A facile template-free method was proposed to fabricate a novel network structured mesoporous g-C3N4/TiO2 nano-heterojunction composite via protonation of base functionalities during the in situ growth of TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of g-C3N4 under hydrothermal conditions.
Protonation pretreatment promotes the formation of a uniform g-C3N4/AgBr nanocomposite, thereby efficiently enhancing the photocatalytic activity through the Z-scheme charge transfer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
