摘要
This study investigated the comparative photocatalytic efficiency of metal (Fe, Co, Ni, Mn and Cr)-doped ZnO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites against MB dye. The materials were synthesised via the chemical co-precipitation method and characterised by critical analytical techniques. TEM results revealed the distinctive heterojunctions developed between g-C3N4 and metal-doped ZnO. Optical and photoelectrochemical analysis of the synthesised g-C3N4/metal-doped ZnO exhibited a redshift in light absorption and decay in electron-hole pairs recombination rate, respectively. The increase in the photocatalytic activity of the synthesised nanocomposites might be attributed to the development of exemplary interfaces between ZnO, g-C3N4 and metal dopants. In particular, g-C3N4/Mn-doped ZnO nanocomposites (MnGZ NCs) exhibited maximum photocatalytic degradation of MB (100%) after 60 min of sunlight irradiations. The MnGZ NCs showed good photocatalytic stability even after 12 consecutive cycles. The photoluminescence and reactive species scavenger test results suggest a potential MB degradation mechanism over the MnGZ NCs.
