Additional O doping significantly improved the catalytic performance of Mn/O co-doped g-C3N4 for activating periodate and degrading organic pollutants

Ultrathin Sulfur‐Doped g‐C3N4 Nanosheets Controlled by Steam Activation for Enhanced Visible‐Light Photocatalytic Performance

“…In particular, the photocatalytic degradation technology is often used in the treatment of polluted wastewater based on using solar power to activate the photocatalyst, produce reactive oxygen species, change the internal structure of pollutants, and ultimately transform organic pollutants into CO 2 , H 2 O, or other green small molecules that can be naturally degraded. Compared with conventional methods for treating water pollution, the photocatalytic degradation technology exhibits notable advantages, including high efficiency, negligible production of pollution, excellent repeatability, and a straightforward treatment process [9–10] …”

“…Compared with conventional methods for treating water pollution, the photocatalytic degradation technology exhibits notable advantages, including high efficiency, negligible production of pollution, excellent repeatability, and a straightforward treatment process. [9][10] The crux of the photocatalysis technology is the development of high-performance photocatalysts. At present, the most commonly used photocatalyst semiconductors are metal oxides [11][12][13] and sulfides; [14] however, these materials can only absorb ultraviolet light in sunlight, causing low efficiency in the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.…”
