Construction of three-dimensional ternary reduced graphene oxide-g-C3N4 nanosheets-AgBr aerogel for enhanced degradation of pollution under visible light

Nano Ag/AgBr/g-C3N4 catalyzed the production of hydrogen and reduction of d-glucose to sorbitol under visible light irradiation

“…Therefore, Ag/AgBr/g-C 3 N 4 may be a promising composite photocatalyst with high activity and stability in consideration of the synergetic effect of the AgBr/g-C 3 N 4 interface, metallic Ag and reactive species. 47 In conclusion, the polymeric compound g-C 3 N 4 was composed of graphitic planes that were constructed from tris-triazine units; when Ag/AgBr particles were loaded on the g-C 3 N 4 surface, the Ag/AgBr/g-C 3 N 4 interface was formed, which could effectively suppress photogenerated charge recombination, and e À generated from g-C 3 N 4 could be efficiently transferred to Ag/AgBr NPs. The synergistic effects of Ag/AgBr and g-C 3 N 4 coupling enhanced electron transfer between the interfaces of Ag/AgBr and g-C 3 N 4 , thereby enhancing the photocatalytic performance of the Ag/AgBr/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalysts.…”

“…At the same time, the above analysis and the characteristic peaks of AgBr and g-C 3 N 4 appeared in the spectrum of Ag/AgBr/g-C 3 N 4 , which comprehensively proved the successful synthesis of the nanocomposites. 47 The optical properties of Ag/AgBr/g-C 3 N 4 nanocomposites were determined by UV-Vis absorption spectra and can be seen in Fig. 5.…”
