Anchoring spinel NiCr2O4 nanoparticles on tubular g-C3N4: Efficacious p-n heterojunction photocatalysts for removal of tetracycline hydrochloride under visible light

Carbon nitride- and graphene-based materials for the photocatalytic degradation of emerging water pollutants

“…Due to its suitable band position, GCN can be combined with various photocatalyst materials to construct heterojunctions, such as Z-scheme heterojunction, promoting electronhole separation. 83 Xing et al developed a direct Z-scheme GCN/ MoS 2 heterojunction by heating MoS 2 nanosheets with GCN precursors and NH 4 Cl at 550 1C for 4 h under an Ar atmosphere, which was denoted as MCN sample. 84 The authors suggested that the Mo-N bond formation is the main reason for efficient photogenerated charge carrier transfer.…”

Proceeding of catalytic water splitting on Cu/Ce@g-C3N4 photocatalysts: an exceptional approach for sunlight-driven hydrogen generation

“…22 Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has garnered significant attention due to its appealing characteristics, which include a moderate band gap, high thermal stability and a large surface area. 23,24 Graphitic carbon nitride photocatalysts can work efficiently under sunlight. Modifications in g-C 3 N 4 can lead to its practical application on a larger scale.…”

A new Ag‐based photocatalyst for efficient degradation of antibiotic nitrofurantoin

“…In the heterogeneous photocatalyst, the semiconductor material shows better catalytic ability. [15][16][17] In recent years, transition metal ion-based coordination polymers (CPs) have been widely used in adsorption, catalysis, chemical sensing, and magnetic fields due to their structural diversity [18][19][20][21][22][23] and are considered as ideal photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants. [24][25][26][27] In addition, the ordered structure of CPs can be reasonably regulated by changing the metal center and modifying the organic linkers with different functional groups.…”

“…Studies have shown that heterogeneous photocatalysts are more common than homogeneous catalysts in various fields, are less costly to prepare, and can be simply isolated for reuse. In the heterogeneous photocatalyst, the semiconductor material shows better catalytic ability 15–17 …”
