One-step synthesis of a heterogeneous catalyst: Cu+-decorated triazine-based g-C3N4 nanosheet formation and catalytic mechanism

Nanoarchitectonics of g-C3N4 Nanosheets with a AuCu Enhancement Effect for Superior Photo- and Electrochemical Activity

“…Therefore, the valence state was deemed to be Cu + . 33,34 The Au 4f spectrum in Figure 4e revealed two significant characteristic peaks at 85.2 and 89.0 eV, which were attributed to Au 4f 7/2 and Au 4f 5/2 orbitals, respectively. 35 The peaks had a shift toward high binding energy in comparison with the Au 0 state, 36 which indicated the cationic nature of the Au 1+ state in comparing with other literature.…”

Photocatalysis enhancement and Cl− boosting mechanisms of peracetic acid-based advanced oxidation processes for antibiotic removal by using HOF-Cu-g-C3N4

“…In the triazinyl g-CN, probably Cu + is surrounded by triangular holes formed by three C 3 N 3 rings and forms a coordinate covalent bond with the nitrogen atom on the simple aromatic ring. 18…”

Insights into the active nickel centers embedded in graphitic carbon nitride for the oxygen evolution reaction

“…The first peak is characteristic of the interlayer stacking of the conjugated aromatic systems and corresponds to an interlayer distance of 0.33 nm, which is in agreement with the values reported in the literature for this kind of material. 37,46,47 The second peak corresponds to an intralayer distance of 0.71 nm, which is associated with the in-plane distance between repeated units. Based on this last peak, some considerations can be made on the details of the CN structure.…”
