“…Nanocomposites semiconductors have recently attracted considerable attention due to their numerous applications such as photodegradation of wastewater, water splitting, solar cells and supercapacitors [8,9,10,11].The advantages of those nanocomposites are the efficient charge carriers' separation and the enhanced sun-light absorption [12,13].…”

To promote the photogeneration of charge–carriers separation, the ZnO/MnO2 nanocomposites have been efficiently synthesized via simple hydrothermal process and tested as photocatalyst for dye degradation. The samples of ZnO, MnO2, and ZnO/MnO2 nanocomposites have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectra (PL). The photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/MnO2 prepared using 10 mg is much higher than that of ZnO or MnO2 as demonstrated by optical and photoluminescence measurement. The improvement of Methyl Orange (MO) photodegradation compared with pure ZnO and MnO2 is originated from the high surface area, the efficient sun light absorption and the excellent charge carrier’s separation of the ZnO/MnO2 photocatalyst. The DFT simulations of ZnO and MnO2 have determined the electronic origin of structures properties and demonstrate that photocatalytic activity is attributed to the electrons transition between valence and conduction bands of materials.

“…[19][20][21][22] Various studies have proposed g-C 3 N 4 with two-dimensional planar architecture and a matching energy band structure the as an excellent material for improving the photoactivity of TiO 2. [13,[23][24][25][26] For instance, Yan et al reported that the TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterostructure significantly increased the Z-scheme overall water splitting under visible light. [27] Bi et al organized g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 nanotube arrays in a Z-scheme heterojunction.…”

Owing to the great harm that water pollution has caused to the natural environment, the effective treatment of sewage is crucial. In this study, Sm-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composites were synthesized for the degradation of MB and TC pollutants. The experimental results showed that up to 91.8% and 93.3% of MB and TC pollutants were removed within 120 min of illumination, which were 2.8 and 2.3 times greater than that of pure TiO 2 , respectively, showing the good optical properties of the composites. Due to the coupling between Sm-TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 , the separation of photogenerated electron holes is accelerated, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the composites. This not only enabled the strong redox ability of TiO 2 to be retained, but also effectively promoted electron migration, thus improving the photocatalytic activity of the composites.
