Facile synthesis of g-C3N4/ZnO composite with enhanced visible light photooxidation and photoreduction properties

Melamine modified P25 with heating method and enhanced the photocatalytic activity on degradation of ciprofloxacin

“…For instance, SiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 [17], Ag-AgBr/g-C 3 N 4 [18], g-C 3 N 4 /BiOCl [19,20], g-C 3 N 4 /ZnO [21], A g-C 3 N 4 -CdS [22], g-C 3 N 4 -TiO 2 [23][24][25], g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 2 WO 6 [26], g-C 3 N 4 -Co 3 O 4 [27], g-C 3 N 4 -Ag 3 PO 4 [28], N TiO 2 /g C 3 N 4 [29], Al 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 [30], et al All these researches of g-C 3 N 4 sensitive or modified or composited or heterojunction could give the positive results in photocatalysis, it was also identified that the g-C 3 N 4 as the organic photocatalytic material could effectively enhance the photocatalytic activity of photocatalysts. However, among the compounded types, maybe due to the better properties of TiO 2 , the g-C 3 N 4 -TiO 2 was widely investigated.…”

“…The transfer of photoelectrons and photoholes is described by Figure 9. And the photocatalytic degradation process may be followed the reactions of (2) to (10) [12,21]. …”

Photocatalytic performances of g-C3N4 based catalysts for RhB degradation: Effect of preparation conditions

“…For example, the development of synthesis route by using different precursors such as dicyandiamide [24], guanidine hydrochloride (GndCl) [25], and urea [26]; the improvement of catalytic properties by fabricating with specifically textural structure [27][28][29], or by hybridizing with other semiconductors such as TiO 2 [30][31][32][33][34], ZnO [35,36] and Bi 2 O 3 [37,38] and others [39][40][41][42][43]. Also, it is found that the thermal condensation of g-C 3 N 4 can be done either in air or N 2 atmosphere, with similar textural structure but varied surface properties [44].…”

Synthesis of Phase Pure Hexagonal YFeO3 Perovskite as Efficient Visible Light Active Photocatalyst

“…Reactive oxygen species (e.g., •OH − , •O2 − ) are strong oxidizing agents and play a vital role in the photo-assisted degradation of organic contaminants [43,44]. For the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B with YFeO3 under visible light, Chen et al identified photo-generated holes and hydroxyl radicals as the main active species [15].…”
