Efficient Visible-Light-Driven Tetracycline Degradation and Cr(VI) Reduction over a LaNi1-XFeXO3 (0 < X < 1)/g-C3N4 Type-II Heterojunction Photocatalyst

Jinyu Bao et al.

Summary: A series of LaNi1-xFexO3/g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalysts were prepared by a simple wet chemical method and their structural, morphological, optical, electrochemical properties, as well as their photocatalytic degradation performance for tetracycline and Cr(VI), were investigated. The LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance due to the synergy of doping and constructing heterojunctions. Doping of Fe ions increased the concentration of oxygen vacancies, favoring the formation of electron traps, while the type-II heterojunction formed between LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3 and g-C3N4 effectively enhanced the separation and transfer of photoinduced carriers, thereby promoting photocatalytic activity. The LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3/g-C3N4 photocatalyst showed long-term stability after three cycles of use, and a photocatalytic mechanism was proposed.

Morphology-effects of four different dimensional graphitic carbon nitrides on photocatalytic performance of dye degradation, water oxidation and splitting

Zhentao Wang et al.

Summary: Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has attracted increasing attention as a metal-free photocatalyst in visible-light-driven photocatalysis due to its band gap at 2.70 eV, which allows absorption in the visible range, and its unique structure leading to excellent photocatalytic performance. The micro network structure and macro material morphology of g-C3N4 both play important roles in its photocatalytic activity. Four different g-C3N4 morphologies, including bulky, spherical, flaky, and tubular, were prepared using hydrothermal, sol-vothermal, and thermal polymerization methods to compare their photocatalytic activity. The results showed that flaky g-C3N4 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity for organic dye degradation and outperformed the other morphologies in photocatalytic oxygen reduction and water splitting for hydrogen evolution.

High-efficiency of novel hierarchical 3D macroporous g-C3N4 material on solar-driven photocatalytic water-splitting for hydrogen evolution

Waheed Iqbal et al.

Summary: The use of multi-pore nanostructured g-C3N4 photocatalysts can effectively separate photogenerated charge carriers and enhance visible light photocatalytic performance. In this study, a novel technique based on P407 bubble clusters templating and fixation by freezing was introduced to fabricate 3D opened-up macroporous g-C3N4 nanostructures for photocatalytic H2 evolution. The resulting hierarchical nanostructures provide more active sites and promote the creation of heterogeneous catalytic interfaces, leading to a remarkable visible light-induced H2 evolution rate.

2D/2D Z-scheme photocatalyst of g-C3N4 and plasmonic Bi metal deposited Bi2WO6: Enhanced separation and migration of photoinduced charges

Wei Quan et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel photocatalyst g-C3N4/Bi@Bi2WO6 composite was prepared by a simple wet chemical method, showing excellent photocatalytic performance. The separation pathway of photoinduced charges through the interface was investigated, and it was confirmed that a Z-scheme charge transfer route was followed. The optimized composite photocatalyst exhibited a photocatalytic hydrogen production rate 2.29 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4, and the photocatalytic degradation rates of RhB and TC were 7.55 times and 1.92 times that of pure Bi2WO6, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic performances were attributed to the synergistic effect of the 2D/2D coupling interface and the deposited metal Bi, which facilitated efficient charge separation, fast charge migration, and provided a large reaction surface area. Additionally, the surface plasmon resonance effect of metal Bi enhanced visible light absorption and broadened the light absorption range to the full spectrum. This study provides a new idea for the design of high-performance Z-scheme photocatalysts for highly efficient utilization of solar energy.

Cu-doped In2S3 hierarchical structures for photocatalytic organic dye degradation under visible light irradiation

Yuanyuan Wang et al.

Summary: In2S3 materials doped with different concentrations of copper ions (Cu-In2S3) were synthesized and showed improved response to visible light, carrier separation, and adsorption for rhodamine B. Cu-doping enhanced the photocatalytic activity of In2S3 for dye removal, with 0.3% Cu2+-doped In2S3 exhibiting the highest activity and stability. Superoxide radicals were identified as the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B over 0.3% Cu-In2S3. This study provides valuable insights for the construction of In2S3-based photocatalytic materials.
