Synergistic effect of efficient adsorption g-C3N4/ZnO composite for photocatalytic property

Enhanced visible light-driven photocatalytic performance of ZnO–g-C3N4 coupled with graphene oxide as a novel ternary nanocomposite

“…ZnO-g-C 3 N 4 and ZnO-g-C 3 N 4 /GO also exhibited several peaks in the 650-1200 cm -1 range; these are attributed to g-C 3 N 4 [35]. Specifically, the peaks at 1210, 1235, and 1318 cm -1 were assigned to CN stretching vibrations, while those at 1406, 1450, 1560, 1638 cm -1 are likely due to heptazine-derived repeating units, as previously reported [36]. In addition, the broad band at around 3100-3400 cm -1 is assigned to the -NH moieties, as well as to the adsorbed hydroxyl groups of H 2 O.…”

Deposition of ZnO flowers on the surface of g-C3N4 sheets via hydrothermal process

“…3. The diffraction peak at 27.41 is characteristic of interlayer stacking of aromatic systems, indexed as the (002) peak of graphitic materials, which is in agreement with previous results [27]. The peaks at 31. that the composite has a well-developed crystalline phase.…”

“…The photocatalytic properties of synthesized composite were better than those of ZnO or g-C 3 N 4 alone under visible light irradiation. Similarly, Li et alsynthesized a ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 composite using the monolayer-dispersed method and they evaluated its photocatalytic activity for the degradation of aqueous rhodamine B (RhB) [27].…”

A ternary g-C 3 N 4 /Pt/ZnO photoanode for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting

“…After deconvolution, the main N1s peak at a binding energy of 398.4 eV can be assigned to sp 2 -hybridized nitrogen (CeNaC), thus confirming the presence of sp 2 -bonded graphitic carbon nitride. The other two peaks are i n t e r n a t i o n a l j o u r n a l o f h y d r o g e n e n e r g y x x x ( 2 0 1 5 ) 1 e8 attributed to Ne(C) 3 (400.1 eV) and CeNe(H) 2 groups (401.3 eV), respectively [23].
