Semiconductor-metal-semiconductor TiO₂@Au/g-C₃N₄ interfacial heterojunction for high performance Z-scheme photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: We designed an edge-sites 2D/0D/2D based TiO₂@Au/g-C₃N₄ Z-scheme photocatalytic system consists of highly exposed (001) TNSs@Au edge-site heterojunction, and the Au/g-C₃N₄ interfacial heterojunction. The designed photocatalyst was prepared by a facile and controlled hydrothermal synthesis strategy via in-situ nanoclusters-to-nanoparticles deposition technique and programable calcination in N₂ atmosphere to get edge-site well-crystalline interface, followed by chemically bonded thin overlay of g-C₃N₄. Photocatalytic performance of the prepared TNSs@Au/g-C₃N₄ catalyst was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water under visible light irradiation
