“…Some inherent characteristics of g-CN, especially low charge separation, poor quantum efficiency, and quick recombination rate of the photogenerated e − –h + pairs, decrease its visible-light-responsive photocatalytic efficiency. 43,44 To boost the photocatalytic activity of g-CN, some attempts have been focused such as by elemental doping, 45–47 molecular doping, 48 and coupling with other semiconductors, including metal oxides, 49–51 metal sulfides, 52,53 and others. 54,55 It was reported that ZCN composites showed excellent photocatalytic activity due to the appropriate band gap alignment of g-C 3 N 4 and ZnO.…”
