Water hyacinth derived carbon quantum dots and g-C3N4 composites for sunlight driven photodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol
摘要： Carbon dots (CDs) were successfully derived from water hyacinth leaves and the binary composite was achieved by incorporating CDs with g-C3N4 through hydrothermal treatment. The average particle size of CDs was found to be 3.1 nm and a blue-green fluorescence was emitted under the UV light irradiation. Both of the composites loaded with 20 wt.% (20CDs/g-C3N4) and 40 wt.% (40CDs/g-C3N4) of CDs achieved the highest degradation efficiency of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) with 1.7 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4. This work successfully improved the properties of g-C3N4 by elongating the lifetime of photogenerated electrons and widening the visible light response. Both of 20CDs/g-C3N4 and 40CDs/g-C3N4 recorded the highest photocatalytic performance in degrading 2,4-DCP with degradation rate constant of 0.0194, and 0.0186 min?1, respectively. This is contributed by the prolonged charge carrier lifetime in 20CDs/g-C3N4; good visible light absorption and high specific surface area in 40CDs/g-C3N4. For the scavenger test, hole (h+) and superoxide radical (·O2?) were acknowledged as the key active species in photocatalysis.

Bioinspired Synthesis of Carbon Dots/g-C <sub/>3</sub> N <sub/>4</sub> Nanocomposites for Photocatalytic Application
摘要： This study reports a fast and green preparative strategy to synthesize water soluble and fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) through hydrothermal method by using low cost organic waste of human fingernails as the carbon precursor for the first time. The coupling of CQD with pure carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was further explored to enhance the latter’s performance in photocatalysis of 2,4-dicholorophenol (2,4-DCP), a toxic and recalcitrant compound mostly released from industrial effluent. Such coupling overcame the weakness of pure g-C3N4 in photocatalysis process by broadening its visible light absorption and promoting the charge separation. As a result, the removal rate of CQD/ g-C3N4(10) was up to 71.53%, which was approximately 1.5 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4 under sunlight irradiation. The morphological structure, optical properties and chemical compositions of CQDs/g-C3N4 composites were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) and Ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-DRS).

Graphene oxide enwrapped polyimide composites with efficient photocatalytic activity for 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation under visible light irradiation
摘要： In this study, graphene oxide (GO) enwrapped polyimide (PI) composite photocatalyst was prepared via a facile ultrasonic chemical method. The as-synthesized GO/PI hybrid composite can serve as a stable metal-free photocatalyst for 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation under visible-light irradiation. After loading of GO, the GO/PI composites displayed enhanced photocatalytic performance. The apparent rate constant for 2,4-DCP degradation of the composites was approximately 4.5 times as high as that of bare PI. The results of radical trapping experiments and electron spin resonance indicated that the photogenerated hole (h+) and O2? were the main responsible for the 2,4-DCP degradation. The energy band diagram derived from Mott-Schottky and UV–vis diffuse absorption spectra revealed that the formed heterojunction between PI and GO is type-II. The formed heterojunction with well matched energy levels leads to an efficient injection of photoinduced electrons from PI to GO, and facilitates the separation of photoinduced charge carrier. The combined transient photocurrent and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results further verified the enhancement was mainly ascribed to the improved charge carrier separation performance of composite.
