Abstract:
The integration of photocatalytic wastewater treatment with solar-driven hydrogen (H2) evolution offers a clean and sustainable solution for wastewater treatment by simultaneously purifying wastewater and generating clean energy. Consequently, this method has garnered increasing attention. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been extensively used in photocatalysis, attributed to its abundant source and suitable bandgap. However, the difficulty of separating and migrating photogenerated carriers hinders its wider application. In this study, P-doped and cyano (CN)-modified g-C3N4 nanotubes (IL-CNX) were synthesized by combining supramolecular self-assembly and high-temperature calcination, using ionic liquids as soft templates. The P-doped and CN-modified effectively suppress carrier recombination. As a result, IL-CN3 efficiently degrades BPA and evolves H2, thereby achieving the dual objectives of BPA degradation and energy conversion.
