Ag2CO3 nanoparticles decorated g-C3N4 as a high-efficiency catalyst for photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants

Cyclodextrin functionalization enhancement in a CA-β-CD/g-C3N4/Ag2CO3 Z-type heterojunction towards efficient photodegradation of organic pollutants

“…19 In the figure, the diffraction peaks (18.5°, 20.5°, 32.6°, 33.6°, 37.0°, 39.5°, 41.7°, 44.3°, 47.0°, 51.4°, 54.6°, 56.0°, and 57.9°) belong to the planes that are typical for monoclinic Ag 2 CO 3 (PDF card (JCPDS 26-0339)). 20 In addition, the diffraction peak of g-C 3 N 4 for the three kinds of composite photocatalysts was displayed at 27.7°. All the above results indicated that no other impurities were generated during the preparation of the composite materials.…”

Engineering S-scheme Ag2CO3/g-c3N4 heterojunctions sonochemically to eradicate Rhodamine B dye under solar irradiation

“…The remarkable reactivity of the nanocomposite was ascribed to the influence of Ag 2 CO 3 in enhancing the electron–hole transportation and separation. 48 Yun Feng et al prepared Ag 2 CO 3 /g-C 3 N 4 containing 30% Ag 2 CO 3 by a precipitation method for the removal of methyl orange and methylene blue. The exceptional reactivity is attributed to the role of Ag 2 CO 3 in enhancing the efficiency of charge carrier separation.…”

“…[42][43][44] Recent research studies have focused on coupling Ag 2 CO 3 with g-C 3 N 4 to generate a successful heterojunction for removing organic containments from wastewater. [45][46][47][48][49][50][51] Konglin et al reported the successful photodegradation of Rhodamine B and methylene blue dyes over g-C 3 N 4 /Ag 2 CO 3 containing 3.5 wt% g-C 3 N 4 , which was ascribed to the predominant role of g-C 3 N 4 in limiting the electron-hole recombination. 45 Lei et al synthesised g-C 3 N 4 /Ag 2 CO 3 containing 25 wt% g-C 3 N 4 via a sonochemical route for destructing RhB dye under a 300 W xenon lamp, and the experimental results manifested that g-C 3 N 4 increases the life time for charge carriers, which is responsible for the degradation process.…”
