Summary: In this study, a g-C3N4/PDI-g-C3N4 homojunction was fabricated for piezo-photocatalytic atrazine removal, demonstrating superior performance compared to individual photocatalysis or piezocatalysis. The introduction of PDI facilitated electron migration and enhanced piezoelectricity, with the homojunction promoting photoelectron transfer. The porous structure of the g-C3N4/PDI-g-C3N4 was found to be essential for the enhanced piezoelectricity, leading to a high atrazine degradation rate and H2O2 production during the piezo-photocatalytic process.

Summary: The widespread use of antibiotics has led to serious environmental issues, and there is an urgent need for new treatments to remove these substances from wastewater. In this study, a new approach using the NiFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterostructure was proposed to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light (VL) for degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in simulated wastewater. The NiFe2O4/g-C3N4/PMS/VL system effectively removed TCH over a wide pH range and in the presence of various anions commonly found in wastewater. The superior degradation performance of the composite was attributed to the synergistic effect between heterojunction photocatalysis and PMS activation, generating highly oxidizing species that effectively degraded TCH. Additionally, the magnetic properties of the heterostructure facilitated separation and reuse of the photocatalyst.

Summary: In this study, modified IL-CN materials were successfully synthesized and their photocatalytic activities for Cr(VI) reduction were tested. The results showed that the modified IL-CN materials exhibited larger specific surface area and pore volume, and stronger electron-hole pair separation capacities, leading to excellent catalytic activity. Acidic conditions and relatively higher dosage of IL-CN were conducive to Cr(VI) reduction.
