced self-assembly (VISA) process has been presented. The composite film was constructed by electrostatic interaction/hydrogen bonding between NFC and g-C 3 N 4 coupled with vacuum-assisted filtration. The results demonstrated that the obtained NFC/g-C 3 N 4 composite film exhibited better specific capacitance. The high specific capacitance of 51 F g −1 at 1 mA cm −2 and 46 F g −1 at 1 mA cm −2 are achieved. The study provides a straightforward method of fabricating freestanding film as supercapacitor electrode, which have the potential in soft wearable electronic devices.

Efficient structuring of DNA by small molecules is very crucial in developing DNA-based novel switches with an ideal performance. In this work, we found that inverting only the polarity of the 3′ terminal guanine of the thrombin-binding aptamer (3iTBA) totally eradicates the original TBA G-quadruplex (G4) structure in K+. The unstructured 3iTBA can be further refolded upon specifically interacting with small molecules of natural isoquinoline alkaloids (IAs) due to their fruitful binding patterns with variant nucleic acid structures. We identified that 3iTBA can serve as a topology selector for planar IAs. Nitidine (NIT), owing to the planar aromatic ring and coplanar substituents, is the most efficient to restructure the 3iTBA random coil toward the anti-parallel G4 conformation. However, common metal ions can't realize this structuring. The topology selector competency of 3iTBA toward IAs’ planarity can be visualized using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the chromogenic readout. Our work expands the G4 repertoire by exploring the polarity inversion regulation and provides a new approach to switch nucleic acid structures toward a small molecule structure-sensitive sensor.

Excessive or deficient defects in graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets are detrimental to their photocatalytic activities . In this work, the approach of fluorine-containing solvothermal treatment has been applied to remodel the defects in g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (CNS). The fabrication process has been comprehensively investigated and the samples are characterized by various techniques. The results manifest that the solvothermal treatment declines the amount of defects, while the addition of fluorine stimulates the emergence of nitrogen vacancies for producing new active sites which makes the obtained fluorine modified CNS present excellent photocatalytic activities. The average rate of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation is 2607.4 μmol·h −1 ·g −1 , which is almost 13 and 1.3 times of bulk g-C 3 N 4 (BCN) and CNS, respectively, and the degradation rate of rhodamine B is about 3.4 and 1.9 times, respectively.
