The effects of carbon doping state and surface modification of g-C3N4 on the performance of g-C3N4@C-TiO2 composite photocatalysts were studied by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-visible diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and electron paramagnetic resonance.

Although the number of oxygen vacancies gradually increased, the degradation efficiency of g-C3N4@C-TiO2 for RhB (phenol) initially increased and subsequently decreased with increasing carbon content. The g-C3N4@10C-TiO2 sample exhibited the highest apparent reaction rate constant of 0.036 min儃1 (0.039 min儃1) for RhB (phenol) degradation, which was 150 (139), 6.4 (6.8), 2.3 (3), and 1.7 (2.1) times higher than that of pure TiO2, 10C-TiO2, g-C3N4, and g-C3N4@TiO2, respectively. g-C3N4 was grown in situ on the surface of C-TiO2 by surface carbon hybridization and bonding. The resultant novel g-C3N4@C-TiO2 photocatalyst exhibited direct Z-scheme heterojunctions with non-local impurity levels. The high photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the improved visible light response ability, higher photogenerated electron transfer efficiency, and redox ability arising from Z-type heterojunctions.展开更多
