Novel visible-light responded aluminosilicophosphate-5 (SAPO-5)/g-C3N4 composite has been easily constructed by thermal polymerization for the mixture of SAPO-5, NH4Cl, and dicyandiamide. The photocatalytic activity of SAPO-5/g-C3N4 is evaluated by degrading RhB (30 mg/L) under visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm). The effects of SAPO-5 incorporation proportion and initial RhB concentration on the photocatalytic performance have been discussed in detail. The optimized SAPO-5/g-C3N4 composite shows promising degradation efficiency which is 40.6% higher than that of pure g-C3N4. The degradation rate improves from 0.007 min−1 to 0.022 min−1, which is a comparable photocatalytic performance compared with other g-C3N4-based heterojunctions for dye degradation. The migration of photo-induced electrons from g-C3N4 to the Al site of SAPO-5 should promote the photo-induced electron-hole pairs separation rate of g-C3N4 efficiently. Furthermore, the redox reactions for RhB degradation occur on the photo-induced holes in the g-C3N4 and Al sites in SAPO-5, respectively. This achievement not only improves the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 efficiently, but also broadens the application of SAPOs in the photocatalytic field.

Essential Parameter

In this investigation, various proportions of Pt@BaZrO3 (at 1∼4 wt.%) accommodating 2.0 wt% Pt were adopted to establish Pt@BaZrO3/g-C3N4 nanocomposites of improved photocatalytic performance. H2PtCl6 nanoparticles as well as mesoporous BaZrO3 and g-C3N4 were utilized to develop the prescribed nanocomposites via sonication-mixture routine. The photocatalytic achievement for the upgraded Pt@BaZrO3/g-C3N4 nanocomposites beneath visible light irradiation were tested by examining ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. Enhanced charge transfer and retarded charges’ recombination were established amid Pt, BaZrO3 NPs and g-C3N4 nanosheets in the developed heterojunctions. The proportion (wt.%) of Pt@BaZrO3 was found to be an essential parameter in governing the photocatalytic efficacy of the promoted Pt@BaZrO3/g-C3N4 nanocomposites. Moreover, complete photocatalytic decomposition of CIP was established over Pt@BaZrO3/g-C3N4 nanocomposite, accommodating 3 wt.% Pt@BaZrO3 NPs. Such superior performance was correlated to the great ability of the Pt@BaZrO3/g-C3N4 to absorb visible light in addition to the prolonged charge separation amid the photo-induced charge carriers.

Charge Carrier Recombination

In this article, palladium modification and silver modification were used as examples to demonstrate the disinfection effects on microorganisms in aqueous environment of photocatalytic transition-metal-ion-modified nitrogen-doped titanium oxide (TiON/M) materials. Transition metal ion modification was applied to TiON to take advantage of the coupling between transition metal ion addition and TiON semiconductor matrix under visible light illumination. The coupling promotes the separation of electron and hole pairs produced by photon excitation, thus it could reduce the intrinsic charge carrier recombination from anion-doping, which largely limits the photoactivity of TiON under visible light illumination. Large enhancements on the hydroxyl radical production and the photocatalytic disinfection efficiency on microorganisms under visible light illumination were observed for TiON with both palladium and silver modifications. The superior photocatalytic performance under visible light illumination suggests that the transition metal ion modification is an effective approach to reduce the massive charge carrier recombination from anion-doping and to enhance the photocatalytic performance of anion-doped TiO2. The resulting photocatalytic materials have the potential for a wide range of environmental applications.

Morphology And Structure

Wormhole-shaped F-doped TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes were prepared by microarc oxidation method in NaF solution. The morphology and structure of the photoelectrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). It was found that F-doped TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes were porous and composed of anatase TiO2. The photocatalytic properties of F-doped TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes were investigated by photodiscoloration rate of Rhodamine B(Rh.B) under different conditions. All results showed that the photoelectrodes prepared at voltage of 160V, NaF concentration of 0.01mol/L and oxidation time of 10min have optimal photocatalytic performance. Rh.B was almost completely removed by F-doped TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes after 120min under the illumination of artificial visible light.
