Abstract
Metallic nickel nanoparticles (Ni0 NPs)-supported g-C3N4 have been developed using a solvothermal technique in N,N-dimethylformamide solvent. A uniformly dispersion of Ni0 NPs anchored on a g-C3N4 photocatalyst can improve the photocatalytic efficiency. The optimized Ni/g-C3N4 catalyst demonstrated a high photodegradation rate of TCH at 6.0 × 10−3 min−1 under LED light irradiation, which was approximately three times greater than that of the bare g-C3N4 catalyst. This superior performance originates from the capable separation of electron-hole pairs, facilitated by the strong interaction between Ni0 NPs and the host g-C3N4, as supported by optical and electrochemical property analysis. Our work provides a facile manner for the effective degradation of pollutants using heterojunction photocatalysts.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
