Graphitic Carbon Nitride/Reduced Graphene Oxide/Silver Oxide Nanostructures with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity in Visible Light
Authors
Abstract:
Visible light active graphitic carbon nitride/reduced graphene oxide/silver oxide nanocomposites with a p-n heterojunction structure were synthesized by chemical deposition methods. Prepared samples were characterized by different physico-chemical technics such as XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM and DRS. Photocatalytic activity investigated by analyzing the Acid blue 92 (AB92) concentration during the time under visible light. Effects of pH, dye concentration, photocatalyst dosage and different scavengers on photocatalytic performance explored. Maximum photocatalytic degradation observed at pH=7. Silver nitrate among other scavengers demonstrated maximum activity for dye degradation. Photocatalyst with 400 ppm concentration showed the highest activity. Proposed mechanism and reaction kinetics discussed.

New insight into the enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity over boron-doped reduced graphene oxide.
Boron-doped reduced graphene oxide (B-RGO) synthesized by a facile one-step reflux route is able to exhibit significantly higher photocatalytic activity than non-doped RGO under visible light irradiation. New insights accounting for this photocatalytic activity improvement are discussed, which is distinctly different from the case of B-RGO nanoribbons under UV light irradiation.

The development of visible-light responsive photocatalysts would permit more efficient use of solar energy, and thus would bring sustainable solutions to many environmental issues. Conductive polymers appear as a new class of very active photocatalysts under visible light. Among them poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is one of the most promising conjugated polymer with a wide range of ap...

Visible light responsive Graphene oxide (GO) nanotitania composite was synthesized and its photocatalytic activity was investigated for the degradation of Eosin Yellow (EY). The nanocomposite was synthesized by organic solvent free-controlled hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) exfoliated with 10 wt. % (0.5 g) of the as prepared GO particles under ultrasonication through in-situ additi...
full textImmobilizing photogenerated electrons from graphitic carbon nitride for an improved visible-light photocatalytic activity
Reducing the recombination probability of photogenerated electrons and holes is pivotal in enhancing the photocatalytic ability of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). Speeding the departure of photogenerated electrons is the most commonly used method of achieving this. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on suppressing the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs by immob...
