Simultaneous hydrogen production with the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by a noble-metal-free photocatalyst VC/CdS nanowires

In situ construction of a C3N5 nanosheet/Bi2WO6 nanodot S-scheme heterojunction with enhanced structural defects for the efficient photocatalytic removal of tetracycline and Cr(vi)

“…5 In view of the poor optical response and severe recombination of photogenerated charge carriers of TiO 2 , developing new photocatalysts with visible-light response, high-efficiency separation and transfer of photo-generated carriers has become a hot topic in the photocatalytic field. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Very recently, a high N ratio graphite carbon nitride material C 3 N 5 as a newly developed visible-light-driven (VLD) n-type inorganic photocatalyst has shown promising potential in photocatalytic water splitting, nitric oxide elimination and contaminant degradation by virtue of its better visible-light absorption capacity (E g = ∼2.2 eV) and greater negative potential of the conduction band (CB) as compared with the famous g-C 3 N 4 . [18][19][20] For instance, Vinu et al confirmed the advantage of mesoporous C 3 N 5 over C 3 N 4 in photocatalytic H 2 evolution for the first time in 2017.…”

Effective modification of photocatalytic and piezocatalytic performances for poly(heptazine imide) by carbon dots decoration

“…Constructing composites has been widely reported to be effective in modifying photocatalytic performances through utilizing the advantages as well as creating the synergistic effect of the composing materials. 30–32 In this aspect, introducing new materials without destroying the structure of PHI while reinforcing the advantages of PHI is necessary. Among various materials, carbon materials with sp 2 configuration (such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerene, carbon dots, etc .)…”
