Solar Light-Irradiated Photocatalytic Degradation of Model Dyes and Industrial Dyes by a Magnetic CoFe₂O₄-gC₃N₄ S-Scheme Heterojunction Photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic CoFe₂O₄-gC₃N₄ nanocomposites were successfully synthesized, and their photocatalytic activities toward the decomposition of model synthetic dyes (e.g., methylene blue, methyl orange, and Congo red) in the presence of H₂O₂ were evaluated under simulated solar light irradiation. The 50CoFe₂O₄-50gC₃N₄ nanocomposite exhibited the highest catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of 50CoFe₂O₄-50gC₃N₄ toward the photodegradation of some industrially used dyes (such as Drimaren Turquoise CL-B p, Drimaren Yellow CL-2R p, and Drimaren Red CL-5B p) was also examined, and the catalyst exhibited its capability to decompose the industrial dy
