Nitrogen-deficient g-C3N4 photodegradation of rhodamine B
The g-C3N4 photocatalyst materials with nitrogen defects were prepared by a simple one-step calcination method,and the crystallinity,morphology,characteristic functional groups and optical properties of the prepared photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and Ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance absorption spectroscopy(UV-vis).The photocatalytic properties of the prepared photocatalysts were also investigated by photodegradation of Rhodamine B.The corresponding experimental results show that ND-g-C3N4 has excellent photodegradation performance when the concentration of rhodamine B is 10 mg/L and the amount of catalyst is 20 mg,and the photodegradation efficiency of Rhodamine B reaches 100%within 20 min.This indicates that the introduction of defects will effectively improve the light absorption range of pristine g-C3N4,promote the separation of photogenerated electron and hole pairs,and enhance photocatalytic efficiency.This study provides some theoretical guidance value for the treatment of organic pollutants and some practical application prospects.
