Step-scheme heterojunction g-C3N4/TiO2 for efficient photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride under UV light

Shangyuan Ni et al.

Summary: Construction of heterojunction between semiconductors is an effective strategy to enhance the photocatalytic capability. In this study, a porous g-C3N4/TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared, consisting of two-dimensional nanosheet g-C3N4 and nanoparticle TiO2. The heterojunction enhanced UV light absorption and inhibited recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The optimal 4% g-C3N4/TiO2 exhibited a prominent degradation efficiency in the photocatalytic performance of tetracycline hydrochloride. The recycling of the heterojunction photocatalyst remained stable and reusable, with the main active species being O(2-), h(+), and OH. The formation of an internal electric field on the heterojunction interface accelerated the migration of photogenerated carriers. This study is of great importance for the design of other S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts to meet different environmental demands.
