Abstract The BiFeO3/g-C3N4 heterostructure, which is fabricated via a simple mixing-calcining method, benefits the significant enhancement of the pyrocatalytic performance. With the growth of the g-C3N4 content in the heterostructure pyrocatalysts from 0 to 25 %, the decomposition ratio of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye after 18 cold-hot temperature fluctuation (25 oC - 65 oC) cycles increases at first and then decreases, reaching a maximum value of ~ 94.2 % at 10% while that of the pure BiFeO 3 is ~ 67.7 %. The enhanced dye decomposition may be due to the fabrication of the heterostructure which strengthens the separation of the positive and negative carriers and further accelerates their migration. The intermediate products in the pyrocatalytic reaction also have been detected and confirmed, which proves the key role of the pyroelectric effect in realizing the dye decomposition using BiFeO3/g-C3N4 heterostructure catalyst. The pyroelectric BiFeO3/g-C3N4 heterostructure shows the potential application in pyrocatalytically degrading dye wastewater.

We prepared carbon dots (CD) co-doped with nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur via a facile ultrasound-assisted method; the resultant carbon dots can be used to selectively detect the antibiotic tetracycline by the IFE of a two-way matching strategy.

A ratiometric probe for determining ferric ions (Fe3+) was developed based on nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) and rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RhB), which was then applied to selective detection of Fe3+in PB buffer solution, lake water, and tap water. In the sensing system, FePO4particles deposit on the surface of CDs, resulting in larger particles and surface passivation. The fluorescence (FL) intensity and the light scattering (LS) intensity of CDs can be gradually enhanced with the addition of Fe3+, while the FL intensity of RhB remains constant. The ratiometric light intensity of CDs LS and RhB FL was quantitatively in response to Fe3+concentrations in a dynamic range of 0.01–1.2 μM, with a detection limit as low as 6 nM. Other metal ions, such as Fe2+, Al3+, K+, Ca2+, and Co2+, had no significant interference on the determination of Fe3+. Compared with traditional probes based on single-signal probe for Fe3+detection, this dual-signal-based ratiometric probe exhibits a more reliable and stable response on target concentration and is characterized by easy operation in a simple fluorescence spectrophotometer.
