概要(目的・用途・実施内容)/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)

Ferrites are promising photocatalysts as they absorb a considerable fraction of visible light. Herein, a novel in- situ simple tactic polycondensation method was used to produce n-type porous graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets over p-type CaFe2O4 particles resulting in a quasi-polymeric heterojunction. The photocatalytic performance of synthesized g-C3N4/CaFe2O4 (gCN/CFO) was evaluated towards the photodegradation of ciprofloxacin and phenol. The gCN/CFO composite efficiently absorbed visible light and could separate and transport charge carriers through the p-n heterojunction. The surface area of the synthesized photocatalysts was measured by BET measurements. Photoluminescence spectra and photoelectrochemical characterizations. The surface oxidation states and valence band edge positions of the gCN/CFO composites were obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Moreover, it confirmed the photocatalytic reaction mechanism is a Z-scheme charge carrier transport route. based on the p-n heterojunction.

実験 / Experimental

X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were collected on a ULVAC-PHI ESCA 5800 (ULVAC-PHI, Inc., Kanagawa, Japan) spectrometer using a monochromated Al Ka ​​X-ray source operated at 200 W. Energy referencing was performed using the C 1s peak for adventitious carbon set to 284.6 eV, and peak fitting was undertaken using Casa XPS Version. The BET measurements were conducted on the BET BELSORP mini-II apparatus. 

結果と考察 / Results and Discussion

Two peaks in the spectrum of C 1s were attributed to adventitious carbon impurity (CC) and sp 2-hybridized carbon in the aromatic ring (NC=N). The N 1s spectra of gCN had main peaks at 398.6 eV and 400.8 eV, corresponding to the sp2-hybridized nitrogen (C=N–C) link in the triazine rings and bridging nitrogen in gCN. The typical Ca 2p spectra, which have two peaks at 348.9 eV and 345.4 eV correlate with the Ca 2p1/2 and Ca 2p3/2 spin states of Ca2+ in CFO. The Fe 2p peak was deconvoluted demonstrating the existence of a Fe3+3+ The O 1s spectrum is ascribed to the lattice oxygen Fe-O and Ca-O. the peak at 533.1 eV correlated to the surface-adsorbed oxygen species. These XPS results show that the resulting composite is a heterojunction with significant interaction between the two components, rather than simple physical mixing.In the BET analysis, the gCN/CFO composite showed a surface area of 47 m2g-1, and pure gCN only showed a surface area of 37 m2g-1. The surface area improved after the formation of the composite.
