High photosensitization activity of g-C3N4 intercalated ZnS nanocrystal for textile dye degradation
The g-C₃N₄/ZnS nanocomposite material was developed through a wet chemical synthesis process which combined graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) with Zn(NO₃)₂.6H₂O to overcome ZnS drawbacks including its large bandgap and fast electron-hole recombination. Scientific analysis of the final materials used X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy for structural, morphological and optical characterization. The efficient construction of a heterojunction between g-C₃N₄ and ZnS elements was enabled by optimizing the g-C₃N₄ concentration which produced better photocurrent response and improved charge separation. Photocatalytic performance of 3 wt% g-C₃N₄/ZnS nanocomposite surpassed all other samples by obtaining 93.0 % MO decomposition using simulated sunlight in 90-minute timeframe. The exceptional efficiency level exceeds numerous previously documented ZnS-based systems which shows that this composite has strong potential for wastewater treatment of organic pollutants. The observed high efficiency in these wastewater treatment systems involves organic pollutants due to the superior performance of the 3 wt% g-C₃N₄/ZnS nanocomposite.
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.
