Interfacial engineering of graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_3N_4)-based metal sulfide heterojunction photocatalysts for energy conversion: A review

As one of the most appealing and attractive technologies, photocatalysis is widely used as a promising method to circumvent the environmental and energy problems. Due to its chemical stability and unique physicochemical, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has become research hotspots in the community. However, g-C3N4 photocatalyst still suffers from many problems, resulting in unsatisfactory photocatalytic activity such as low specific surface area, high charge recombination and insufficient visible light utilization. Since 2009, g-C3N4-based heterostructures have attracted the attention of scientists worldwide for their greatly enhanced photocatalytic performance. Overall, this review summarizes the recent advances of g-C3N4-based nanocomposites modified with transition metal sulfide (TMS), including (1) preparation of pristine g-C3N4,(2) modification strategies of g-C3N4,(3) design principles of TMS-modified g-C3N4 heterostructured photocatalysts, and (4) applications in energy conversion. What is more, the characteristics and transfer mechanisms of each classification of the metal sulfide heterojunction system will be critically reviewed, spanning from the following categories:(1) Type I heterojunction,(2) Type II heterojunction,(3) p-n heterojunction,(4) Schottky junction and (5) Z-scheme heterojunction. Apart from that, the application of g-C3N4-based heterostructured photocatalysts in H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, N2 fixation and pollutant degradation will also be systematically presented. Last but not least, this review will conclude with invigorating perspectives, limitations and prospects for further advancing g-C3N4-based heterostructured photocatalysts toward practical benefits for a sustainable future.

Photo Degradation of Dyes from Their Aqueous Solutions of Their Binary Mixture, Using TiO2 as the Oxidant with Different Sources of Energy

The photodegradation has been widely used in water and waste water treatment of all the methods like froth flotation coagulation etc., photodegradation appears to offer the best prospects for overall treatment of dyestuff effulent. Photodegradation of aniline blue and crystal violet dyes from aqueous solutions of their binary mixture was carried out using TiO2 as photocatalyst. By carrying out photodegradation, varying the experimental parameters, the optimum conditions required for maximum degradation was found out. The photodegradation of dye was carried out using different sources of energy like solar radiation and microwave radiation. The degradation studies were carried out at temperatures 25 ℃, 35 ℃ and 45 ℃ so as to calculate the rate constant and activation parameters. Both energy sources are equivalent in causing degradation in all respects except time and dose of photo catalyst. Time required is less for microwave than solar radiation, but dose of photo catalyst needed was high for microwave radiation. These results will be helpful in designing effluent treatment plants in industries.

Facile preparation of self-assembled MXene@Au@CdS nanocomposite with enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production activity

Photocatalytic hydrogen production is considered a promising approach to generating clean sustainable energy.However,the conventional co-catalyst(e.g.,Pt)used in photocatalytic hydrogen production is high-cost and difficult to obtain.Here,we designed and prepared a ternary nanocomposite MXene@Au@Cd S,which can be used in the field of efficient and excellent photocatalytic hydrogen production.The MXene@Au@Cd S has a hydrogen production rate of 17,070.43μmol g^-1h^-1(tested for 2 h),which is 1.85 times that of pure Cd S nanomaterials.The improved hydrogen production performance of the MXene@Au@Cd S is attributed to:(i)MXene provides more active adsorption sites and reaction centers for Au and Cd S nanoparticles;(ii)the synergistic effect of Au’s strong surface plasmon resonance expands the optical response range of Cd S.Therefore,this work solves the problem of the solid connection between the surface functional groups of photocatalyst,and achieves rapid interface charge transfer and long-term stability during the hydrogen production.
