Organic pollutants in water have been threatening public and environmental health. Developing efficient and sustainable photocatalysts working for degradation of organic pollutants under visible light becomes a big challenge. In this paper, high-efficiency visible light driven catalyst ordered mesoporous graphite nitride carbon (mpg-C3N4) was prepared by using SBA-15 as template and dicyandiamide (C2H4N4) as precursor. The specific surface area of mpg-C3N4 can be increased remarkably as compared to that of the bulk graphite nitrite carbon (g-C3N4) by adjusting the ratio of SBA-15 to dicyandiamide. Photocatalytic performance of mpg-C3N4 were evaluated systematically by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), malachite green (MG) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the mpg-C3N4 (1:0.5) has the highest photocatalytic activity and stability and the degradation rate is for RhB, MG and TC are all more than seven times that of bulk g-C3N4. After five recycling runs, the mpg-C3N4 (1:0.5) remains high photocatalytic activities for the degradation of MG (94%) and TC (81%), respectively. Additionally, radical trapping experiments certified that the main active species are [Formula: see text] and h[Formula: see text], while the role of [Formula: see text]OH is irrelevant in the reaction processes. This work provides a promising pathway to prepare metal-free photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants under visible light irradiation.

Silver decorated TiO2 nanoparticles (Ag@syn-TiO2, Ag@P25) were synthesized by photoreducing Ag+ species in the presence of the synthetized TiO2 (syn-TiO2) nanocrystals or P25. The samples obtained were characterized by XRD, XPS, UV-vis and TEM. The XRD results showed the syn-TiO2 nanoparticles were pure anatase, and the P25 nanoparticles were the mixture of antase and rutile. The TEM observations and XPS spectra indicated that Ag species anchored on the surfaces of syn-TiO2 nanoparticles as Ag0 and AgO nanoclusters (NCs). The Ag NCs have a size range of 13 nm and the AgO NCs have a size range of 1015 nm. The Ag NCs on the surface of P25 have a size range of 57 nm, and no AgO species were found. The photocatalytic performance of the Ag@syn-TiO2 and Ag@P25 samples was evaluated by degradating Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible-light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). The results indicated that the phases and morphologies of TiO2 nanocrystals have effects on their photocatalytic properties, and that the syn-TiO2 nanocrystals wiht the pure anatase are more active than P25 with the mixture of antase and rutile in RhB degradation. The possible mechanisms were discussed.

CdS/Ag2S/g-C3N4 ternary composites showed excellent photocatalytic performance toward H2 evolution. Their improved photocatalytic activity could be attributed not only to the synergic effect, but also to the introduction of Ag2S.
