Synergistic efficiency of modified banana leaf derived cellulose-g-C₃N₄ hybrid composite: a sustainable approach for visible-light-driven photodegradation of dyes.

ABSTRACT: The adverse effects on human health and water supplies due to widespread use of dyes including methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B necessitate their removal. Photocatalytic decontamination offers an alternative method which is cost effective and ecofriendly compared to other costly dye removal processes. The combination of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) and cellulose from readily available modified banana leaves (MBLC) has not been explored for color degradation. The present work investigates the application of a promising g-C₃N₄-MBLC composite for the photocatalytic removal of methylene blue and rhodamine B dyes. The two-component hybrid composite was synthesized utilizing the one-pot in situ thermal polymerization techniques. Furtherm
