Abstract:"Novel visible-light-driven graphitic carbon nitride (g-C(3)N(4))/WO(3) composite photocatalysts were prepared, and the acetaldehyde (CH(3)CHO) degradation activity of these composites was evaluated. The prepared g-C(3)N(4)/WO(3) composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV-vis), and the N(2) gas adsorption Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method (N(3)-BET). The WO(3) particles, which were 100-300 nm in size, were in direct contact with the g-C(3)N(4) sheet surface. The optical band gap and specific surface area of the g-C(3)N(4)/WO(3) composites were in the range of 2.65-2.75 eV and 4-7 m(2)/g, respectively. The g-C(3)N(4)/WO(3) composites exhibited higher activity for the photodegradation of CH(3)CHO under visible light irradiation compared to g-C(3)N(4). The optimal WO(3) content for the CH(3)CHO photodegradation activity of the heterojunction structures was determined. The synergistic effect of g-C(3)N(4) and WO(3) was considered to lead to improved photogenerated carrier separation. A possible degradation mechanism of CH(3)CHO over the g-C(3)N(4)/WO(3) composite photocatalyst under visible light irradiation was proposed. These results should usefully expand applications of g-C(3)N(4) as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst"
