More Details: In this study, to enhance the photodegradation of organic pollutants including Methyl blue (MB) and Methyl orange (MO), mesoporous tubular g-C3N4/γ-Fe2O3 (FCN) nano-composite synthesized via facile procedures. FT-IR and XRD data proved the existence of maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles on the g-C3N4 nano-tubes. Experimental data showed that among fabricated photocatalysts, FCN exhibited the highest activity rate toward the photodegradation of MB (%96.1/60 min) and MO (%98.3/120 min) with an excellent kinetic rate of 0.0509 min−1 (MB) and 0.0352 min−1 (MO) under visible light and considerable photocatalytic stability after six cycles. In addition, the visible light-harvesting-capability of FCN enhanced compared to unequipped forms of g-C3N4 (BCN and CNNTs), surprisingly functioning under irradiation of photons greater than 900 nm, proving the synergistic role of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles not only in harvesting visible light but also in hindering electron-hole recombination. BET analysis showed mesoporous structure, the highest SSA and pore volume (55.623 m2/g, 0.1699 cm3/g) for FCN, indicating more active sites and enhanced target molecules adsorption, then augmented photocatalytic performance in comparison to the rest of the samples. Finally, FCN generated an excellent photocurrent density (3.76 μA/cm2) with the least arc radius, introducing a high-potential hybrid photocatalyst to the research field.
