Abstract
Abstract In this article, ZnO quantum dots (QDs)-g-C3N4 complexes were prepared by a combined sol–gel method and ultrasound-assisted chemical method, and ZnO-g-C3N4 composites with different doping ratios were also prepared for photocatalytic degradation of dye wastewater. The composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence. The photocatalytic performance of the best ZnO QDs-g-C3N4 complexes with different g-C3N4 doping amounts was investigated, and the kinetics of their photocatalytic reactions were analyzed, and it was found that the best effect of ZnO-g-C3N4 10% could reach 89.08% and ZnO QDs-g-C3N4 could reach 91.53%. It was also demonstrated that ZnO-g-C3N4 10%, ZnO QDs-g-C3N4 cyclic stability is better, and the reaction mechanism of ZnO QDs-g-C3N4 was investigated. It can be used for the degradation of dyes in environmental wastewater and the removal of harmful substances from the natural environment.
期刊介绍:
Green Processing and Synthesis is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed journal that provides up-to-date research both on fundamental as well as applied aspects of innovative green process development and chemical synthesis, giving an appropriate share to industrial views. The contributions are cutting edge, high-impact, authoritative, and provide both pros and cons of potential technologies. Green Processing and Synthesis provides a platform for scientists and engineers, especially chemists and chemical engineers, but is also open for interdisciplinary research from other areas such as physics, materials science, or catalysis.
