This study compared the photocatalytic efficiency of metal-doped ZnO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites against MB dye. The materials were synthesized using the chemical co-precipitation method and characterized using critical analytical techniques. TEM results showed distinctive heterojunctions between g-C3N4 and metal-doped ZnO. The synthesized nanocomposites exhibited increased photocatalytic activity, possibly due to the development of exemplary interfaces between ZnO, g-C3N4 and metal dopants.
This study investigated the comparative photocatalytic efficiency of metal (Fe, Co, Ni, Mn and Cr)-doped ZnO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites against MB dye. The materials were synthesised via the chemical co-precipitation method and characterised by critical analytical techniques. TEM results revealed the distinctive heterojunctions developed between g-C3N4 and metal-doped ZnO. Optical and photoelectrochemical analysis of the synthesised gC(3)N(4)/metal-doped ZnO exhibited a redshift in light absorption and decay in electron-hole pairs recombination rate, respectively. The increase in the photocatalytic activity of the synthesised nanocomposites might be attributed to the development of exemplary interfaces between ZnO, g-C3N4 and metal dopants. In particular, gC(3)N(4)/Mn-doped ZnO nanocomposites (MnGZ NCs) exhibited maximum photocatalytic degradation of MB (100%) after 60 min of sunlight irradiations. The MnGZ NCs showed good photocatalytic stability even after 12 consecutive cycles. The photoluminescence and reactive species scavenger test results suggest a potential MB degradation mechanism over the MnGZ NCs.
