Abstract
Photocatalytic decomposition of pollutant is the most optimal approach for the wastewater remediation. Nevertheless, the development of a catalyst that is both cost-effective and extraordinarily active remains a substantial challenge. The g-C3N4/LaCoO3 heterostructure were prepared by different weight percentages of g-C3N4 (15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 wt%). The g-C3N4 and LaCoO3 were exhibits hexagonal and rhombohedral crystal structure respectively. The g-C3N4/LaCoO3 heterostructure exhibits tiny particles were anchored over the coarse like structure. The g-C3N4/LaCoO3 heterostructure promote visible light harvest and inhibit charge carrier recombination than the bare LaCoO3 and g-C3N4 and which helps to enhance the organic pollutant elimination performances. The g-C3N4/LaCoO3 heterojunction exhibits superior methylene blue degradation when compared to bare LaCoO3 and g-C3N4. Furthermore, the composite of LaCoO3/g-C3N4–60 wt% exhibits higher photocatalytic activity and exceptional stability were observed under visible light irradiation.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
