Concerted catalytic and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants over CuS/g-C₃N₄ catalysts under light and dark conditions.

ABSTRACT: Organic pollutants in industrial and agricultural sewage are a serious threat to the environment and human health. Achieving continuous photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants under light and dark conditions would have exciting implications for practical sewage treatment. In this paper, CuS/g-C₃N₄ composite catalysts with CuS nanoparticles anchored on g-C₃N₄ sheets were successfully fabricated via a simple solvothermal reaction. The morphology, structure, optical absorption characteristics, electron-hole recombination rate, and degradation performance of the as-prepared CuS/g-C₃N₄ catalysts were investigated in detail. The results confirmed that the as-fabricated CuS/g-C₃N₄ catalysts exh
