Construction of novel Ag/HKUST-1/g-C₃N₄ towards enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of pollutants under visible light.

ABSTRACT: A novel Ag/metal-organic framework/graphitic carbon nitride (Ag/HKUST-1/g-C₃N₄, AHC) photocatalyst was prepared via an in situ growth strategy and photo-deposition technique for environmental remediation. The as-obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherm measurement, UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results indicated that the hybrids have large surface area, mesoporous structure and enhanced visible-light absorption. The as-prepared hybrid samples exhibited considerable improvement in photocatalytic activity and
