In situ synthesis and enhanced visible light photocatalytic activities of novel PANI–g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts
Abstract
Novel polyaniline–graphitic carbon nitride (PANI–g-C3N4) composite photocatalysts with different PANI:g-C3N4 ratios were synthesized by “in situ” deposition oxidative polymerization of aniline monomer in the presence of g-C3N4 powder cooled in an ice bath. The resulting PANI–g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The photoelectrochemical measurements were performed using several on–off cycles of visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic activities of the novel photocatalysts were evaluated using methylene blue as a target pollutant. The PANI–g-C3N4 composites exhibit obviously enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible light irradiation, which is much higher than that of TiO2 (P25). The synergistic effect between PANI and g-C3N4 is found to lead to an improved photo-generated carrier separation. A possible photocatalytic mechanism of PANI on the enhancement of visible light performance is proposed to guide further improvement of their photocatalytic activity.

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.
