Efficient charge separation and sufficiently exposed active sites are important for light-driving Fenton catalysts. 0D/2D hybrids, especially quantum dots (QDs)/nanosheets (NSs), offer a better opportunity for improving photo-Fenton activity due to their high charge mobility and more catalytic sites, which is highly desirable but remains a great challenge. Herein, a 0D hematite quantum dots/2D ultrathin g-C3N4 nanosheets hybrid (Fe2O3 QDs/g-C3N4 NS) is developed via a facile chemical reaction and subsequent low-temperature calcination. As expected, the specially designed 0D/2D structure shows remarkable catalytic performance toward the removal of p-nitrophenol. By virtue of large surface area, adequate active sites, and strong interfacial coupling, the 0D Fe2O3 QDs/2D g-C3N4 nanosheets establish efficient charge transport paths by local in-plane carbon species, expediting the separation and transfer of electron/hole pairs. Simultaneously, highly efficient charge mobility can lead to continuous and fast Fe(III)/Fe(II) conversion, promoting a cooperative effect between the photocatalysis and chemical activation of H2O2. The developed carbon-intercalated 0D/2D hybrid provides a new insight in developing heterogeneous catalysis for a large variety of photoelectronic applications, not limited in photo-Fenton catalysis.
