Carrier Separation

Novel graphitic carbon nitride/KTaO3(g-C3N4/KTaO3) nanocomposite photocatalysts have been successfully synthesized via a facile and simple ultrasonic dispersion method. Compared to either g-C3N4or KTaO3, the composite photocatalysts show significantly increased photocatalytic activity for degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The increased photocatalytic performance of the composite could be attributed to the enhanced photogenerated charge carrier separation capacity. Moreover, it is observed that∙O2-is the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation of RhB using the g-C3N4/KTaO3composite photocatalysts.

Composite Photocatalysts

A series of Ag3PO4/BiOCOOH composite photocatalysts have been successfully synthesized by a simple in situ ion precipitation method. The crystallinity, morphology, microstructure, composition and optical property were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer (DRS). The as-prepared catalysts exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB and MB under visible light irradiation, the 2:1 Ag3PO4/BiOCOOH exhibited the best photocatalytic activity. By adding different free radical scavengers, the catalytic mechanism was discussed. In the process of degradation of RhB, holes (h[Formula: see text] is the main active species, [Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] played a certain active role, [Formula: see text]OH played a small role. In the process of degradation MB, holes (h[Formula: see text] is the main active species too, [Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] also played a certain active role, [Formula: see text]OH almost does not work.

Co Doped

Co-doped NiTiO3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts were prepared by a modified Pechini method to improve their photocatalytic activity toward methylene blue photodegradation under visible light irradiation. The combination of Co-doped NiTiO3 and g-C3N4 and Co-doping into the NiTiO3 lattice synergistically enhanced the photocatalytic performance of the composite photocatalysts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results for the Co-doped NiTiO3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts confirmed Ti-N linkages between the Co-doped NiTiO3 and g-C3N4. In addition, characteristic X-ray diffraction peaks for the NiTiO3 lattice structure clearly indicated substitution of Co into the NiTiO3 lattice structure. The composite structure and Co-doping of the C-x composite photocatalysts (x wt % Co-doped NiTiO3/g-C3N4) not only decreased the emission intensity of the photoluminescence spectra but also the semicircle radius of the Nyquist plot in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, giving the highest kapp value (7.15 × 10−3 min−1) for the C-1 composite photocatalyst.

Synergic Effect

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.
