One-pot hydrothermal synthesis of a double Z-scheme g-C 3N 4/AgI/β-AgVO 3 ternary nanocomposite for efficient degradation of organic pollutants and DPC-Cr(VI) complex under visible-light irradiation. Photochem Photobiol Sci 2022; 21:1371-1386.

Abstract
The Z-scheme photocatalytic system provides a promising way to achieve significant photodegradation efficiency. The work embodied here describes the synthesis of highly efficient double Z-scheme g-C3N4/AgI/β-AgVO3 (g-CNAB) ternary nanocomposite using a one-pot hydrothermal route. The optical properties, phase structure, and morphology of the synthesized samples were investigated using UV-visible diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The transmission electron microscopy investigation revealed that synthesized composite material represents close interfacial interactions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirms the presence of all the elements in the synthesized ternary nanocomposite materials. The photocatalytic performance of as-prepared photocatalysts has been systematically investigated using the photodegradation of a variety of pollutants, including Rhodamine B, Ciprofloxacin, and 1,5-diphenylcarbazide-Cr(VI) [DPC-Cr(VI)] complex under visible-light irradiation. Among all synthesized materials, such as g-C3N4, AgI, β-AgVO3, and ternary nanocomposites with varying loading of β-AgVO3 [g-CNAB(0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0)], the photocatalyst g-CNAB(1.5) nanocomposite achieved a remarkably high photocatalytic efficiency. The quenching impact of several scavengers revealed that reactive species such as superoxide anion radical (O2·-) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) are significant in the degradation of various contaminants. Based on the characterization and application, a plausible photocatalytic mechanism has been sketched out to determine the reaction pathways involved in the degradation of pollutants present in the aqueous medium.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:31585-31595.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of between SnO2 QDs /AgVO3 nanoribbons/g-C3N4 nanosheets of ternary photocatalytic systems for the production of H2 through light irradiation. The SnO2/AgVO3/g-C3N4 photocatalyst was successfully produced by using the hydrothermal process. The structural characterizations of the samples revealed the successful formation of ternary heterostructures where SnO2, AgVO3 and g-C3N4 (quantum dots/nanoribbons/nanosheets) 0D/1D/2D structures make a good interface with each other. The fabricated heterostructures of AgVO3/g-C3N4 and SnO2/AgVO3/g-C3N4 photocatalytic structures performed enriched photocatalytic performance for H2 production over that of the pristine g-C3N4, AgVO3 and SnO2 photocatalysts. The AgVO3/g-C3N4 and SnO2 /AgVO3/g-C3N4 of photocatalysts were found to produce H2 of around 17,000 μmol g-1 and 77,000 μmol g-1, respectively, which is much 4.5 times greater than that of AgVO3/g-C3N4 photocatalyst. Moreover, the photodegradation behaviours of prepared catalysts were studied with the dye (rhodamine B, RhB) under light irradiation. The ternary composite SnO2/AgVO3/g-C3N4 performed photodegradation of RhB in 50 min. The higher photocatalytic activity for the ternary photocatalysts is predominantly due to the effective charge separation at the perfect interface formation amid SnO2 and AgVO3/g-C3N4.
