Abstract:
Enhancing the photocatalytic performance of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 , GCN) and titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) has played a key role in the energy and environmental protection research community. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the synergy of both materials with carbon nanostructures for photocatalysis. Among the variety of carbon materials, graphene flakes and nanotubes, as nanoadditives to improve electron charge transfer and the optical absorption behavior in the visible-light region, have been widely explored. Thus, flake-like (2 D) and tubular (1 D) carbon structures in composition with GCN and/or TiO2 are reviewed, as are their photocatalytic response. Current trends clearly indicate that this type of molecular hybrids can be efficiently exploited in this field. This Minireview covers state-of-the-art research over the period of 2015 to 2018.
