摘要
Manganese and phosphorus co-doped, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheet (Mn/P-g-C3N4) is prepared by facile and green calcination process of melamine (C3H6N6), manganese chloride tetrahydrate (MnCl2·4H2O), and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate ((NH4)H2PO4). The Mn/P co-doping significantly enhances magnetic values compared to pristine-g-C3N4, phosphorus-doped g-C3N4 (P-g-C3N4), and manganese-doped g-C3N4 (Mn-g-C3N4). We find that Mn/P-g-C3N4 is a half-metallic ferromagnetic material having a magnetic moment and Curie temperature of 4.51 μB and ∼ 800 K, respectively. The ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectrum of Mn/P-g-C3N4 reveals superior absorption in broader wavelength compared to pristine-g-C3N4, P-g-C3N4, and Mn-g-C3N4. The methyl orange degradation efficiency of Mn/P-g-C3N4 photocatalyst is 94 %, which is three times more than that of pristine-g-C3N4 (29 %) and more significant than the P-g-C3N4 (46 %) and Mn-g-C3N4 (58 %). Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculation explains the origin of high magnetic behavior, the boosted photocatalytic efficiency of Mn/P-g-C3N4, and the essential material properties like structure, bandgap, the density of states (DOS), and atomic level interaction. This work may be helpful for reasonably designing ferromagnetic material for spintronics devices and boosting visible-light (VL) photocatalytic performance for environmental remediation.
