Electrospinning preparation of g-C₃N₄/Nb₂O₅ nanofibers heterojunction for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water.

ABSTRACT: In this study, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) and niobium pentoxide nanofibers (Nb₂O₅ NFs) heterojunction was prepared by means of a direct electrospinning approach combined with calcination process. The characterizations confirmed a well-defined morphology of the g-C₃N₄/Nb₂O₅ heterojunction in which Nb₂O₅ NFs were tightly attached onto g-C₃N₄ nanosheets. Compared to pure g-C₃N₄ and Nb₂O₅ NFs, the as-prepared g-C₃N₄/Nb₂O₅ heterojunction exhibited remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity for degradation of rhodamine B and phenol under visible light irradiation.
