Both non-metallic g-C3N4 and BiVO4 are novel photocatalysts responsive to visible light, but their low charge separation efficiency restricts inconspicuous photocatalytic activity. In this paper, direct Z-type g-C3N4/BiVO4 photocatalyst was constructed by calcination hydrothermal for the degradation of methylene blue. The existence heterojunction confirmed detailed study its chemical structure ...

We have investigated the structures, electronic structures and magnetic properties of the triazine-based g-C3N4 (gt-C3N4) monolayer doped with B, Al, and Cu atoms based on density functional theory using ab initio calculations. The B atom prefers to be situated at the center of the triazine ring, whereas the Al and Cu atoms tend to be located above the center of the triazine ring. The doping at...

Some recent observations made polymeric graphitic Carbon Nitride (ideally C3N4)n a nice extension to current semiconducting organic system. This is due to the ease of synthesis, but also due to its extreme chemical stability. Made from urea under early-Earth conditions, as reported already by Justus Liebig in 1832, it just recently turned out to be a novel catalyst whichamong other reactionscan...

The design and construction of heterojunction photocatalysts, which possess a staggered energy band structure appropriate interfacial contact, is an effective way to achieve outstanding photocatalytic performance.

Removing organic dyes from contaminated wastewater resulting industrial effluents with a cost-effective approach addresses major global challenge. The adsorption technique onto carbon-based materials and metal oxide is one of the most effective dye removal procedures. current work aimed to evaluate application calcium oxide-doped carbon nitride nanostructures (CaO-g-C3N4) eliminate basic fuchsi...

In this study, ZnO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites were prepared via a physical mixing-calcination process for improved degradation of dyes under visible light irradiation. The BET surface area, pore volume, crystal size, and pHpzc the composite 3.9 m2/g, 0.034 cm3/g, 18.1 nm, 7.7, respectively. Although morphology was very different from that pure g-C3N4, their average sizes similar. Eg (3.195 eV) sligh...

Expanding the optical absorption range of photocatalysts is still a key endeavor in graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) studies. Here, we report on novel thiophene group extending property, which assigned to n-π* electronic transitions involving two lone pairs sulfur (TLPS). The as-prepared samples, denoted as CN-ThAx (where x indicates amount ThA added, mg), showed an additional above 500 nm com...

Durable and inexpensive graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) demonstrates great potential for achieving efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reduction (HER). To further improve its activity, g-C3N4 was subjected to atomic-level structural engineering by doping with transition metals (M = Fe, Co, or Ni), which simultaneously induced the formation of metal–N active sites in framework modulate...
