Construction of charge transfer channels inside h-BN/ g-C3N4 composites to enhance photocatalytic activity
Materials Research Bulletin(2024)
摘要
Water resources are an indispensable part of life, but the current water pollution problem is facing serious challenges. In this article, two-dimensional g-C3N4 and h-BN used as raw materials, a series of h-BN/g-C3N4 (BCN) composite catalysts with varying mass by designed and synthesized using combination of simple solvent volatilization and high-temperature thermal polymerization method. The degradation rate of the BCN-2 catalyst was impressively 13.7 times higher than that of the bulk g-C3N4 when RhB was used as the target pollutants, demonstrating significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance compared to both bulk g-C3N4 and h-BN. The burst experiments on free radicals revealed that h+ and ∙O2− played a predominant role in the photocatalytic system. Moreover, the introduction of h-BN into g-C3N4 nanosheets modulated their microstructure, facilitating effectively hole migration channels and enhancing synergistically the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Consequently, the composites of h-BN/g-C3N4 with remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity were obtained.
