By
adjusting the type and proportion of doping elements in the g-C
3N
4-based
photocatalyst, the internal electric field (IEF) strength of the semiconductor
can be regulated. This can effectively enhance the driving force of charge
separation in the photocatalytic process. It is found that the introduction of
appropriate concentration of Bi and S into the skeleton structure of g-C
3N
4 can achieve efficient degradation of tetracycline
(TC) and other pollutants in the liquid environment and excellent
photocatalytic H
2 evolution performance (1139 μmol·L
-1·h
-1).
Since the prepared samples have similar crystal structures, the relative
strength of IEF can be calculated. It can be used as the basis for adjusting
the IEF strength of g-C
3N
4-based semiconductor by element
doping. In addition, the Bi and S co-doped g-C
3N
4 samples
after solvothermal reflux show good chemical stability and can reduce the
nanostructure defects caused by co-doping of heteroatoms, thus it provides a
novel solution for the construction of g-C
3N
4-based
dual-function photocatalyst with high activity and stability.
