Reusable isotype heterojunction g-C₃N₄/alginate hydrogel spheres for photocatalytic wastewater treatment.

ABSTRACT: Various visible-light-driven photocatalysts have been studied for practical applications in photocatalytic wastewater treatment via solar irradiation. Among them, g-C₃N₄ has attractive features, including its metal-free and environmentally friendly nature; however, it is prone to charge recombination and has low photocatalytic activity. To solve these problems, isotype heterojunction g-C₃N₄ was recently developed; however, the methods employed for synthesis suffered from limited reproducibility and efficiency. In this study, isotype heterojunction g-C₃N₄ was synthesized from various combinations of precursor materials using a planetary ball mill. The isotype heterojunction g-C₃N₄ synthesized from
