Pharmaceuticals, especially amine-based pharmaceuticals, such as nizatidine and ranitidine, contaminate water resist treatment. Here, different amounts of graphene sheets are coupled with g-C3N4 nanosheets (wt% ratio 0.5, 1, 3 5 wt% graphene) to verify the effect surface plasmon resonance introduced material. The synthesized materials were systematically examined by advanced analytical techniqu...

Abstract Graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4s) have continued to attract attention as metal-free, low-cost semiconductor catalysts. Herein, a systematic synthesis and characterization of g-C3N4s prepared using four conventional precursors (urea (U), dicyandiamide (DCDA), semicarbazide hydrochloride (SC-HCl), thiosemicarbazide (TSC)) an unexplored one (thiosemicarbazide (TSC-HCl)) is presented. Eq...

The major challenge of photocatalytic water splitting, the prototypical reaction for the direct production of hydrogen by using solar energy, is to develop low-cost yet highly efficient and stable semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, an effective strategy for synthesizing extremely active graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) from a low-cost precursor, urea, is reported. The g-C3N4 exhibits an ext...

Graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets were investigated for developing effective Pt catalyst supports for selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol in water. The nanosheets with an average thickness of about 3 nm were synthesized by a simple and green method through thermal oxidation etching of bulk g-C3N4 in air. Combined with the unique feature of nitrogen richness and locally con...

The Molecules Editorial Office wishes to make the following erratum to this paper [1]. There is a misspelling in the title of “Mechanism of NO Photocatalytic Oxidationon g-C3N4 Was Changed by Pd-QDs Modification.” The correct title should be “Mechanism of NO Photocatalytic Oxidation on g-C3N4 Was Changed by Pd-QDs Modification.” We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by this m...

Understanding the photoexcitation processes in semiconductors is critical for the design of advanced photocatalytic materials. Nevertheless, traditional viewpoints focus on photogenerated free charge carriers, which are somehow invalid once the many-body effects are taken into account, especially for polymeric photocatalysts. Here we systematically investigate the photoexcitation processes invo...

Atomically thick two-dimensional materials have been increasingly attracting research interest not only due to their promising applications in a range of functional devices but also to their theoretical value to unraveling the catalytic electron transfer process within a simplified scenario. In this work, the monoatomic-thick dot-sized graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been synthesized and ...

In the present work, we have synthesized an iron-decorated graphitic carbon nitride (Fe@g-C3N4) composite and employed it for electrochemical sensing of ciprofloxacin (CFX). The physicochemical characteristics Fe@g-C3N4 were analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive (EDX) spectroscopy methods. Further, pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was modifi...
