One-Step Synthesis Heterostructured g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ Composite for Rapid Degradation of Pollutants in Utilizing Visible Light.

ABSTRACT: To meet the urgent need of society for advanced photocatalytic materials, novel visible light driven heterostructured composite was constructed based on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) and fibrous TiO₂. The g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ (CNT) composite was prepared through electrospinning technology and followed calcination process. The state of the g-C₃N₄ and fibrous TiO₂ was tightly coupled. The photocatalytic performance was measured by degrading the Rhodamine B. Compared to commercial TiO₂ (P25^®) and electrospun TiO₂ nanofibers, the photocatalytic performance of CNT composite was higher than them. The formation of CNT heterostructures and the enlarged specific surface area enhanced the photocatalytic performance, suppressing the recombination rate of photogenerated carriers while broadening
