Abstract

Abstract: Uniformly distributed single layer of ZIF67-derived C₃N₄ (ZIF67-C₃N₄) was synthesized and applied to the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light. Results indicated that the obtained ZIF67-C₃N₄has a maximum specific surface area of 541.392 m²/g, which is much larger than that of raw C₃N₄ of 97.291 m²/g. The investigation of C₃N₄ amount involved in ZIF67-C₃N₄on the photoactivity revealed that 2.57 g ZIF67 with 0.3 g C₃N₄, which named ZIF67-C₃N₄(0.3) exhibited superior photocatalytic activities. More than 90% of MB at 10 mg/L was degraded within 70 min with the addition of 0.01 g ZIF67-C₃N₄(0.3), while this time required for raw C₃N₄ was over 140 min. The effects of pH of solution, initial concentration of MB and dosage of C₃N₄ in ZIF67-C₃N₄composites on the photocatalytic efficiency for MB degradation were also evaluated. Quenching experiments indicated that the photo-induced holes (h⁺) and superoxide radicals (O^2-·) were mainly responsible for MB degradation. It is anticipated that the insertion of ZIF67 nanoparticles not only increases the adsorption capacity of C₃N₄ but also promotes the generation and migration of the photo-induced active species.
