Abstract

This paper reviews recent advances in the use of graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based composite photocatalysts for antibiotic and dye degradation and hydrogen production. It also discusses the structure, synthesis, modification, morphology, doping, preparation, and application of a particular subject and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of different morphologies and preparation processes. The photocatalysts based on g-C3N4-based composites have demonstrated great potential. The g-C3N4 has been modified and tailored into various novel structures and morphologies to improve its efficiency in the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. The techniques such as doping, metal deposition, heterojunction formation, and structural tuning enhance the rate of light absorption, charge transfer, and charge separation of g-C3N4. This leads to improved photocatalytic performance for antibiotic and dye degradation and hydrogen production.
