INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19148683. [PMID: 35886535 PMCID: PMC9319032 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19148683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Adsorption can quickly remove pollutants in water, while photocatalysis can effectively decompose organic matter. B-TiO2/g-C3N4 ternary composite photocatalytic materials were prepared by molten method, and their adsorption-degradation capability under visible light conditions was discussed. The morphology of the B-TiO2/g-C3N4 materials was inspected by SEM, TEM, BET, and EDS, and the results showed that close interfacial connections between TiO2 and g-C3N4, which are favorable for charge transfer between these two semiconductors, formed heterojunctions with suitable band structure which was contributed by the molten B2O3. Meanwhile, the molten B2O3 effectively increased the specific surface area of TiO2/C3N4 materials, thereby increasing the active sites and reducing the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and improving the photocatalytic degradation abilities of TiO2 and g-C3N4. Elsewhere, the crystal structure analysis (XRD, XPS, FTIR) results indicated that the polar -B=O bond formed a new structure with TiO2 and g-C3N4, which is not only beneficial for inhibiting the recombination of electron holes but also improving the photocatalytic activity. By removal experiment, the adsorption and degradation performances of B-TiO2/g-C3N4 composite material were found to be 8.5 times and 3.4 times higher than that of g-C3N4. Above all, this study prepared a material for removing water pollutants with high efficiency and provides theoretical support and experimental basis for the research on the synergistic removal of pollutants by adsorption and photocatalysis.

Abstract
Carbon nitride materials have become one of the highly explored carbon-based nanomaterials due to their unique properties. Herein, the novel graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-C3N5-dots) were synthesized using an alkali-assisted hydrothermal method. The proposed strategy was simple, time-saving and the entire synthetic process only takes 60 min. And the prepared g-C3N5-dots showed excellent dispersion and good stability in water. What is more, the g-C3N5-dots displayed bright blue fluorescence with a high quantum yield of 12%. It was found that the g-C3N5-dots exhibited peroxidase-like activity, good biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity and can be successfully applied in cell imaging. The proposed method opens a new and efficient way for the preparation of fluorescent g-C3N5-dots and facilitates g-C3N5-dots for bioimaging and related biological sensing applications. Novel graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-C3N5-dots) were synthesized by an alkali-assisted hydrothermal method, having great potential applications in bioimaging and biological sensing.![]()

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) carbon nitride (C3N4) can be used as a promising platform for visible-light-active photocatalysts because of its suitable band positions. This study reports that HNO3 activation improves the photocatalytic activity of 3D melamine-derived C3N4 (MCN) materials, which degrade the organic pollutant rhodamine B (RhB). HNO3 treatment under reflux removes the carbonaceous impurities in MCN and introduces oxygen-containing functional groups on its surface. Under visible light irradiation, the nitric acid treated MCN (NT-MCN) completely degrades RhB within 30 min. Photophysical characterizations and control experiments with radical scavengers reveal that MCN and NT-MCN follow different reaction mechanisms. Because NT-MCN exhibits a longer photoluminescence lifetime, smaller electrochemical resistance, and larger photocurrent than those of MCN, it enables a better transfer of charge carriers during the catalytic reaction.
