Abstract:
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation via heterogeneous photocatalysis is effective for degrading refractory organic pollutants. However, conventional graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is limited by narrow light absorption and inefficient charge separation. Herein, leveraging the metal-chelating ability of biomass sourced lignin, C, Co co-doped g- C3N4 (LCN-Co) was successfully synthesized with enhanced photocatalytic and PMS activation performance. In the photo-PMS system, LCN-Co exhibited superior degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), with a rate constant 4.04, 2.90, and 2.35 times higher than MCN, LCN, and MCN-Co. Mechanistic studies revealed that lignin-derived carbon enhanced light harvesting and synergistically promoted charge separation with Co, thereby accelerating reactive oxygen species generation, PMS activation, and the Co2+/Co3+ redox cycle. Moreover, lignin chelation effectively suppressed Co aggregation and leaching, resulting in excellent reusability. This work demonstrates a lignin-enabled dual-regulation strategy for improving light absorption and metal stabilization in g-C3N4-based photocatalysts.
