Enriched photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activities of a 2D/0D g-C₃N₄/CeO₂ nanostructure.

ABSTRACT: Sunlight-powered photocatalysts made from CeO₂ nanosized particles and g-C₃N₄ nanostructures were produced through a thermal decomposition process with urea and cerium nitrate hexahydrate. The preparation of g-C₃N₄, CeO₂, and a binary nanostructured g-C₃N₄/CeO₂ photocatalyst was done through a facile thermal decomposition method. The structural properties were analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Photocatalyst properties were characterized by using crystal violet (CV), a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, photocurrent and electron impedan
