Coatings of magnetic composites of iron oxide and carbon nitride for photocatalytic water purification.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic composites of iron oxide (α-Fe₂O₃ and Fe₃O₄) and carbon nitride materials (CN) were synthesized via a microwave assisted hydrothermal method starting from iron salts and CN, which was obtained by thermal decomposition of dicyandiamide. The as-prepared composites with iron oxide loadings of 0.5 ω%-6 ω% were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy, magnetization measurements, nitrogen adsorption measurements and thermogravimetric analyzes (TGA). The composites were examined for the degradation rate of an aqueous rhodamine B (RhB) solution under visible light irradiation. The magnetic composite α-Fe₂O₃(3 ω%)/CN enables 82% degradation of RhB within 90 min. Theref
