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.

Carbon vacancies in porous g-C3N4 nanosheets induced robust H2O2 production for highly efficient photocatalysis-self-Fenton system for metronidazole degradation

Rujin Li et al.

Summary: In this paper, porous g-C3N4 nanosheets with carbon vacancies (Cv-PCNNS) were developed for efficient metronidazole degradation via the photocatalysis-self-Fenton system. The carbon vacancies in the Cv-PCNNS accelerated photo-induced charge separation and improved O2 activation. The Cv-PCNNS also provided H for photocatalytic O2 reduction to H2O2 and captured H from the surroundings to restore their original appearance. The introduction of carbon vacancies increased the H2O2 production rate and enhanced the metronidazole degradation efficiency.

Unraveling the dual defect sites in graphite carbon nitride for ultra-high photocatalytic H2O2 evolution

Xu Zhang et al.

Summary: Defect engineering modified graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with dual defect sites, -C N groups and N vacancies, has been found to significantly enhance the photocatalytic production of H2O2. The dual defect sites form an electron-rich structure and lead to a more localized charge density distribution, which improves light absorption, carrier separation, selectivity, and activity of H2O2 generation. The N vacancies effectively adsorb and activate O-2, while the -C N groups facilitate the adsorption of H+, synergistically promoting H2O2 generation. The modified g-C3N4 achieved a high H2O2 generation rate and apparent quantum efficiency, surpassing previously reported g-C3N4-based photocatalysts.

Nitrogen-defect induced trap states steering electron-hole migration in graphite carbon nitride

Wenlu Li et al.

Summary: Defect structures of semiconductors play a crucial role in regulating trap states, excitons, and active charge carriers in artificial photosynthesis systems. By preparing a g-C3N4 system with abundant nitrogen defects, researchers discovered a 20-fold increase in H-2 evolution efficiency under visible light irradiation compared to bulk g-C3N4. Further investigation using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy revealed that shallow trap states induced by N defects can capture photogenerated electrons, inhibiting deep trapping and direct recombination of photogenerated charges. These findings provide new insights for manipulating trap state depth and photocatalytic processes through N defects, leading to high photocatalytic performance.

Thiadiazole-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks with a Donor-Acceptor Structure: Modulating Intermolecular Charge Transfer for Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of Typical Emerging Contaminants

Yanghui Hou et al.

Summary: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have great potential as novel metal-free photocatalysts for decontaminating pollutants in water. This study demonstrates that intramolecular charge transfer within COFs can be modulated by constructing a donor-acceptor (D-A) structure, leading to improved photocatalytic performance. By integrating electron donor and acceptor units, two COFs (COF-TD1 and COF-TD2) were fabricated as visible-light-driven photocatalysts for degrading paracetamol. COF-TD1 exhibited superior photodegradation performance due to efficient electron-hole separation, and it could effectively degrade paracetamol even in complex water matrices. COF-TD1 also showed effective degradation of other emerging contaminants. The study provides an effective strategy for designing excellent COF-based photocatalysts.

g-C3N4-Based 2D/2D Composite Heterojunction Photocatalyst

Bicheng Zhu et al.

Summary: Using semiconductor photocatalysis to convert solar energy into chemical energy is a viable strategy for addressing the energy and environmental crisis. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a popular 2D photocatalyst with visible light response, low cost, and high stability, but single g-C3N4 photocatalyst has poor performance due to fast recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Hybridizing g-C3N4 with other 2D materials to construct 2D/2D heterojunction photocatalysts improves this limitation by offering large contact area and plentiful channels for the migration and separation of photogenerated charge carriers, inheriting the strengths of 2D structure such as high specific surface area and abundant active sites.
