Inside-and-out modification of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalysts via defect engineering for energy and environmental science

Yuhan Li et al.

Summary: g-C3N4 is an attractive photocatalyst due to its visible-light response, abundance, stability and high yield. However, its limitation lies in the small electron mean free path and high symmetry, which hinder the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. Defect engineering on g-C3N4 can enhance the migration of photogenerated electrons through charge redistribution, surface microstructure changes, and creation of new electron excitation orbital direction.

Polymeric carbon nitride-based photocatalysts for the removal of nitrogen oxides: a review

Zhenyu Wang et al.

Summary: Air pollution caused by particulate matter and ozone in Chinese megacities is a major health concern, partially due to the emissions of nitrogen oxides. Therefore, advanced methods, such as photocalysis using polymeric carbon nitride, are needed for nitrogen oxide removal. However, this process is limited by low visible-light absorption, specific surface area, carrier recombination, and conversion pathways. In this review, catalysts made of polymeric carbon nitride for the removal of nitrogen oxides are discussed, focusing on improving light absorption, increasing surface area, inhibiting carrier recombination, regulating the reaction process, outdoor applications, and reducing nitrogen oxides to dinitrogen.

Single-atom dispersed Zn-N3 active sites bridging the interlayer of g-C3N4 to tune NO oxidation pathway for the inhibition of toxic by-product generation

Ruiyang Zhang et al.

Summary: By introducing single Zn atoms into g-C3N4, visible light absorption and electron-hole pairs' separation are enhanced, leading to improved photocatalytic activity. The introduction of single Zn atom promotes the reaction between O2 and NO, forming the Zn-O2-NO structure, resulting in increased NO oxidation but reduced toxic NO2 generation. This study presents a novel approach for fabricating single-atom catalysts for highly effective environmental remediation and secondary pollution control.

Construction of SnO2/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst with enhanced interfacial charge separation and high efficiency for hydrogen production and Rhodamine B degradation

Mohammed Ismael et al.

Summary: SnO2/g-C3N4 heterostructure composites exhibit significantly improved photocatalytic activity compared to individual SnO2 and g-C3N4 materials. The composites are characterized by the distribution of SnO2 nanoparticles on the surface of g-C3N4 sheets, forming a heterojunction structure. The UV-Vis experiments show a reduced optical band gap energy. The photoelectrochemical tests demonstrate enhanced charge separation between electrons and holes, resulting in improved photoactivity. The optimal SnO2 content is determined to be 20%, showing 5 and 8 times higher photocatalytic activity than pure SnO2 for degradation of Rhodamine B and hydrogen production, respectively.

Direct fabrication of graphitic carbon nitride-wrapped titanate nanotube arrays toward photoelectrochemical water oxidation in neutral medium

Tho Truong Nguyen et al.

Summary: A graphitic carbon nitride-wrapped titanate nanotube array (gC(3)N(4)-wrapped TNA) heterojunction photoelectrode was successfully fabricated via a chemical vapor deposition-like process, showing significant enhancement in current density and photo-response under visible light. The enhanced performance can be attributed to the effective charge separation at the gC(3)N(4)/TNA interfaces, leading to accelerated water splitting and oxygen generation. Additionally, the gC(3)N(4)-wrapped TNA photoelectrodes are developed under neutral conditions, making them highly applicable for practical devices.

Photo-Switchable Oxygen Vacancy as the Dynamic Active Site in the Photocatalytic NO Oxidation Reaction

Qin Ren et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the use of in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology to investigate the dynamic evolution of active sites in a BiOCl catalyst during gas-solid photocatalytic reactions. The formation and recovery of photoexcited oxygen vacancies (PE-OVs) are experimentally verified, and these vacancies are identified as photoswitchable OVs that can activate O2 molecules. In situ FT-IR spectra reveal that the dynamic PE-OVs facilitate the conversion of reaction intermediates into the final product. This work challenges the conventional view of static OVs as active sites and introduces the concept of dynamic defects as real active sites for catalysis reactions.
