Synergistically homogeneous-heterogeneous Fenton catalysis of trace copper ion and g-C3N4 for degradation of organic pollutants
Using the bulk g-C3N4 as a precursor, four g-C3N4 nanosheets were further prepared by ultrasonic, thermal, acid, and alkali exfoliation. The structures of these materials were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning elec...

This synergistic effect can be observed even when the concentration of Cu2+ was as low as 0.064 mg L−1. The properties of g-C3N4 strongly influenced the catalytic activity of the Cu2+/g-C3N4 system.
