Graphitic carbon nitride–BiVO₄heterojunctions: simple hydrothermal synthesis and high photocatalytic performances

Synthesis of g-C3N4/Ag3VO4 composites with enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation

“…Thus novel photocatalysts should be developed to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional photocatalysts. Photocatalysts based on semiconductor materials can produce photoproduction electron which has strong reducibility and hole with strong oxidizability under the irradiation of visible light, which contribute to the conversion of organic pollutants and inorganic pollutants into harmless substance [5,6]. Up to now, numerous efforts have been strived to develop efficient photocatalysts, such as Ag 3 PO 4 [14,15], g-C 3 N 4 [16], BiFeO 3 [17], BiVO 4 [18], and BiOI [19].…”

“…With rapid development of modern industry, the wastewater treatment of textile, leather and papermaking industrial sector has become the headstream remediation of environment pollution, which contains a large number of organic dyes [1][2][3][4]. Given the characteristic of low energy consumption and green, semiconductor photocatalysts are regarded as the environmental-friendly technologies for degradation of organic dyes [5][6][7][8].…”

Facile synthesis, characterization and recyclable photocatalytic activity of Ag2WO4@g-C3N4

“…Graphite like carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) is an excellent support for many photocatalysts [114][115][116] due to its high surface area, strong visible light absorption capacity and narrow band gap. g-C 3 N 4 was synthesized through the thermal decomposition of various precursors such as urea, thiourea and melamine [116][117][118].…”

Preparation in Acidic and Alkaline Conditions and Characterization of α-Bi2Mo3O12 and γ-Bi2MoO6 Powders

“…9 In each experiment, 20 mg a-Bi 2 Mo 3 O 12 or c-Bi 2 MoO 6 was added into 50 mL aqueous solution of methylene blue in a quartz glass reactor, cooled by recycling water to prevent thermal catalytic effects. The degradation efficiency of methylene blue was evaluated by using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy to measure the maximum absorption of methylene blue solution at 664 nm.…”
