Facile ball-milling synthesis of carbon nitride Z-scheme heterojunction for dramatically enhanced photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants
The Z-scheme heterojunctions have garnered significant attention in photocatalysis due to their enhanced charge carrier separation and transport capabilities. In this study, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction composed of phosphorus-doped carbon nitride (P-C3N4) and manganese-doped carbon nitride (Mn-C3N4) was constructed via a simple and efficient ball milling method. Compared to the pristine g-C3N4, P-C3N4, and Mn-C3N4, the P-C3N4/Mn-C3N4 Z-scheme heterojunction demonstrated a substantial improvement in photocatalytic performance. This enhancement is attributed to the optimized energy band alignment and intimate interface contact between the two components, which promote efficient charge carrier separation, accelerate electron transport, and improve interface stability. Experimental results showed that the P-C3N4/Mn-C3N4 system achieved complete degradation (100 %) of Rhodamine B (RhB) and 91.1 % degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) within 60 min. Additionally, the system retained over 80 % of its catalytic activity after five cycles, suggesting its promising potential for industrial applications. This study provides a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly approach, offering valuable insights for the design of Z-scheme heterojunctions and innovative C3N4-based 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.
