Facile Synthesis of g‑C₃N₄/MnO₂ Composites with Dual Functional Activity of Photodegradation of Pollutants and Antimicrobial Efficacy.

ABSTRACT: Increasing environmental contamination and spread of drug-resistant microbials leading to water pollution and antimicrobial resistance is a critical issue worldwide. This study describes the synthesis of multifunctional heterojunction g-C₃N₄/MnO₂ composite as a potential photocatalyst for environmental remediation and microbial inactivation under visible light. Initially, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) was prepared by a thermal polycondensation method. Further, the multifunctional heterojunction g-C₃N₄/MnO₂ composite with uniform MnO₂ nanoparticle (NP) distribution is developed via a simple hydrothermal process. The g-C₃N₄/MnO₂ composites were examined thro
