摘要
Photocatalytic degradation is one of the most promising remediation technologies in terms of advanced oxidation processes(AOPs) for water treatment. In this study, novel graphitic carbon nitride/titanium dioxide(gC3N4/Ti O2) composites were synthesized by a facile sonication method. The physicochemical properties of the photocatalyst with different mass ratios of g-C3N4 to Ti O2 were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), N2 sorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), and UV–vis DRS. The photocatalytic performances were evaluated by degradation of methylene blue. It was found that g-C3N4/Ti O2 with a mass ratio of 1.5:1 exhibited the best degradation performance. Under UV, the degradation rate of g-C3N4/Ti O2 was 6.92 and 2.65 times higher than g-C3N4 and Ti O2, respectively. While under visible light, the enhancement factors became 9.27(to g-C3N4) and 7.03(to Ti O2). The improved photocatalytic activity was ascribed to the interfacial charge transfer between g-C3N4 and Ti O2. This work suggests that hybridization can produce promising solar materials for environmental remediation.
