Heterojunction photocatalysis has been widely studied as a means of efficiently converting solar energy to chemicals. However, the major challenge in developing high-performing heterojunction photocatalytic systems lies in achieving efficient transfer of electrons between the components. Herein, a novel S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was developed by combining BaTi 2 O5 nanorods with g-C 3 N 4 lamellae. The preferential deposition of Pt nanoparticles as cocatalyst via the one-step impregnation-reduction method on g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets with enhanced interfacial contact and strong electronic interaction has been proved essential for the photocatalytic performance. The developed Pti mp /20BaTi 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst delivers the optimal hydrogen production rate of 2587 µmol g −1 h −1 with high stability after cycles. Photoelectrochemical analysis and theoretical calculation suggest that the formation of BaTi 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction results in the staggered band alignment and improved charge carrier dynamics. This work highlights the importance and feasibility of promoting photocatalysis by a new S-scheme heterojunction with viable cocatalysts.

Various of CoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet composites were fabricated through supramolecular self-assembly and copolymerization approaches. This fabrication entailed the incorporation of CoS 2 nanoparticles into ultra-thin layers of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. Demonstrating a significant boost, these composites achieved a 28-fold increase in the photocatalytic H 2 evolution from H 2 O with visible light response, without the aid of noble metal nanocrystalline co-catalysts. The enhanced CoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composite sustained approximately 92.4 % of its initial photocatalytic activity after four repeated uses. The planar structure of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet amplifies its specific surface area, which improves access to catalytic sites and reduces the transport distance for photo-excited electrons and holes. Moreover, the close conjunction of CoS 2 nanoparticles and g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets establishes p-n heterojunctions, which promote swift charge separation and transfer at the material interface. Based on these characteristics, an initial model for the photocatalytic process has been proposed. With its remarkable photocatalytic performance and durability, the developed CoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composite presents substantial potential for solar-driven H 2 production.

Loading with non-metal cocatalysts to regulate interfacial charge transfer and separation has become a prominent focus in current research. In this study, g-C3N4/CNT composites loaded with non-metallic cocatalysts were prepared through in situ pyrolysis using urea and CNTs. Various characterization techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), photoelectrochemical (PEC) analysis, fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy (TRPL), electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (ESR), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, were employed to analyze the sample's microstructure, phase composition, elemental chemical states, and photoelectronic properties. The photocatalytic performance of the g-C3N4/CNT composite in the degradation of actual drilling hydraulic filtrate was evaluated under simulated sunlight irradiation, with the degradation results assessed through COD and chroma measurements. The findings indicate that in g-C3N4/CNT composites loaded with non-metal cocatalysts, the photocatalytic performance improves significantly as the CNT content increases. At a CNT mass fraction of 6.0%, the composite achieves optimal performance, with a COD degradation rate of 0.3742 h−1 and a chroma degradation rate of 81%. These results offer valuable insights into enhancing photocatalytic treatment of waste drilling hydraulic filtrate using g-C3N4-based non-metallic cocatalysts.

Photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have widely been explored but fine-tuning and engineering multiphase photocatalyst components are still challenging. Among catalysts, ZnIn 2 S 4 has shown promise but maximizing the use of ZnIn 2 S 4 -photogenerated carriers and enhancing quantum yield still require further investigation. One way to achieve this is by enhancing the photon utilization and reducing the recombination of shallow carriers in ZnIn 2 S 4 . Accordingly, novel ZnIn 2 S 4 /g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 type-II heterojunction composites with 2D/2D/2D structures (abbreviated ZIS/CN/MS) were synthesized in the present work by simple thermal condensation-solvothermal method. The optimized ZIS/CN/MS exhibited a photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 13.6 mmol g −1 h −1 under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm) irradiation, a value much higher than those of pure-phases ZIS and CN, as well as the binary composite of ZIS/CN. The apparent quantum efficiency of the optimized ZIS/CN/MS at a wavelength of 420 nm reached 27.0 % coupled with excellent cycling stability. The significantly improved photocatalytic performance and the excellent stability can mainly be attributed to the unique 2D/2D/2D arrangement of the ternary components of ZIS, CN, and MS in ZIS/CN/MS photocatalyst, providing a large number of close interfacial contacts between the components for shortened migration distance of photogenerated charges and more pathways for electron separation and transport in type-II heterostructures. Overall, the proposed methodology and ZIS/CN/MS composites with type-II heterojunction and 2D/2D/2D structures have great potential for use in solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion and can be extended to the preparation of other photocatalysts.

While mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) containing two-dimensional (2D) layered materials (such as, GO, g-C 3 N 4 and MXene , etc.) have revealed potential application prospects for gas separation applications, it still faces a serious challenge to enhance the performance of CO 2 separation. Owing to the structural defects of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets produced during the exfoliation process, which has greatly reduced the gas selectivity. Herein, we describe the construction of g-C 3 N 4 -MXene/Pebax MMM composed by MXene modified the structural defects in g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets to surmount the low gas selectivity of g-C 3 N 4 membrane. However, the stacking of nanosheets on each other hinder the gas transport channels. The TiO 2 nanoparticles derived in-situ from MXene semi-oxidation can support an intermediate layer between g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet and MXene nanosheet to expand the gas transport channels. Eventually, a novel g-C 3 N 4 -TiO 2 @MXene/Pebax MMM was obtained that exhibited maximum CO 2 permeability of 1673.69 Barrer in separation of CO 2 /CH 4 , CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 45.13, and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 47.76, exceeding the bond 2008 limit on Robeson. What's more, the MMM within 100 h (1 bar and 298 K) are measured to have outstanding separation performance. Overall, this concept offers a novel strategy to enhance CO 2 separation by MXene modified defects in g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets.

Photocatalytic disinfection, which is a readily reliable method in most climates, holds great promise to significantly reduce the microbial contamination in modern industry. Here we report that vanadate quantum dots-interspersed graphitic carbon nitride (vanadate QDs/g-C 3 N 4 ) can achieve efficient inactivation of Salmonella by harvesting a substantial visible light. Detailed characterization through SEM-EDS, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, and XPS confirmed the formation of the composites. Owing to the efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production between vanadate QDs and g-C 3 N 4 , the bactericidal efficiency of AgVO 3 QDs/g-C 3 N 4 could reach 96.4% toward Salmonella in a concentration of 0.75 mg/mL after 10 min visible-light illumination. More importantly, scavenger experiments of different reactive species proved that the photoinduced electron generated at the oxidation site of AgVO 3 /g-C 3 N 4 play a major role as oxidative species. Fluorescent-based cell live/dead test and membrane potentials were applied to demonstrate the integrity of cell membranes. Furthermore, the SEM technology, PCR and BCA protein assay were employed to verify the bacterial decomposition as well as leakage of bacterial cell contents toward Salmonella . Sterilization experiments of Staphylococcus aureus revealed that our composites have broad spectrum antimicrobial activity for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria under visible light. The results showed that the generation of high ROS could attack the bacterial cells membrane, and ultimately disrupt the cell metabolism through bacterial contents, which provided a feasible method for eliminating the microbial contaminated water.

Visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is a key step towards utilizing solar energy. Here we constructed covalently bonded oxidized graphitic C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 (O-g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 ) heterostructure with high surface area via an in-situ solvothermal synthetic strategy. The edge-anchoring of two-dimensional (2D) TiO 2 on 2D O-g-C 3 N 4 was evidenced by the HAADF-STEM EDS mapping, EELS and XPS analysis. Density functional theory computations suggest strong affinity between TiO 2 and O-g-C 3 N 4 2D structures through N O Ti covalent bonding, which drastically enhances the synergetic effect of the light absorption of O-g-C 3 N 4 and high surface area of TiO 2 . The as-formed heterojunction can remarkably boost the visible-light photocatalytic activity for H 2 evolution by 6.1 times compared to physical mixture of TiO 2 nanosheets (NS) and O-g-C 3 N 4 .

With the development of industry, agriculture, and aquaculture, excessive ammonia nitrogen mainly involving ionic ammonia (NH4+) and molecular ammonia (NH3) has inevitable access to the aquatic environment, posing a severe threat to water safety. Photocatalytic technology shows great advantages for ammonia nitrogen removal, such as its efficiency, reusability, low cost, and environmental friendliness. In this study, CP (g-C3N4/CoP) composite materials, which exhibited high-efficiency ammonia nitrogen removal, were synthesized through a simple self-assembly method. For the optimal CP-10 (10% CoP) samples, the removal rate of ammonia nitrogen reached up to 94.8% within 80 min under visible light illumination. In addition, the nitrogen selectivityS(N2)is about 60% for all oxidative products. The high performance of the CP-10 photocatalysts can be ascribed to the effective separation and transmission of electron–hole pairs caused by their heterogeneous structure. This research has significance for the application of photocatalysis for the remediation of ammonia nitrogen wastewater.

Sensitive detection of antibiotic residues in food is of great significance for food safety monitoring. Herein, a novel nucleic acid amplification sensing platform for protein enzyme-free, label-free, and homogeneous fluorescence detection of kanamycin had been established through combining catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) circuit and double-end G-quadruplex signal amplification. Here, kanamycin initiated the CHA circuit between two assembled probes by specifically binding to aptamer sequence. Each of the two assembled probes encapsulated the G-rich sequence in the stem region, so kanamycin-catalyzed CHA circuit produced the active double-end G-quadruplex assemblies under the action of K+. The double-end G-quadruplex assemblies further were combined with N-methylmesoporphyrin IX to induce a distinctly amplified fluorescence signal. The CHA-based double-end G-quadruplex signal amplification significantly improved the detection sensitivity of kanamycin. The fluorescence signal increment results confirmed that the result of double-end G-quadruplex assemblies was more than twice higher than those of single-end G-quadruplex assemblies. The system exhibited a wide linear range of 1 nM to 500 nM for kanamycin, and the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.27 nM and 0.89 nM respectively. In addition, the sensing system effectively distinguished kanamycin from other antibiotics, exhibiting high selectivity for kanamycin. The method also successfully detected spiked kanamycin in cow milk samples, and the recoveries of spiked kanamycin were in range of 99.00%―100.23% with RSDs in range of 1.71%―2.63%. All results verified the application potential of the system in the field of food detection.

Due to its special electron configuration, large number of electrochemical reactive sites, and a high theoretical specific capacitance, Ni 0.85 Se has great application potential for supercapacitor electrodes. However, the poor charge driving ability and easy aggregation of Ni 0.85 Se hinder the full utilization of its electrochemical reactive site, thus limit its practical application. Here, nano-rod-like highly crystalline graphitic carbon nitride (CCN) was synthesized via molten salt assisted method, and then CCN/Ni 0.85 Se composite nanomaterials were synthesized by hydrothermal induction. Through various characterization and electrochemical tests, nano-rod-like CCN not only improves the poor electrical conductivity and incomplete surface reactive site exposure of bulk g-C 3 N 4 prepared by traditional thermal polymerization, but also improves the charge dynamics and enrich the electrochemical active sites of sheets Ni 0.85 Se, and improves the electrochemical activity of the composite. On the base of results, CCN/Ni 0.85 Se-7 has the best specific capacitance of 1234 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , which is significantly higher than that of pure phase Ni 0.85 Se (841.2 F g −1 ) and CCN (34.4 F g −1 ). The CCN/Ni 0.85 Se-7//AC two-electrode device exhibited a maximum energy density of 29.11 Wh kg −1 , a maximum power density of 8499.86 W kg −1 , and good capacitance retention ability of 81.46 % after 2000 cycles.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in black-odorous water can cause excessive growth of plants and algae, leading to deterioration of water quality. Herein, an S-scheme Au/g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 heterojunction was constructed using a three-step method for DOM degradation in real black-odorous water in the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). 4Au/g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 /PMS exhibited highly efficient photocatalytic performance, and the DOM removal rate could reach 92.9 %, which was 19.1 and 9.9 times higher than that of g-C 3 N 4 /PMS and BiVO 4 /PMS, respectively. The changes of fluorescence components in DOM were detected using synchronous fluorescence spectra and two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy analysis, and the toxicity of catalytically treated black-odorous water was evaluated by growth inhibition of Escherichia coli . A reasonable S-scheme mechanism was suggested by theoretical calculations and photoelectrochemical tests. The S-scheme mechanism and the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and hybrid advanced oxidation process (HAOP) increased the catalytic activity of Au/g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 /PMS.

As a promising member of the carbon nitride family, nitrogen-rich g-C3N5has attracted significant attention because of its excellent light absorption performance. Nevertheless, its practical application in photocatalytic CO2reduction is hindered by severe photogenerated charge recombination and limited CO2adsorption capacity. Constructing a heterojunction has emerged as an effective strategy to mitigate charge recombination, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic performance of the catalyst. Herein, a series of CdS/g-C3N5-X heterojunction catalysts were prepared via an in situ hydrothermal approach. The obtained heterojunction catalysts exhibited a novel coral reef-like morphology which facilitated the exposure of additional active sites, thereby enhancing the adsorption and activation of CO2. Moreover, studies have shown that CdS can be anchored to the surface of g-C3N5through C-S bonds, forming a built-in electric field at the interface, which accelerated the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges. Consequently, the resulting heterojunction materials demonstrated high efficiency in photocatalytic CO2reduction with H2O as a sacrificial agent. In particular, CdS/g-C3N5-0.2 exhibited the maximum photocatalytic performance up to 22.9 μmol·g−1·h−1, which was 6 times and 3 times that of unmodified g-C3N5and CdS, respectively. The results indicated that the increased active sites and enhanced charge separation of the Cd/g-C3N5-0.2 catalyst were the primary reasons for its improved photocatalytic CO2reduction performance. This work provides a novel heterojunction-based photocatalyst for efficient CO2photocatalytic reduction, offering insights into the preparation of high-performance photocatalysts for sustainable energy applications.
