Novel CaCO3/g-C3N4 composites with enhanced charge separation and photocatalytic activity

A novel CaCO₃/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) photocatalyst was synthesized for the first time via a facile calcination method using CaCO₃ and melamine as precursors. The as-prepared samples were characterized using various techniques, such as scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, as well as Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron, photoluminescence, and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results of the experiments confirm the successful coupling of CaCO₃ to g-C₃N₄. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized CaCO₃/g-C₃N₄ composites was evaluated by assessing their performance in the photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet (CV) in water under visible light irradiation. The analysis shows that CaCO₃/g-C₃N₄ exhibits higher photocatalytic activity towards CV degradation (76.0%) than pristine g-C₃N₄ (21.6%) and CaCO₃ (23.2%). Radical trapping and electron spin resonance experiments show that hydroxyl radicals (OH) and holes (h⁺) are the key reactive species in the photocatalytic process. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composite is mainly attributed to the efficient separation rate of electron-hole pairs achieved through the incorporation of CaCO₃.     

2D/2D BiOBr/g-C3N4 S型异质结光催化性能

近年来,能源短缺和环境污染严重威胁人类的可持续发展.光催化技术具有绿色环保、成本低等优势,被认为是解决上述问题的最佳途径之一,其实用化的核心是开发高效可见光催化材料.石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)因其物理化学性质稳定、无毒、廉价及能带适宜等特点,广泛应用于光催化领域.然而,光生载流子易复合、比表面积小等问题不利于其实际应...     

新颖CdMoO4/g-C3N4复合材料的制备及其可见光增强的电荷分离和光催化活性（英文）

半导体光催化技术因其能够完全矿化和降解废水以及废气中的各种有机和无机污染物而受到越来越多研究者关注.尽管TiO2作为光催化剂显示了良好的应用前景,但其只对紫外光响应,该部分能量大约仅占太阳光谱的5%,从而限制了其实际应用.因此,开发新型可见光响应光催化剂成为光催化领域的研究焦点之一.石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)作为一种光催化材料,由于具有良好的热和化学稳定性以及可见光响应而备受关注.然而,单纯的g-C3N4由于光生电荷载流子易复合,光催化效果并不理想.为进一步提高g-C3N4的光催化活性,构建g-C3N4基异质结复合光催化材料被认为是增强g-C3N4光生电子-空穴分离效率的有效方法.CdMoO4作为一种光催化材料,与g-C3N4匹配的能带有利于光生电子-空穴的分离,从而提高g-C3N4的光催化活性.本文通过便利的原位沉淀-煅烧过程,制备了新颖的CdMoO4/g-C3N4异质复合光催化材料.复合材料的晶相构成、形貌、表面化学组分和光学特性等通过相应的分析测试手段进行表征.光催化活性通过可见光下催化降解罗丹明B水溶液来评价.结果显示,将CdMoO4沉积在g-C3N4表面形成复合材料可明显提高光催化活性,且当CdMoO4含量为4.8 wt%时达到最佳的光催化活性.这种显著增强的光催化活性可能是由于CdMoO4/g-C3N4复合物能够有效地传输和分离光生电荷载流子,从而抑制了光生电子-空穴的复合.电化学阻抗、瞬态光电流和稳定荧光光谱测试结果证实,通过CdMoO4与g-C3N4复合可有效增强电荷分离效率.此外,活性物捕获实验表明,在光催化过程中空穴(h+)和超氧自由基(?O2?)是主要活性物种.根据莫托-肖特基实验并结合紫外-可见漫反射吸收光谱,得到了单纯g-C3N4和CdMoO4的能带结构,提出了形成的II型异质结有助于增强光催化活性的机理.     

Enhanced photocatalytic H2 production over dual-cocatalyst-modified g-C3N4 heterojunctions

Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited on the surface of g-C₃N₄ (CN) by an in situ calcination method. NiS was successfully loaded onto the composites by a hydrothermal method. The results showed that the 10 wt%-NiS/1.0 wt%-Ag/CN composite exhibits excellent photocatalytic H₂ generation performance under solar-light irradiation. An H₂ production rate of 9.728 mmol·g^?1·h^?1 was achieved, which is 10.82-, 3.45-, and 2.77-times higher than those of pure g-C₃N₄, 10 wt%-NiS/CN, and 1.0 wt%-Ag/CN composites, respectively. This enhanced photocatalytic H₂ generation can be ascribed to the co-decoration of Ag and NiS on the surface of g-C₃N₄, which efficiently improves light harvesting capacity, photogenerated charge carrier separation, and photocatalytic H₂ production kinetics. Thus, this study demonstrates an effective strategy for constructing excellent g-C₃N₄-related composite photocatalysts for H₂ production by using different co-catalysts.     

A carbon-rich g-C3N4 with promoted charge separation for highly efficient photocatalytic degradation of amoxicillin

A novel carbon-rich g-C₃N₄ nanosheets with large surface area was prepared by facile thermal polymerization method using urea and 1,3,5-cyclohexanetriol. Plenty of carbon-rich functional groups were introduced into the surface layers of g-C₃N₄, which constructed the built-in electric field (BIEF) and resulted in improved charge separation; therefore, the carbon-rich g-C₃N₄ displayed superior photocatalytic activity for amoxicillin degradation under solar light. The contaminant degradation mechanism was proposed based on radical quenching experiments, intermediates analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Moreover, the reusing experiments showed the high stability of the material, and the amoxicillin degradation under various water matrix parameters indicated its high applicability on pollutants treatment, all of which demonstrated its high engineering application potentials.     

新型BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化剂的制备及其可见光催化活性增强

近年来, 石墨型氮化碳(g-C3N4)作为一种n型半导体光催化剂材料, 由于具有较好的热稳定性和化学稳定性, 同时具有可调的带隙结构和优异的表面性质而备受人们关注. 然而, 传统的g-C3N4块体材料存在比表面积小、光响应范围窄和光生载流子易复合等缺陷, 制约着其光催化活性的进一步提高. 因此, 人们开发了多种技术对块体状g-C3N4材料进行改性,其中构建基于g-C3N4纳米薄片的异质结复合光催化材料被认为是强化g-C3N4载流子分离效率, 进而提高其可见光催化活性的重要手段. BiOI作为一种窄带隙的p型半导体光催化剂, 具有强的可见光吸收能力和较高的光催化活性, 同时它与g-C3N4纳米薄片具有能级匹配的带隙结构. 因此, 基于以上两种半导体材料的特性, 构建新型的BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化剂材料不仅能够有效提高g-C3N4的可见光利用率, 而且还可以在n型g-C3N4和p型BiOI界面间形成内建电场, 极大促进光生电子-空穴对的分离与迁移效率.为此, 本文通过简单的一步溶剂热法在g-C3N4纳米薄片表面原位生长BiOI纳米片材料, 成功制备了新型的BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化剂. 利用X射线衍射仪(XRD), 场发射扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱和瞬态光电流响应谱对所合成复合光催化剂的晶体结构、微观形貌、光吸收性能和电荷分离性能进行了表征测试. XRD, SEM和TEM结果显示, 结晶完好的BiOI呈小片状均匀分散在g-C3N4纳米薄片表面; 紫外漫反射光谱表明, 纳米片复合材料的吸光性能较g-C3N4薄片有显著提升; 瞬态光电流测试证明, 复合材料较单一材料有更好的电荷分离与迁移性能.在可见光催化降解RhB的测试中, BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化剂显示出了优异的催化活性和稳定性, 其光降解活性分别为纯BiOI和g-C3N4的34.89和1.72倍; 自由基捕获实验发现, 反应过程中的主要活性物种为超氧自由基(·O2-), 即光生电子主导整个降解反应的发生. 由此可见, 强的可见光吸收能力和g-C3N4与BiOI界面处形成的内建电场协同促进了g-C3N4纳米薄片的电荷分离, 进而显著提高了该复合材料的可见光催化降解活性. 此外, 本文初步验证了在BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化体系内光生电荷是依据"双向转移"机制进行分离和迁移的, 而非"Z型转移"机制.     

Efficient Z-scheme g-C3N4/MoO3 heterojunction photocatalysts decorated with carbon quantum dots: improved visible-light absorption and charge separation

Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts based on g-C₃N₄ generally need to recombine g-C₃N₄ and a wide bandgap semiconductor. This structure is limited by the large bandgap of the constituent material, which can effectively suppress carrier recombination while limiting the absorption of visible light. Due to the superior up-conversion photoluminescence properties of the carbon quantum dots (CQDs), this dilemma can be solved ingeniously by adding CQDs to the composite. Moreover, the charge reservoirs of CQDs are conducive to the charge carrier separation effect. In this work, a novel CQDs-modified Z-type photocatalyst is constructed and the successful implantation of CQDs is demonstrated. The composite catalyst exhibits broad-spectrum response to visible light and the overall performance is obviously superior to that of the binary MoO₃/g-C₃N₄ heterojunction. The high efficiency and versatility of the degradation imply that the newly prepared CQDs/g-C₃N₄/MoO₃ is a versatile photocatalyst for the removal of various target pollutants in the environment.

     

MxCo3O4/g-C3N4 Derived from Bimetallic MOFs/g-C3N4 Composites for Styrene Epoxidation by Synergistic Photothermal Catalysis

Although metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) have been widely reported as precursors for obtaining various porous materials in recent years, the limited MOF types and monofunctional active site of MOF-based catalysts remain to be hard to crack. Herein, bimetallic MOFs, MCo-ZIFs stabilized by graphitized carbon nitride(g-C₃N₄) and their pyrolytic M_xCo₃O₄/g-C₃N₄ hybrids(M=Zn, Cu, Fe, Ni) have been designedly synthesized. The obtained M_xCo₃O₄/g-C₃N₄ hybrids display synergistic photothermal effect from both M_xCo₃O₄ and g-C₃N₄ under visible light irradiation. Significantly, the solution temperature can be heated from room temperature(20℃) to 66℃ after 40 min irradiation. Therefore, the catalytic activity of M_xCo₃O₄/g-C₃N₄ exceeds those of most reported catalysts under mild reaction conditions. The optimal Zn_xCo₃O₄/g-C₃N₄ catalyst realizes 96% conversion and 75% selectivity toward styrene oxide within 20 min. Incredibly, the Cu_xCo₃O₄/g-C₃N₄ could achieve up to 89% selectivity toward styrene oxide. To our knowledge, this is the first report about the novel photothermal effect of ZIFs-derived metal oxides.     

利用硫化铋纳米颗粒增强类石墨相氮化碳的光生载流子分离效率和光催化活性（英文）

二氧化钛,氧化锌,磷酸铋等传统的紫外光响应光催化剂虽然具有良好的光催化性能,但是对太阳能利用率很低(紫外光只占太阳光能量的4%左右).近年来,类石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)受到了广泛的关注.g-C3N4的带隙约2.7 eV,它只能吸收460nm以下的光,对太阳能的利用率依然比较低.构筑异质结是一种有效的提高光催化活性的方法.BiOCl/g-C3N4,TiO2/g-C3N4, Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4, Al2O3/g-C3N4, Ag3PO4/g-C3N4等异质结光催化剂曾被广泛的报道.硫化铋是属于正交晶系的窄带隙半导体,它的带隙约1.3–1.7 e V.由于其独特的电子结构和光学特性,硫化铋在光催化,光检测器和医药成像等领域有着广泛的应用.另外,硫化铋还具有优异的光热转换性能,在光热癌症治疗领域有显著的效果.微波辅助法,水热法,惰性气体下高温煅烧法等都曾被用来合成g-C3N4/Bi2S3异质结光催化剂.不同的文献也提出了不同的催化机理.如何使用更简单环保的方法来合成g-C3N4/Bi2S3异质结光催化剂?电子和空穴的转移路径是怎样的?本文利用简单的低温方法合成了硫化铋,利用超声法得到了g-C3N4/Bi2S3异质结光催化剂,分析了其微观形貌,结构,并探讨了光催化的反应机理和提高光催化性能的因素.X射线衍射,傅里叶变换红外光谱, X射线光电子能谱和透射电子显微镜的结果表明,硫化铋纳米颗粒被成功地引入到g-C3N4中.使用亚甲基蓝为分子探针研究了所制材料在模拟太阳光下的光催化活性.结果发现, CN-BiS-2表现出最佳的光催化活性,是g-C3N4的2.05倍,是Bi2S3的4.42倍.利用液相色谱二级质谱联用分析了亚甲基蓝的降解路径.硫化铋的引入拓展了复合材料的吸收边,使其向可见光区红移,且在整个可见光区的光吸收能力都有明显的增强.光电流的增强和交流阻抗谱圆弧半径的减小,表明光生载流子的迁移与分离速率得到了增强.自由基捕获试验表明,最主要的活性物种是光生空穴,次之是羟基自由基和超氧自由基.在CN-Bi S-2样品中羟基自由基和超氧自由基的电子顺磁共振信号都比g-C3N4有明显的增强,表明复合样品中能够产生更多的羟基自由基和超氧自由基.基于光电流,交流阻抗,荧光光谱,自由基捕获和电子顺磁共振的结果,我们提出了高能电子由硫化铋转移到g-C3N4,同时空穴由g-C3N4转移到硫化铋的电子空穴转移机制.此外,红外热成像的结果表明, g-C3N4/Bi2S3异质结材料具有更强的光热转换能力,从而有利于加速光生载流子分离.     

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.     

NiFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterojunction composite with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity

Spinel structure nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄) doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) photocatalyst NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ was synthesized by the coprecipitation route to enhance the photocatalytic activity for the visible-light driven degradation of methyl orange. The NiFe₂O₄ doping content is responsible for the microstructure and photocatalytic activity of NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ samples. Compared with pure NiFe₂O₄ and g-C₃N₄, the 2-NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ composite with NiFe₂O₄ doping of 2.0 wt% exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity and superior stability after five runs for degrading methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The catalytic activity of 2-NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ sample produced using the coprecipitation route was higher than those of conventional 2-NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ bulks prepared by the impregnation approach. The prepared samples for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. It’s ascribed to the synergistic effect between NiFe₂O₄ and g-C₃N₄, which can inhibit the recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs, accelerate photoproduced charges separation, and enhance the visible light absorption.     

A simple and rapid route for synthesizing the nanosized g-C3N4 materials with narrow bandgap and their photocatalytic activity

The graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) materials with many intriguing properties have attracted much attention in photocatalysis. The photocatalytic activity of g-C₃N₄ is hindered by serious aggregation and limited exposed active sites. Herein is shown that nanosized g-C₃N₄ can be simply obtained by a superfast high-pressure homogenization approach. The high-pressure homogenization treatment can provide strong force to cut and/or to exfoliate the bulk g-C₃N₄ into nanosized g-C₃N₄ with good dispersion. Moreover, choosing different solvents during treatment can cause a different surface structure of as-prepared nanosized g-C₃N₄. In addition, the narrow bandgap properties, the high photogenerated charge carrier separation, and the transport abilities are achieved in as-prepared nanosized g-C₃N₄ because of the retaining conjugated C₃N₄ system. Specifically, the photocatalytic activities of as-prepared nanosized g-C₃N₄ have been significantly enhanced in terms of degradation of organic dye Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation (10 times higher than that of bulk g-C₃N₄). These findings can provide a promising and simple approach to the exfoliation, nanonization, and surface functionalization of 2D layered materials.     

Construction of direct Z-scheme g-C3N4/TiO2 nanorod composites for promoting photocatalytic activity

Direct Z-scheme g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ nanorod composites were prepared for enhancing photocatalytic activity for pollutant removal. The characterization revealed that the g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ nanorod composite formed a close interface contact between g-C₃N₄ and TiO₂ nanorods, which was of benefit for the charge transfer and resulted in its high photocatalytic activity. The g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ nanorod composites exhibited higher photocatalytic activity for degradation of Rhodamine B (RHB) than bare g-C₃N₄ and TiO₂ nanorods. The high photocatalytic activity of g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ nanorod composites is attributed to the formation of the direct Z-scheme system, in which the electrons from the conduction band (CB) of TiO₂ combine with the holes from the valence band (VB) of C₃N₄ while the electrons from the CB of C₃N₄ and holes from the VB of TiO₂ with stronger redox ability are used to reduce and oxidize pollutants. Based on the radical-trapping experiments, the main reactive species for RHB degradation are O₂⁻ and · OH, which are produced by photoinduced electrons and holes with high redox ability. This work provides insights into the photocatalytic mechanism of composite materials for the photocatalytic removal of organic pollutants.     

一种简单前驱体预处理策略制备多孔氮化碳和负载型多孔氮化碳及其高效可见光光催化活性

作为一种非金属半导体光催化剂,石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)已广泛应用于水中有机污染物去除、劈裂水产氢、二氧化碳还原制碳氢化合物燃料以及选择性氧化有机合成等许多光催化领域.然而,聚集态层状结构和粉末物理状态严重限制了g-C3N4在非均相光催化反应中的实际应用.一方面,g-C3N4的聚集态层状结构限制了光生载流子的表面迁移并增加了光催化反应的传质阻力.另一方面,由于附加的固-液分离步骤,粉体g-C3N4不便于实际应用.因此,为解决g-C3N4的上述缺点,一些研究已经进行并集中于g-C3N4的形貌控制合成及负载.构建多孔微观结构是合成具有优异光催化活性g-C3N4的有效途径之一.本文研究表明,盐酸或乙二醇预处理的三聚氰胺均可用作制备多孔g-C3N4的前驱体.有趣的是,由于在多孔g-C3N4制备体系中不同制孔单元的共存,与通过盐酸或乙二醇单独预处理的三聚氰胺制备的多孔g-C3N4相比,通过二者共同预处理的三聚氰胺制备的多孔g-C3N4具有更丰富的多孔微观结构.与制备负载型二氧化钛不同,由于在制备g-C3N4过程中缺少溶胶-凝胶步骤,因此负载型g-C3N4较难制备.而且,对于氟-锡氧化物(FTO)基底负载的g-C3N4,在实际应用中存在一些不足.首先,FTO基底的片状物理结构不利于反应底物的扩散.其次,FTO基底的吸光效应会导致光能损失,因此g-C3N4只能在FTO基底的单面负载.最后,在g-C3N4和FTO基底之间无化学作用,因此在光催化反应过程中不可避免造成g-C3N4的损失.因此,以盐酸/乙二醇共同预处理的三聚氰胺作原料,氢氟酸/3-氨基丙基三甲氧基硅烷共同预处理的石英棒作基底,首次制备了多孔g-C3N4和负载型多孔g-C3N4.丰富的多孔微观结构使得所制多孔g-C3N4具有优异的光催化活性;且由于多孔g-C3N4与石英棒基底间存在化学作用,因而具有相当高的稳定性.另外,由于在构建石英棒反应器之后不影响光生载流子的表面迁移和目标有机污染物的扩散,因此负载型多孔g-C3N4的光催化活性与粉体多孔g-C3N4相似.所制备多孔g-C3N4和负载型多孔g-C3N4的光催化活性通过在可见光条件下单组份有机废水的处理进行初步评价.在有机污染物降解同时产氢系统中,由于水和有机污染物之间的氧化还原反应难于进行,因此与传统的光催化降解和产氢系统相比,所制多孔g-C3N4的氢气产率和降解效率均显著降低;然而,在有机污染物降解同时产氢系统中,随着该材料光催化活性的提高,氢气产率和降解效率同时提高.这是因为光催化剂电子传递能力的提高促进了有机污染物和水之间的氧化还原反应.     

The Z-scheme g-C3N4/3DOM-WO3 photocatalysts with enhanced activity for CO2 photoreduction into CO

The catalytic performance of light-derived CO₂reduction with H₂O is strongly dependent on the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers.Herein,the direct Z-scheme catalysts （g-C₃N₄/3DOM-WO₃）of graphitic carbon nitride （g-C₃N₄） nanosheets decorated three-dimensional ordered macroporous WO₃（3DOM-WO₃） were successfully fabricated by using the in-situ colloidal crystal template method.The slow l...     

Preparation and enhanced visible light photoelectrochemical activity of g-C3N4/ZnO nanotube arrays

Graphite-like carbon nitride particles were deposited onto ZnO nanotube arrays by thermal polycondenzation and the photoelectrochemical energy conversion property of the g-C₃N₄/ZnO photocathode was investigated. The photocurrent generated by the g-C₃N₄/ZnO composite photocathode is nearly five times as that of g-C₃N₄ and ten times as that of ZnO under visible light irradiation at applied potential of +0.40 V vs. Ag/AgCl electrode. The incident photon to electron conversion efficiency is also greatly enhanced after the modification of g-C₃N₄ nanoparticles onto the ZnO nanotube arrays. In addition, the g-C₃N₄/ZnO electrode exhibits excellent long-term stability. The matching conduction bands and valence bands of g-C₃N₄ and ZnO greatly enhanced the separation and transfer of the photogenerated electrons and holes in the composite, thus the photoelectrochemical performance of the g-C₃N₄/ZnO electrode is improved.     

Carbon self-doping induced high electronic conductivity and photoreactivity of g-C3N4

We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that carbon self-doping could induce intrinsic electronic and band structure change of g-C(3)N(4)via the formation of delocalized big π bonds to increase visible light absorption and electrical conductivity as well as surface area and thus enhance both photooxidation and photoreduction activities.     

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.     

Fabrication of novel Ag/g-C3N4 electrode for resveratrol sensors

Ag/g-C₃N₄ is fabricated and used as an electrode for determining trans-resveratrol concentration. The compositional and structural characteristics of the as-fabricated Ag/g-C₃N₄ are studied through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Additionally, the electrochemical behavior of Ag/g-C₃N₄ is investigated using cyclic voltammetry. According to the experimental results, 1 wt%Ag/g-C₃N₄ exhibits an oxidation peak at 0.48 V, with a low detection limit (1.88 × 10⁻⁷ M) and satisfactory correlation coefficient (0.9975), suggesting that the proposed Ag/g-C₃N₄ electrode can be successfully used for detecting trans-resveratrol.     

g-C3N4/BiVO4复合光催化剂的合成及其光催化活性研究

以g-C_3N_4和BiVO_4为主要原料,用高温水热法合成出BiVO4/g-C_3N_4复合催化剂。采用X-射线衍射(PXRD)和紫外-可见漫反射吸收光谱(UV-Vis),对复合催化剂BiVO_4/g-C_3N_4的结构进行表征。在可见光下,考察此复合催化剂对亚甲基蓝的降解性能。研究发现,复合催化剂具有g-C_3N_4和BiVO_4结构特征,在X-射线衍射峰上显示出轻微的宽化,质量比为10%的BiVO_4/g-C_3N_4光催化剂降解活性最好,其降解率在360分钟能达到70.6%。
