A novel g-C₃N₄ nanosheet/Ag₃PO₄/α-Bi₂O₃ ternary dual Z-scheme heterojunction with increased light absorption and expanded specific surface area for efficient photocatalytic removal of TC

Abstract

A novel ternary dual Z-scheme photocatalyst g-C3N4 nanosheet/Ag3PO4/α-Bi2O3 was designed via an in situ deposition and hydrothermal–calcination method with an excellent photocatalytic performance toward TC degradation.

In situ fabrication of a novel CdS/ZnIn2S4/g-C3N4 ternary heterojunction with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance

“…Nowadays, photocatalysis, as a green technology, has been widely accepted as a potential alternative method for energy conversion and environmental governance due to its high efficiency and environmentally friendliness. [7][8][9] Unfortunately, insufficient utilization of visible light restricts the practical application of conventional photocatalysts such as TiO 2 and ZnO. 10,11 Thus, the development of efficient visiblelight-responsive photocatalysts is still greatly desired.…”
