Novel N-doped ZnO and O-doped g-C₃N₄ heterojunction: Enhanced photocatalytic degradation and robust electrochemical biosensing of ascorbic acid
ZnO and g-C₃N₄ are known for their potential in photocatalytic degradation and electrochemical applications, but their limited band gaps and electrical conductivity hinders performance. Doping is a strategy to modify these properties. This study reports the synthesis of nitrogen-doped ZnO (N-ZnO) and oxygen-doped g-C₃N₄ (OCN) nanocomposites using an in-situ hydrothermal process. Structural and compositional analysis confirmed successful synthesis, while FESEM and HRTEM revealed N-ZnO nanorods decorating OCN sheets. Optical analysis indicated a band gap of 2.54 eV, making the material active under visible light. The nanocomposites demonstrated 90 % photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) within 20 min, with a high rate constant (k = 0.1269 min−1), facilitated by a Z-scheme heterojunction. The catalyst remained stable even after 5 cycles. Moreover, electrochemical biosensing of ascorbic acid (AA) showed a regression value of 0.9965 with high anodic current response and small limit of detection (LOD) value, underscoring the potential of nanocomposite material for commercial applications in both photocatalysis and diagnostics.
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.
