Fabrication of spherical-graphitic carbon nitride via hydrothermal method for enhanced photo-degradation ability towards antibiotic

T Muhmood, A Uddin - Chemical Physics Letters, 2020 - Elsevier
Graphitic-carbon nitride with spherical morphology (SCN) was synthesized via very simple
one step solvothermal method. Prepared photocatalyst was carefully analyzed by different
techniques such as FTIR-infrared spectra, XPS, X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and
transmission electron microscopy. These analysis results indicated that the synthesized
material possess the structure of graphitic carbon nitride with a novel morphology. The
degradation ability of spherical gC 3 N 4 was checked by degrading an antibiotic (ie …
