New and stable g-C3N4/HAp composites as highly efficient photocatalysts for tetracycline fast degradation

In situ construction of Co/N/C-based heterojunction on biomass-derived hierarchical porous carbon with stable active sites using a Co-N protective strategy for high-efficiency ORR, OER and HER trifunctional electrocatalysts

“…On the other hand, no obvious diffraction peaks of Co 2 O 3 are observed for Co 2 N 0.67 -BHPC, verifying that this protection strategy (that enables Co-N fixed at the center of the CoTPP macrocycle hard to be replaced by Co-O under the protection of H 2 TPP) is available. In addition, the phase of C 3 N 4 (PDF#50-1512) are also detected in both of as-obtained materials [21].…”

“…HRTEM images (Fig. 2b and c) of Co 2 N 0.67 -BHPC found that there are three well-defined crystalline lattice fringes, which possess the dspacing of 0.209, 0.283 and 0.341 nm, corresponding to the (101) plane of Co 2 N 0.67 [20], (200) plane of C 3 N 4 [21], and (002) plane of graphitic carbon (GC) [22], respectively. These results mean the successful embedding of Co, N-containing active species in graphitic carbon matrix, developing of heterostructure and ultimately as active centers to enhance the catalytic performance.…”

Facile synthesis of chitosan membranes for visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride

“…[1][2][3][4] Among the currently developed wastewater treatment strategies, photocatalysis especially visible-light driven photocatalysis as one of the advanced oxidation processes (AOP) has attracted widespread attention, [5][6][7] and also showed some intrinsic superiorities compared with the conventionally used strategies for wastewater treatment such as biological treatment, adsorption, coagulation, sedimentation, and electrochemical processes. 8,9 Making use of inexhaustible solar energy as an excitation resource and deep mineralization of target pollutants made visible-light driven photocatalysis a green and environment-friendly way for pollutant removal. Meanwhile, it also exhibited a moderate reaction condition.…”

Preparation of a g-C3N4/UiO-66-NH2/CdS Photocatalyst with Enhanced Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity for Tetracycline Degradation

“…Hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH), superoxide radicals (⋅O 2− ), and holes (h + ) are critical factors in photocatalytic oxidation [ 44 ]. Thus, to better understand the role of different free radicals in the degradation of TC, radical capture experiments were carried out.…”
