Photodegradation of bisphenol A by highly stable palladium-doped mesoporous graphite carbon nitride (Pd/mpg-C3N4) under simulated solar light irradiation

Can environmental pharmaceuticals be photocatalytically degraded and completely mineralized in water using g-C3N4/TiO2 under visible light irradiation?—Implications of persistent toxic intermediates

“…These RSs directly oxidized and decomposed acyclovir, while • OH only played a minor role in this visible light driven system [49,50]. The finding that h + and O 2 • − act as the main RSs in the photocatalytic degradation of organics generally aligns with other research that has used g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalysts [51,52]; however, • OH was found to be dominantly responsible for acyclovir degradation in the UV/TiO 2 system in our previous work [12]. These different results imply that the presence of g-C 3 N 4 with a TiO 2 photocatalyst can significantly affect the physic-chemical properties of hybrid photocatalysts and influence main RSs in the photocatalytic organic treatment process.…”

Green Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles supported on graphitic carbon nitride

“…2a shows the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of g-C 3 N 4 and the as-prepared Pd 0.10 /g-C 3 N 4 nanocomposite, respectively. The most intense peak at 27.40° of g-C 3 N 4 may be assigned to the (002) plane of graphitic stacking g-C 3 N 4 , and the calculated interplanar distance of aromatic units (d = 0.33 nm) is close to that of the crystalline g-C 3 N 4 (d = 0.34 nm) [23,[33][34][35]. The other characteristic peak at 13.00° of g-C 3 N 4 , corresponding to interplanar distance of 0.68 nm, can be indexed as (100), which belongs to an in-plane structural packing motif between nitride pores [36].…”

Graphene oxide amplified electrochemiluminescence of graphitic carbon nitride and its application in ultrasensitive sensing for Cu2+

“…16 However, only a few reaserches have been carried out on its application in optical detection of envinonmental metal ions, 17,18 furthermore, as regards the application of g-C 3 N 4 in ECL detection of envinonmental metal ions (especially Cu 2+ ), the relative paper has been scarcely reported untill now, which is limited by the low ECL signal of g-C 3 N 4 . Though some oxidising coreactants (e.g.…”
