g-C3N4/rutile-brookite TiO2-xNy forms a Z-scheme photocatalytic system.
Photogenerated electrons can efficiently transfer from rutile TiO2 to g-C3N4.
Single brookite TiO2-xNy shows lower photo-utilization efficiency than rutile-brookite mixed one.
DeNOx activities of brookite TiO2-xNy hybrids decrease with g-C3N4 amount increase.
