3D chrysanthemum-like g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ as an efficient visible-light-driven Z-scheme hybrid photocatalyst for tetracycline degradation

Abstract

Utilization of solar-driven semiconductor as photocatalyst to degrade antibiotic pollutant is a feasible and environmentally friendly technology. In this paper, 3D chrysanthemum-like g-C3N4/TiO2 as visible-light driven hybrid photocatalyst with Z-scheme...

Constructing hollow core–shell Z-scheme heterojunction CdS@CoTiO3 nanorods for enhancing the photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-DCP and TC

“…4,5 In particular, by forming a Z-scheme heterojunction, a wide light-absorption range and sufficient redox capacity can be simultaneously achieved, ascribed to the Z-scheme charge-transfer path with the assistance of the builtin electric field in the heterojunction region, which can thus enhance the photocatalytic performance. [6][7][8][9] Recently, a number of Z-scheme heterojunctions such as g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 , 10 CdIn 2 S 4 / ZnS, 11 CoSx/CdS, 12 and BiOCl/Bi 2 S 3 13 have been constructed…”

Additionally, assembling low-dimensional nanoscale building blocks to form hierarchical hollow configurations is reported as another commendable method for improving the photocatalytic performance.…”
