Photocatalytic H2 Generation In article number 2000504, Hua Tang and co-workers designed a promising ternary photocatalyst CoO/TCN/Au heterostructure via integrating Au CoO nanoparticles with g-C3N4 hollow nanotubes. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of promoted charge-carrier generation in g-C3N4, the appropriate band alignment between boosted hot electrons transfer from to which acti...

Copper-based zeolite catalysts are widely used in methanol synthesis from methane oxidation, but their photothermal catalytic properties have seldom been explored. This study examines the effect of preparation method on Cu-based composite graphite-phase carbon nitride (Cu-MOR/g-C3N4) for direct oxidation by catalysis. Four different methods employed: liquid phase ion exchange (Cu-MOR/g-C3N4-IE)...

A new type of graphitic C3N4-based composite photocatalysts was designed and prepared by co-loading PEDOT as a hole transport pathway and Pt as an electron trap on C3N4. The as-prepared C3N4-PEDOT-Pt composites showed drastically enhanced activity for visible light-driven photocatalytic H2 production compared to those of C3N4-PEDOT and C3N4-Pt, possibly due to the spatial separation of the redu...

Herein, a novel Cu-MoO3/g-C3N4 hybrid nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by a two-step strategy of one-pot pyrolysis followed by the impregnation method. The structure, phase, morphology and electronic environment of MoO3, g-C3N4 and Cu in the composite were determined by various characterization methods. The oxygen vacancies of MoO3 were ascertained by UV-DRS, Raman, and XPS analysis. ...

A solvothermal self-made composite of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and commercially available titanium dioxide (TiO2) demonstrated the removal commercial acid green-25 (AG-25) textile dye in a saline water matrix when activated by ultraviolet (UV) visible light. The g-C3N4-TiO2 was characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), Nitrogen sorption–desorption recording modeling Brunauer–Emmett–Teller...

In this paper, a composite of tin diselenide (SnSe2) functionalized by graphite-phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was successfully prepared hydrothermal method, and characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These microstructure characterization results verified the successful synthesis multilayer g-C3N4/rod-shaped SnSe2 composite. Th...

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a visible light photocatalyst, limited by low activity mainly caused by rapid recombination of charge carriers. In the present work, honeycomb-like g-C3N4 was synthesized via thermal condensation of urea with addition of water at 450 °C for 1 h. Prolonging the condensation time caused the morphology of g-C3N4 to change from a porous honeycomb structure to a ...

Graphitic-C3N4(g-C3N4), a low-cost visible-light-driven photocatalyst, was used for the photocatalytic oxidation of aqueous methylene blue (MB) in the dark with Sr4Al14O25:(Eu,Dy) assistance. The Sr4Al14O25:(Eu,Dy)/g-C3N4 photocatalysts were fabricated through the ultrasonic dispersion method. The commercial Sr4Al14O25:(Eu,Dy) phosphor was used as a long afterglow supplier for exciting g-C3N4 i...
