Herein, self-assembly of hierarchical multihole g-C 3 N 4 hexagon with excellent specific surface area (129 m 2 /g) and nitrogen vacancies were accomplished via a one-step polymerization of hydrothermal-treated dicyandiamide and ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA). The special chelate structure of EDTA efficiently enlarged a broad visible light response range, and the concentrations of EDTA promoted the self-assembly formation of different surface morphology . The photocatalytic H 2 production rate under visible light for the optimal g-C 3 N 4 hexagon (CN-20E) reaches 5839 μmol·g − 1 ·h − 1 and its apparent quantum efficiency reaches up to 7.3% at 420 nm, which has a 102 times higher for H 2 production rate than that of bulk g-C 3 N 4 (57 μmol·g − 1 ·h − 1 ). Special structure of the multihole hexagon endows them with remarkably visible light absorption, fast separation of photo-induced charge carriers, large surface areas as well as the exposure of potential photocatalytic active sites, thereby dramatically improved the H 2 production property. Moreover, the forming process for the specific structure and the reaction mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic activity were proposed according to the experimental results and theoretical calculations. This work exhibits a new avenue to rehandle graphitic carbon nitride precursor to build a grafted structure for developing highly efficient g-C 3 N 4 in the practical photocatalytic application.

Defect–rich zinc sulfide (ZnS, ZS) was successfully synthesized by the slow release of S source from glutathione (GSH) to coordinate with Zn 2+ at high temperature. Based on this, a novel ZnS/g–C 3 N 4 (ZSCN) heterojunction with high catalytic activity was fabricated through facile in–situ hydrothermal method . The removal rates of Rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB) and Cr 6+ for ZSCN–0.05 with the highest catalytic activity under full–spectrum illumination were 13.0, 53.2, 2.0 and 11.6 times of g–C 3 N 4 (CN), and 3.6, 14.8, 1.2 and 3.9 times of ZS, respectively. While, under visible–light illumination, ZSCN–0.075 exhibited the best photodegradation performance for RhB, and the degradation rate was 5.2 and 19.3 times to CN and ZS, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZSCN heterojunction could be attributed to the synergistic effect between CN and ZS: ZS with defect-rich enhanced the absorption intensity of ZSCN in the ultraviolet, and CN broaden the spectral response range of ZSCN. Moreover photoluminescence spectrum confirmed that the formation of ZSCN heterojunction could effectively inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, and accelerate the electron transfer at its interface.

construction of the Schottky-junction is considered to be a valid route to boost the spatial charge separation and transfer of the photocatalytic system. Herein, two-dimensional (2D) O-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were prepared by an annealing route, and then a 2D/2D Ti 3 C 2 MXene/O-doped g-C 3 N 4 Schottky-junction was fabricated using an in-situ electrostatic assembly of negatively charged Ti 3 C 2 MXene and positively charged O-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The as-prepared Ti 3 C 2 MXene/O-doped g-C 3 N 4 Schottky-junction exhibited almost two times enhanced hydrogen evolution (25124 μmol/g/h) in comparison to pristine O-doped g-C 3 N 4 (13745 μmol/g/h) and Ti 3 C 2 MXene/pristine C 3 N 4 (15573 μmol/g/h). Based on fully characterizations and theory calculation, the enhanced photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the synergy effect of intimate 2D/2D interfacial contact and the construction of Schottky-junction, which result in the short charge transport distance from HCN to Ti 3 C 2 MXene and efficient separation of the photo-generated charge. This study will provide new insight into developing 2D/2D Schottky-junction photocatalysts for the solution of the energy crisis.

A novel Ag nanoparticles (NPs) decorated WO 3 nanoplates/g-C 3 N 4 (CN) nanosheets 2D/2D heterostructure was successfully synthesized by a solvent evaporation and in situ calcination method. The as-prepared WO 3 /Ag/CN ternary composite exhibited remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity towards rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline (TC) degradation compared with WO 3 , CN, Ag/WO 3 , Ag/CN and WO 3 /CN under visible light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers, the strong redox ability and enhancement of visible-light absorption derived from the construction of Z-scheme 2D/2D heterostructure. Ag NPs not only possess the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect, but also act as an electron mediator in Z-scheme heterostructure. The UV–vis absorption spectra analysis indicated that the loading of Ag NPs can enhance the visible-light adsorption. And the decreased photoluminescence and the increased photocurrent demonstrated the high separation rate of photoinduced charge carriers owing to the successful heterojunction construction. Furthermore, the possible degradation pathways of RhB and TC were proposed according to HPLC-MS analysis. The results of radical trapping experiments indicated that O 2 − and OH were the primary active species during the photocatalytic degradation process.

In this study, we report a facile and green strategy to produce graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-C 3 N 4 QDs)/BiVO 4 Z-scheme nanoheterostructure, which is composed by g-C 3 N 4 QDs assembled on the surface of mesh-like BiVO 4 crystals. As compared with pure BiVO 4 , the g-C 3 N 4 QDs/BiVO 4 composite showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance towards degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and Tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation, which is attributed to the increased surface area, (increased number of photocatalytically active sites) and the improved efficiency of separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs through an efficient charge transfer Z-scheme system. The stability and durability of photocatalyst are also discussed in detail. Moreover, the possible enhanced photocatalytic mechanism was put forwarded and explained by the electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trap technique and active species trapping experiments. The successful implementation of this work will have guiding significance for the preparation of photocatalysts, and provide theoretical basis and experimental guidance for future development of Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism of the hybrid photocatalysts with better performance.

Ascorbic acid (AA) electrochemical sensor upon modification with porous g-C3N4(PCN)/Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) composite was constructed by a facile co-deposited method. The obtained PCN bearing more oxygen-containing functional groups demonstrates excellent dispersion. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy were performed to evaluate the structure and morphology of PCN/PEDOT composite. Detailed electrochemical behaviors of AA were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under the optimal experimental conditions, the oxidation peak current was linear with the concentration of AA in a wide range from 10 μM to 1500 μM. The combination of PCN and PEDOT brings out large electro-active area and facilitates the electron-transfer greatly, which makes PCN/PEDOT composite appear to be an excellent choice as modified material for the construction of AA sensor.

A novel fluorescence probe was built by using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets . Fluorescence of the g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet solution was effectively quenched by Fe 3+ via photoinduced electron transfer (PET). Moreover, the linear detection range for Fe 3+ was 0–43.33 nM with a limit of detection of 4 nM. Fluorescence recovery of g-C 3 N 4 was observed upon addition of ascorbic acid (AA) to the g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet–Fe 3+ system, and the paramagnetic Fe 3+ was reduced to diamagnetic Fe 2+ by blocking PET. An “on–off–on” fluorescence response was observed through the oxidation–reduction between Fe 3+ and AA. Furthermore, a wide linear detection range for AA was found in 0–26.67 nM. Thus, this system can play a dual role in the selective and sensitive detection of Fe 3+ and AA in aqueous media via “on–off–on” fluorescence response.

A two-step photocatalytic water splitting system, termed a “Z-scheme system”, was achieved using Zn-doped g-C 3 N 4 for H 2 evolution and BiVO 4 for O 2 evolution with Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ as a shuttle redox mediator. H 2 and O 2 were evaluated simultaneously when the doping amount of zinc was 10%. Moreover, Zn-doped (10%) g-C 3 N 4 synthesized by an impregnation method showed superior active ability to form the Z-scheme with BiVO 4 than by in-situ synthesis. X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the samples. It was determined that more Zn–N bonds could be formed on the surface of g-C 3 N 4 by impregnation, which could facilitate charge transfer.

Sn-WO 3 /g-C 3 N 4 composites were synthesized by calcination method. The materials were characterized with different techniques and photocatalytic activities examined by the degradation of anionic methyl orange (MO) and cationic Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light. 8% Sn-WO 3 /g-C 3 N 4 showed superior degradation efficiency with 87% MO and 99% RhB dye removal within 120 and 50 min of irradiation time, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis reveals molecular oxygen adsorption on the surface of the as-prepared composite material. The introduction of tin in Sn-WO 3 solid solution with a high atomic Sn:W ratio of 1:2 and the construction of interfacial hetrojunction with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) plays a vital role to enhance the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared composites by activating oxygen to react with dye molecules.

Herein, we report a ratiometric photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor coupled with secondary antibodies–Co3O4 nanoparticle conjugates (Ab2–Co3O4 NPs) for signal amplification. The Ab1-g-C3N4@TiO2 NTs and BSA-g-C3N4@TiO2 NTs act as the sensing and reference photoelectrodes, where Ab1, BSA and TiO2 NTs are the capture antibodies, bovine serum albumin and TiO2 nanotube arrays, respectively. In the presence of target Ag, the sensing PEC photocurrent decreases due to the steric hindrance of Ab1 molecules, which increases the inner resistance of the photoelectrode. The signal-off response is enhanced further using Ab2–Co3O4 NP conjugates due to their steric hindrance effect and the consumption of electron donors by the Co3O4 NPs. Furthermore, the performance of the ratiometric PEC platform is tested using alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as a model antigen. Under the optimal conditions, the concentration of AFP is detected in the range of 0.4 pg mL−1 to 40 ng mL−1 with a detection limit of 0.2 pg mL−1. This ratiometric strategy is beneficial to improve the reliability and anti-interference ability of PEC immunosensors.

It is difficult to achieve concurrent removal of nitrate (NO 3 − -N) and ammonia (NH 4 + -N) from water thoroughly by photocatalysis due to their opposite charges and inappropriate potentials of photo-induced carriers. Herein, an innovative magnetic field enhanced 3D/2D Mn 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 photocatalytic system was developed for denitrification from NO 3 − -N and NH 4 + -N contaminated water under visible light. High removal efficiency of 94.5% and 97.4% for NO 3 − -N and NH 4 + -N were achieved after imposing magnetic field. Impressively, the extra magnetic field integrated the advantages of providing driving force for NO 3 − -N and NH 4 + -N approaching catalyst surface as well as facilitating separation of photo-induced charge carriers in newly-formed II type heterojunction by generating Lorentz force . Interestingly, the electrons on conduction band of g-C 3 N 4 could reduce NO 3 − -N to NO 2 − -N, N 2 and NH 4 + -N. Subsequently, the produced NO 2 − -N could be reduced to N 2 and NH 4 + -N. Meanwhile, the holes on valence band of Mn 2 O 3 could convert NH 4 + -N to N 2 selectively, which made the dominate contribution to high N 2 recovery (93.2%) during photocatalysis. Moreover, the reusable Mn 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 achieved efficient denitrification under magnetic assisted photocatalysis in real water backgrounds such as tap water and river water. This study provided an efficient and promising strategy for nitrogen remediation from water.

Ceria dioxide supported on graphitic carbon nitride (CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 ) composites were facilely synthesized to be application for photocatalytic hydrogen (H 2 ) generation in this present work. The physical and chemical properties of CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 nanocomposites were determined via a series of characterizations. The CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composites prepared by facile thermal annealing and rotation-evaporation method exhibit excellent photocatalytic H 2 evolution with visible-light illumination. The best hydrogen generation rate of CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composite with 1.5 wt% Pt is 0.83 mmol h −1 g −1 , which is almost same as that of composite with 3 wt% Pt prepared by simple physical mixing method. The significantly developed photocatalytic activity of CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composite is majorly ascribed to the stronger interfacial effects with the more visible-light absorbance and faster electron transfer . This work reveals that construction of the CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composite with high disperse and close knit by the facile thermal annealing and rotation-evaporation method could be an effective method to achieve excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance.
