The structure, morphology, surface area, and photocatalytic properties of the prepared samples were studied. After treatment, the size of the g-C3N4 decreased from several micrometers to several hundred nanometers, and the specific area of the g-C3N4 increased from 11.5 m2/g to 115 m2/g. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 was significantly improved after treatment toward degradation of 4- nitrophenol under visible light irradiation. The degradation rate constant of the small particle g-C3N4 is 5.7 times of that of bulk g-C3N4, which makes it a promising visible light photocatalyst for future applications for water treatment and environmental remediation.展开更多

The morphology, structure and composition of the resulted products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and N2 adsorption and desorption. The GO/MnO2 nanocomposite was used as an electrode material for non-enzymatic determination of hydrogen peroxide. The proposed sensor exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance for the determination of hydrogen peroxide in phosphate buffer solution（PBS, pH7） at an applied potential of 0.75 V. The non-enzymatic biosensor for determination of hydrogen peroxide displayed a wide linear range of 4.90 mmol L^-1–4.50 mmol L^-1with a correlation coefficient of 0.9992, a low detection limit of 0.48 mmol L^-1 and a high sensitivity of 191.22μA（mmol L^-1）^-1cm^-2（signal/noise, S/N = 3）. Moreover, the non-enzymatic biosensor shows an excellent selectivity.展开更多
