Photocatalytic Stille Cross-coupling on Gold/g-C3N4Nano-heterojunction

Heterogeneous catalysts have been developed for C-C coupling reactions, but stand low activity and always proceed under harsh conditions. Photocatalytic Stille cross-coupling reaction as a green catalytic method for C-C bond formation is of great interest for a wide range of scientists but still lacks stable and highly efficient catalysts. Herein, we have designed an Au nanoparticle-graphitic carbon nitride heterojunction as an outstanding photocatalyst for artificial photosynthesis in Stille cross-coupling reaction. The interface effect between metal and semiconductor makes electron rectify and prevents the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Moreover, the efficiency of Au nanoparticle catalysts could be adjusted by gold contents. Thus the turnover frequency(TOF) value reached the highest level of 788 h^-1 over the optimal heterojunction catalyst. Most importantly, the C-C bond formation reaction has been proved to be carried out well under visible light irradiation, indicating the low-cost organic synthesis process. Further analysis confirmed the stability and general application of our heterogeneous Au nano-heterojunction catalyst.     

Surface Engineering of g-C3N4 by Stacked BiOBr Sheets Rich in Oxygen Vacancies for Boosting Photocatalytic Performance

BiOBr containing surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) was prepared by a simple solvothermal method and combined with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) to construct a heterojunction for photocatalytic oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) and reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂). The formation of the heterojunction enhanced the transfer and separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Furthermore, the surface OVs sufficiently exposed catalytically active sites, and enabled capture of photoexcited electrons at the surface of the catalyst. Internal recombination of photogenerated charges was also limited, which contributed to generation of more active oxygen for NO oxidation. Heterojunction and OVs worked together to form a spatial conductive network framework, which achieved 63 % NO removal, 96 % selectivity for carbonaceous products (that is, CO and CH₄). The stability of the catalyst was confirmed by cycling experiments and X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy after NO removal.

Heterostructured Nitrogen and Sulfur co-Doped Black TiO2/g-C3N4 Photocatalyst with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

Conventional titanium dioxide(TiO₂) photocatalyst could absorb only ultraviolet light due to its wide bandgap. In this paper, black TiO₂ with narrow bandgap was prepared by introducing oxygen vacancies. Meanwhile, nitrogen(N) and sulfur(S) elements were doped to further broaden the visible light response range of TiO₂(NS-BT), and then heterostructured N,S-doped black TiO₂/g-C₃N₄(CN/NS-BT) was successfully constructed by easily accessible route. The formation of CN/NS-BT heterojunction structure increased the generation and separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, as well as accelerated the transfer rate of the carriers. The as-prepared CN/NS-BT exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance towards the degradation of Rhodamine B(RhB) under visible light irradiation with satisfactory stability. The apparent reaction rate constant of CN/NS-BT(0.0079) was 15.8-fold higher than that of commercial P25(0.0005). The structure, morphology, chemical composition and optical properties of the as-prepared CN/NS-BT were characterized by various analytical methods, and possible photocatalytic enhancement mechanism was proposed. Overall, CN/NS-BT composites look promising as photocatalytic material for future environmental treatment.     

In-situ Construction of Sulfur-doped g-C3N4/defective g-C3N4 Iso-type Step-scheme Heterojunction for Boosting Photocatalytic H2 Evolution

The rational construction of a high-efficiency stepscheme heterojunctions is an effective strategy to accelerate the photocatalytic H₂.Unfortunately,the variant energy-level matching between two different semiconductor confers limited the photocatalytic performance.Herein,a newfangled graphitic-carbon nitride(g-C₃N₄)based isotype step-scheme heterojunction,which consists of sulfur-doped and defective active sites in one microstructural unit,is successfully developed by in-situ polymerizing N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF)and urea,accompanied by sulfur(S)powder.Therein,the polymerization between the amino groups of DMF and the amide group of urea endows the formation of rich defects.The propulsive integration of S-dopants contributes to the excellent fluffiness and dispersibility of lamellar g-C₃N₄.Moreover,the developed heterojunction exhibits a significantly enlarged surface area,thus leading to the more exposed catalytically active sites.Most importantly,the simultaneous introduction of S-doping and defects in the units of g-C₃N₄ also results in a significant improvement in the separation,transfer and recombination efficiency of photo-excited electron-hole pairs.Therefore,the resulting isotype step-scheme heterojunction possesses a superior photocatalytic H₂ evolution activity in comparison with pristine g-C₃N₄.The newly afforded metal-free isotype step-scheme heterojunction in this work will supply a new insight into coupling strategies of heteroatoms doping and defect engineering for various photocatalytic systems.

Oxidative desulfurization is considered to be one of the promising new methods for super-deep desulfurization of fuel oil. Herein, zinc phthalocyanine/g-C₃N₄ (g-C₃N₄/ZnTcPc) composites were synthesized by a facile in situ hydrothermal technique, utilizing g-C₃N₄, Zn(CH₃COO)₂ and 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride as the precursors.

Photocatalytic activity of the resulting g-C₃N₄/ZnTcPc composites was evaluated by desulfurization of thiophene in fuel under visible light with molecular O₂ as the oxidant. Compared with pure g-C₃N₄ and ZnTcPc, g-C₃N₄/ZnTcPc presented a significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of thiophene in fuel under visible irradiation.

The possible preparation pathway of g-C₃N₄/ZnTcPc has been proposed according to the results of XRD and TEM. The formation mechanism of g-C₃N₄/ZnTcPc–O₂ complex is proposed to be desulfurization by molecular oxygen.

Highly Efficient Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 Z-Scheme Photocatalyst for Its Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance in Degradation of Rhodamine B and Phenol

Ag₃PO₄/g-C₃N₄ heterojunctions, with different g-C₃N₄ dosages, were synthesized using an in situ deposition method, and the photocatalytic performance of g-C₃N₄/Ag₃PO₄ heterojunctions was studied under simulated sunlight conditions. The results revealed that Ag₃PO₄/g-C₃N₄ exhibited excellent photocatalytic degradation activity for rhodamine B (Rh B) and phenol under the same light conditions. When the dosage of g-C₃N₄ was 30%, the degradation rate of Rh B at 9 min and phenol at 30 min was found to be 99.4% and 97.3%, respectively. After five cycles of the degradation experiment for Rh B, g-C₃N₄/Ag₃PO₄ still demonstrated stable photodegradation characteristics. The significant improvement in the photocatalytic activity and stability of g-C₃N₄/Ag₃PO₄ was attributed to the rapid charge separation between g-C₃N₄ and Ag₃PO₄ during the Z-scheme charge transfer and recombination process.     

Enhance ZnO Photocatalytic Performance via Radiation Modified g-C3N4

Environmental pollution, especially water pollution, is becoming increasingly serious. Organic dyes are one type of the harmful pollutants that pollute groundwater and destroy ecosystems. In this work, a series of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄)/ZnO photocatalysts were facilely synthesized through a grinding method using ZnO nanoparticles and g-C₃N₄ as the starting materials. According to the results, the photocatalytic performance of 10 wt.% CN-200/Z-500 (CN-200, which g-C₃N₄ was 200 kGy, referred to the irradiation metering. Z-500, which ZnO was 500 °C, referred to the calcination temperature) with the CN-200 exposed to electron beam radiation was better than those of either Z-500 or CN-200 alone. This material displayed a 98.9% degradation rate of MB (20 mg/L) in 120 min. The improvement of the photocatalytic performance of the 10 wt.% CN-200/Z-500 composite material was caused by the improvement of the separation efficiency of photoinduced electron–hole pairs, which was, in turn, due to the formation of heterojunctions between CN-200 and Z-500 interfaces. Thus, this study proposes the application of electron-beam irradiation technology for the modification of photocatalytic materials and the improvement of photocatalytic performance.     

In situ Carbon Modification of g-C3N4 from Urea co-Crystal with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity Towards Degradation of Organic Dyes Under Visible Light

An in situ strategy was introduced for synthesizing carbon modified graphitic carbon nitride(g-C₃N₄) by using urea/4-aminobenzoic acid(PABA) co-crystal(PABA@Urea) as precursor materials. Via co-calcination of the PABA co-former and the urea in PABA@Urea co-crystals, C guest species were generated and compounded into g-C₃N₄ matrix in situ by replacing the lattice N of the carbon nitride and forming carbon dots onto its layer surface. The carbon modification dramatically enhanced visible-light harvesting and charge carrier separation. Therefore, visible light photo-catalytic oxidation of methylene blue(MB) pollution in water over the carbon modified g-C₃N₄(C/g-C₃N₄) was notably improved. Up to 99% of methylene blue(MB) was eliminated within 60 min by the optimal sample prepared from the PABA@Urea co-crystal with a PABA content of 0.1%(mass ratio), faster than the degradation rate over bare g-C₃N₄. The present study demonstrates a new way to boost up the photocatalysis performance of g-C₃N₄, which holds great potential concerning the degradation of organic dyes from water.     

Significantly Enhanced Performance of g-C3N4/Bi2MoO6 Films for Photocatalytic Degradation of Pollutants Under Visible-light Irradiation

The films of photocatalysts have been widely used in decomposition pollutants. In this study, the films were successfully prepared from Bi₂MoO₆ and g-C₃N₄/Bi₂MoO₆ by a simple method, respectively. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), photoluminescence(PL), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(DRS) and electrochemical experiments to investigate crystalline structure, morphology, composition and properties. The photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst films for the pollutants was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue(MB) in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. Experiments revealed that the film of g-C₃N₄/Bi₂MoO₆ exhibited higher photocatalytic ability compared to the single-component photocatalyst, and proved its stability. The superior catalytic performance can be attributed to the effective separation of electron-hole pairs and the reduced rate of recombination. This work is of great value for the preparation of photocatalysts films.     

Enhanced Visible-light Photocatalytic Activity of g-C3N4/Nitrogen-doped Graphene Quantum Dots/TiO2 Ternary Heterojunctions for Ciprofloxacin Degradation with Narrow Band Gap and High Charge Carrier Mobility

Limited visible-light absorption and high recombination rate of photogenerated charges are two main drawbacks in g-C₃N₄-based photocatalysts. To solve these problems, g-C₃N₄/nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs)/TiO₂ ternary heterojunctions were facilely prepared via a one-step calcining method. The morphology, structure, optical and electrochemical properties of g-C₃N₄/NGQDs/TiO₂ were characterized and explored. The optimal g-C₃N₄/NGQDs/TiO₂ composite exhibits enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance of ciprofloxacin (CIP) compared with the as-prepared g-C₃N₄, TiO₂(P25) and g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ heterojunction under visible light irradiation. The apparent rate constant of the composite is around 6.43, 4.03 and 2.30 times higher than those of g-C₃N₄, TiO₂ and g-C₃N₄/TiO₂, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic efficiency should be mainly attributed to the improvement of light absorption and charge separation and transfer efficiency, originating from the narrow band gap and high charge carrier mobility. The active species trapping experiments results showed that the h⁺ and ^·O₂^- were the main active species in the degradation process. A possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism of the g-C₃N₄/NGQDs/TiO₂ composite for the enhanced degradation of CIP under visible light irradiation was also proposed.
