Photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen evolution and synchronous degradation of organic pollutants by pg-C3N4/β-FeOOH S-scheme heterojunction

Graphitic carbon nitride supported silver nanoparticles (AgNPs/g-C3N4): synthesis and photocatalytic behavior in the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid

“…Photocatalysis is particularly attractive because it harnesses natural sunlight as an energy source. 7,11,12 Graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), the metal-free semiconductor has been widely used in many applications such as chemical sensors, water splitting, and pollutant degradation [13][14][15][16][17] Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) is a promising material for the photocatalysis of 2,4-D. 12 It is synthesized from readily available, low-cost precursors (urea, melamine, thiourea, etc. ), has high chemical and thermal stability, is not toxic, and has a moderate band gap energy of approximately 2.7 eV.…”
