Preparation and characterization of sulphur and zinc oxide Co-doped graphitic carbon nitride for photo-assisted removal of Safranin-O dye.

ABSTRACT: Recently, there has been significant interest in photocatalytic reactions involving graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) due to its sp²-hybridized carbon and nitrogen content and it is an ideal candidate for blending with other materials to enhance performance. Here, we have synthesized and analyzed both doped and undoped g-C₃N₄ nanoparticles. Specifically, we co-doped sulfur (S) into g-C₃N₄, integrated it with ZnO particles, and investigated the photocatalytic potential of these nanocomposites to remove Safranin-O dye. The initial step involved the preparation of pure g-C₃N₄ through calcination of urea. Subsequently, S-g-C₃N₄ was synthesized by calcining a mixture of urea
