2D/2D g-C3N4/MnO2 Nanocomposite as a Direct Z-Scheme Photocatalyst for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity
Abstract
Constructing two-dimensional (2D) composites using layered materials is considered to be an effective approach to achieve high-efficiency photocatalysts. Herein, a 2D/2D g-C 3 N 4 /MnO 2 heterostructured photocatalyst was synthesized via in situ growth of MnO 2 nanosheets on the surface of g-C 3 N 4 nanolayers using a wet-chemical method. The hybrid nanomaterial was characterized by a range of techniques to study its micromorphology, structure, chemical composition/states, and so on. The g-C 3 N 4 /MnO 2 nanocomposite exhibited greatly improved photocatalytic activities for dye degradation and phenol removal in comparison to the single g-C 3 N 4 or MnO 2 component. On the basis of the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectra, and the Mott–Schottky measurements, we consider that a Z-scheme heterojunction was generated between the g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets and MnO 2 nanosheets, wherein the photoinduced electrons in MnO 2 combined with the holes in g-C 3 N 4, leading to enhanced charge carrier extraction and utilization upon photoexcitation. This work provides an effective approach to construct the 2D/2D heterojunctions for the application in solar-to-fuel conversion and photocatalytic water treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
