“…e diffraction peaks of g-C 3 N 4 remain intact which shows that the doping of iron does not change the peaks of g-C 3 N 4 but the intensity of the peaks in the final composite is reduced, confirming effective insertion of the dopant [24]. e XRD data displayed welldefined diffraction peaks consistent with planes (301), (002), (231), (400), (402), ( 233), (460), and (462), observed at 2θ values 28.4 °, 30.58 °, 31.67 °, 32.88 °, 45.4 °, 54.9 °, 56.9, and 58.04 °, respectively, as shown in Figure 3, and are coherent with the corresponding planes of Ag 2 WO 4 (JCPDS# 34-0061) [13]. All the characteristic peaks of g-C 3 N 4 and Ag 2 WO 4 are present in the Fe-doped ternary composite but with lesser intensities than the undoped CN-AW and Fe-CN composites.…”

The rapid population growth and economic development have largely contributed to environmental pollution. Various advanced oxidation processes have been used as the most viable solution for the reduction of recalcitrant pollutants and wastewater treatment. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is one of the broadly used technologies for wastewater treatment among all advanced oxidation processes. Graphitic carbon nitride alone or in combination with various other semiconductor metal oxide materials acts as a competent visible light active photocatalyst for the removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants from wastewater. Rational designing of an environment-friendly photocatalyst through a facile synthetic approach encounters various challenges in photocatalytic technologies dealing with semiconductor metal oxides. Doping in g-C3N4 and subsequent coupling with metal oxides have shown remarkable enhancement in the photodegradation activity of g-C3N4-based nanocomposites owing to the modulation in g-C3N4 bandgap structuring and surface area. In the current study, a novel ternary Fe-doped g-C3N4/Ag2WO4 visible light active photocatalyst was fabricated through an ultrasonic-assisted facile hydrothermal method. Characterization analysis included SEM analysis, FTIR, XRD, XPS, and UV-Visible techniques to elucidate the morphology and chemical structuring of the as-prepared heterostructure. The bandgap energies were assessed using the Tauc plot. The ternary nanocomposite (Fe-CN-AW) showed increased photodegradation efficiency (97%) within 120 minutes, at optimal conditions of pH = 8, catalyst dose = 50 mg/100 ml, an initial RhB concentration of 10 ppm, and oxidant dose 5 mM under sunlight irradiation. The enhanced photodegradation of rhodamine B dye by ternary Fe-CN-AW was credited to multielectron transfer pathways due to insertion of a Fe dopant in graphitic carbon nitride and subsequent coupling with silver tungstate. The data were statistically assessed by the response surface methodology.

A novel nanocomposite was synthesized by covalent functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) with 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)porphyrinatoiron (III) chloride (Fe−THPP) via an ester linkage. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by various techniques such as XPS, Raman spectroscopy, BET, IR, UV‐Visible, TGA, SEM, and EDX. The synthesized nanocomposite exhibited appreciable interaction with crystal violet (CV) dye with a detection limit of 2.6×10−6 μg/mL and binding constant of 35.93×103 ppm−1 which ensured the high concentration of CV dye on the surface of synthesized photocatalyst. The nanocomposite was effectively utilized in the photo‐degradation of CV dye under visible light irradiation. The photo‐degradation efficiency was remarkably high (93.45 %) with a low catalytic dosage of 0.4 mg/L within 80 minutes. The nanocomposite exhibited good stability and reusability and thereby can be used in the photocatalytic degradation processes to treat wastewater.
