研究目的
To develop a simple modification strategy for improving the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 by constructing a worm-like porous nanostructure using ammonium lauryl sulfate as a gaseous bubble template, aimed at enhancing visible light photocatalytic performance for environmental remediation.
研究成果
The ALS-mediated synthesis successfully produced worm-like porous g-C3N4 with enhanced specific surface area, improved light absorption, and suppressed charge recombination, leading to superior photocatalytic degradation of RhB and phenol under visible light. The main active species are holes and superoxide anions. The photocatalyst shows good stability and potential for environmental applications, with recommendations for future work on scaling up and exploring other contaminants.
研究不足
The study is limited to laboratory-scale synthesis and testing; scalability to industrial applications may require optimization. The use of specific contaminants (RhB and phenol) may not represent all pollutants. The method's effectiveness depends on the optimal amount of ALS template, and excessive amounts can reduce performance due to light penetration issues.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a gaseous bubble templating approach using ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) to synthesize worm-like porous g-C3N4. The rationale was to create a porous structure for improved surface area and photocatalytic activity. Theoretical models include bandgap energy calculations and charge carrier dynamics.

2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: Samples were synthesized with different mass ratios of ALS to melamine (1%, 2%, 4%). Bulk g-C3N4 was prepared as a control. Data sources include characterization techniques like XRD, UV-vis DRS, SEM, TEM, FTIR, XPS, BET, PL, EPR, and photocatalytic degradation tests.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included melamine (C3H6N6) and ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) from Aladdin Chemical Reagent Corp., DI water. Equipment: Rigaku D/MAX 2550 VB/PC for XRD, Varian Cary 500 UV-vis spectrophotometer, Nova Nano SEM 450 SEM, JEM2000EX TEM, Nicolet Magna 550 FTIR spectrometer, PerkinElmer PHI 5000C ESCA XPS system, ASAP2020 BET analyzer, Shimadzu RF-5301 spectrofluorophotometer for PL, FLSP920 Edinburgh Fluorescence Spectrometer for time-resolved PL, Bruker EMX Plus-10/12 EPR spectrometer, 300 W Xe lamp with cutoff filter for photocatalytic tests, UV-vis spectrophotometer for RhB concentration, Agilent 1260 HPLC for phenol concentration.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved dissolving ALS in water, adding melamine, stirring at 80°C to dry, milling, heating at 520°C for 2h, then 600°C for 3h. Photocatalytic tests: 50 mL of RhB or phenol solution with catalyst, dark stirring for 0.5h for adsorption equilibrium, irradiation with Xe lamp, sampling at intervals, centrifugation, and concentration measurement.
