The progress in using g-C3N4-based membranes for water treatment has been detailed in this presentation. The review delivers an updated description of g-C3N4 based membranes and their separation functions and new ideas for future enhancements/adjustments to address their weaknesses in real-world situations. Finally, the ongoing problems and promising future research directions for g-C3N4-based membranes are discussed.

Abstract
Water pollution is becoming an inevitable problem in today's world. Tons and tons of wastewater with hazardous pollutants are getting discharged into the clean water bodies every day. In this regard, photocatalytic environmental remediation using nanotechnology such as the use of organic, metal and non-metal based semiconductor photocatalysts for photodegradation of pollutants has gained enormous attention in the past few decades. This review is focused particularly on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) which is a cheap, metal-free, polymeric photoactive compound and it is used as a potential photocatalyst in wastewater treatment. Though, pristine g-C3N4 is a good photocatalyst, it has certain drawbacks such as poor visible light absorption capacity, quicker recombination of photoelectrons and holes, delayed mass and charge transfer, etc. As a result, the pristine g-C3N4 catalyst is modified into novel 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D morphologies such as nano-quantum dots, nanorods, nanotubes, nanowires, nanosheets, nanoflakes, nanospheres, nanoshells, etc. It was also tailored into novel composites along with various compounds through doping, metal deposition, heterojunction formation, etc., to enhance the photocatalytic property of pure g-C3N4. The modified catalysts showed promising photocatalytic performance such as degradation of majority of pollutants in the environment. It also showed excellent results in the removal or reduction of heavy metals. This review provides a detailed record of g-C3N4 and its diverse photocatalytic applications in the past years and it provides knowledge for the development of such similar novel compounds in the future.

Abstract
In this work, the CdS quantum dots (QDs) decorated Bi2MoO6/Bi2Mo3O12 (BMO) heterojunction photocatalyst (C/BMO) has been successfully synthesized using a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The as-prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, FESEM, TEM, UV-vis DRS, PL and photoelectrochemical measurements to investigate the effects of CdS(QDs) and BMO heterojunction on the structure, morphology, optical and charge carrier transmission characteristics of the photocatalysts. Narrow band gap and superior catalytic activities were found in C/BMO as compared with pure BMO. Moreover, the C/BMO photocatalyst containing twice CdS content (2-C/BMO) exhibits even higher photocatalytic activity and stability. After exposure to visible light for 30 min, the degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB), Methylene blue (MB) and Ofloxacin (OFX) by 2-C/BMO reached 95%, 92% and 76%, respectively. Radicals scavenging experiments and electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR) investigations indicated that the superoxide radical anions (∙O2- ), hole (h+) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are the dominating active species in the photodegradation processes. ∙O2- and h+ are the key factors in the degradation of RhB and OFX solutions, and •OH is the major determinant in removal of MB. The process and photocatalytic mechanism on 2-C/BMO was discussed. Well absorption of visible light, effective separation of photoelectron-hole pairs and the transportation of photogenerated carriers at the interfaces of ternary semiconductor heterojunction are suggested as the key factors to enhance the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts.

Abstract
Membrane separation is a promising technology that can effectively remove various existing contaminants from water with low energy consumption and small carbon footprint. The critical issue of membrane technology development is to obtain a low-cost, stable, tunable and multifunctional material for membrane fabrication. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has emerged as a promising membrane material, owing to the unique structure characteristics and outstanding catalytic activity. This review paper outlined the advanced material strategies used to regulate the molecule structure of g-C3N4 for membrane separation. The presentative progresses on the applications of g-C3N4-based membranes for water purification have been elaborated. Essentially, we highlighted the innovation integration of physical separation, catalysis and energy conversion during water purification, which was of great importance for the sustainability of water treatment techniques. Finally, the continuing challenges of g-C3N4-based membranes and the possible breakthrough directions in the future research was prospected.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 587:633-643.

Abstract
The development of recyclable photocatalysts with broad-spectral photoresponse has drawn much attention for the practical application in flowing wastewater treatment. Herein, we have reported the construction of BiOBr/Ag/AgBr junctions on carbon fiber cloth (CFC) as broad-spectral-response filter-membrane-shaped photocatalyst that is efficient and easily recyclable. With CFC as the substrate, BiOBr nanosheets (diameter: 0.5-1 μm) were firstly synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and then Ag/AgBr nanoparticles (size: 100-300 nm) were prepared on the surface of CFC/BiOBr by using a chemical bath deposition route. CFC/BiOBr/Ag/AgBr presents superior flexibility and wide UV-Vis-NIR photoabsorption (from 200 to 1000 nm). Under visible light irradiation, CFC/BiOBr/Ag/AgBr (area: 4 × 4 cm2) can remove 99.8% rhodamine B (RhB), 99.0% acid orange 7 (AO7), and 93.0% tetracycline (TC) after 120 min, better than CFC/BiOBr (95.4% RhB, 55.0% AO7 and 91.2% TC). Interestingly, when CFC/BiOBr/Ag/AgBr is served as a filter-membrane in a photoreactor to purify the flowing sewage (RhB, rate: ~1.5 L h-1), the degradation rate of RhB goes up to 90.0% after ten filtering grades. Therefore, CFC/BiOBr/Ag/AgBr has great potential to purify the flowing wastewater as a novel filter-membrane-shaped photocatalyst.

Abstract
A novel flower-like Ag/Ag2CrO4/BiOCOOH heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized by a facile in-situ precipitation strategy combined with photoreduction treatment. Morphological studies revealed that numerous Ag/Ag2CrO4 nanoparticles were evenly anchored on BiOCOOH microflowers, producing a novel heterojunction with the compactly interfacial contact. Optical absorption characterization demonstrated that Ag/Ag2CrO4/BiOCOOH possessed much better sunlight harvesting ability than Ag2CrO4/BiOCOOH and BiOCOOH. Photocatalytic experiments verified that compared with BiOCOOH, Ag2CrO4, Ag/Ag2CrO4, and Ag2CrO4/BiOCOOH, Ag/Ag2CrO4/BiOCOOH achieved remarkable efficiency by eliminating 100% of rhodamine B (RhB), 82.6% of methyl orange (MO) or 69.4% of ciprofloxacin (CIP) within 50 min at a catalyst dosage of 0.4 g/L. The high photocatalytic performance is likely owing to the improved sunlight response and the distinctly suppressed recombination of charge carriers arising from the formation of the novel 3D hierarchical heterostructure. The quenching test signified that h+, and •O2− were detected as the prevailing active species in wastewater treatment. This study may provide a viable strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of wide band-gap semiconductors.

Abstract
Engineering p-n heterojunctions among metal oxide semiconductors to provide a built-in electric field is an efficient strategy to facilitate the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes and improve their photocatalytic activities. However, the inherent poor conductivity of p-n heterojunctions still limits the charge-transfer step and thus hampers their practical application in photocatalysis. In this work, a nitrogen-doped carbon-coated NiO/TiO2 p-n (NCNT) heterojunction with hierarchical mesoporous sphere morphology was synthesized by in situ pyrolytic decomposition of nickel-titanium complexes. The NiO/TiO2 p-n heterojunction in NCNT was fully characterized by several techniques, supported by theoretical calculations and Mott-Schottky plots. On coating with a thin nitrogen-doped carbon layer, the electron transfer of the obtained p-n heterojunction could be significantly enhanced. On account of the favorable structural features of the p-n heterojunction with nitrogen-doped carbon coating and hierarchical mesoporous structure, NCNT exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity toward various reaction systems, including the hydrogen evolution reaction and the visible-light-induced hydroxylation of phenylboronic acids.
