Abstract

Abstract:

Fe-containing graphitic carbon nitride (Fe-g-C₃N₄) materials were synthesized via one-step pyrolysis of FeCl₃ and dicyandiamide. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized Fe-g-C₃N₄ samples were characterized by N₂ adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric, Fourier transform infrared, UV-vis diffuse reflectance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The Fe cations were anchored by nitrogen-rich g-C₃N₄, whereas the graphitic structures of g-C₃N₄ were retained after the introduction of Fe. As heterogeneous catalysts, Fe-g-C₃N₄ exhibited good catalytic activity in the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol with H₂O₂, affording a maximum yield of phenol of up to 17.5%. Compared with other Fe-and V-containing g-C₃N₄ materials, Fe-g-C₃N₄ features a more convenient preparation procedure and higher catalytic productivity of phenol.

Key words: Benzene, Hydroxylation, Graphitic carbon nitride, Phenol
