Facile fabrication of novel Ba-doped g-C3N4 photocatalyst with remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity towards tetracycline elimination under visible-light irradiation

Fly ash-, foundry sand-, clay-, and pumice-based metal oxide nanocomposites as green photocatalysts

“…Several advantages of photocatalysis can be listed as follows: (i) complete mineralization of recalcitrant pollutants into harmless constituents, (ii) no secondary pollution, (iii) low cost, and (iv) easy operation. [15][16][17][18] In photocatalysis process, metal oxide semiconductors are the frontliners in photodegradation of organic compounds thanks to their exceptional physicochemical properties. [19][20][21][22][23] From the perspective of practical applications, the stability and reusability of photocatalysts is a key factor affecting the scale-up of the whole process.…”

Photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline by Phosphorus-doped carbon nitride tube combined with peroxydisulfate under visible light irradiation

“…In addition, the functional groups of all samples in Figure 1(b) indicated no apparent difference between the FTIR spectrum of g-CN and PCN-X. The dense absorption bands in the range of 1,200-1,700 cm À1 were associated with the stretching vibration of conjugated CN heterocycles in the g-CN frame (Bui et al 2020). The strong characteristic signal near 810 cm À1 corresponds to the stretching or bending vibration of tri-s-triazine units, which is the basic structural unit of g-CN (Zeng et al 2018).…”

Element-doped graphitic carbon nitride: confirmation of doped elements and applications

“…The PL spectra of pristine g-CN and Ba-doped g-CN were obtained in Fig. 10(c): 147 the lower intensity of a series of Ba-doped g-CN samples directly points out that the doping of Ba reduced the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. In addition, to cope with the increasing requirements of environmental issues, composites of element-doped g-CN and nanostructure are becoming a hotspot most recently.…”
