Heterostructured AgX/g-C3N4 (X = Cl and Br) nanocomposites via a sonication-assisted deposition-precipitation approach: Emerging role of halide ions in the synergistic photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide

Characterization of urea derived polymeric carbon nitride and resultant thermally vacuum deposited amorphous thin films: Structural, chemical and photophysical properties

“…Applications proposed so far were metal-free catalysis, including Friedel-Crafts (FC) acylation of benzene, photocatalysis for hydrogen and oxygen production from water, as well as reduction of carbon dioxide [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The p-CN only consists of abundant elements in a tri-s-triazine ring structure as elementary building block.…”

Interface Effects in Sunlight-Driven Ag/g-C3N4 Composite Catalysts: Study of the Toluene Photodegradation Quantum Efficiency

“…Recently, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has been one of the most studied either as a single phase or as part of a photocatalyst because of its notable visible light absorption (Band Gap ~ 2.7 eV) and environmental stability. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Nevertheless, the photocatalytic efficiency of the pure g-C 3 N 4 is limited by the high recombination rate of its photogenerated electron-hole pairs. 6,7,9,17,18 To enhance its photocatalytic properties, many methods or procedures have been essayed.…”

Alternative photocatalysts to TiO 2 for the photocatalytic reduction of CO 2

“…AgCl [165]. The preparation of RGO/pCN photocatalysts via the combination of a dispersion method with ultrasounds, accumulation by electrostatic forces and π-π interactions and a reductive process with NaBH 4 , led to the formation of 2D compounds with intimate contact in width of the heterojunction connection.…”
