One pot hydrothermal method was adopted to prepare C-TiO2/g-C3N4 nanocomposite with high visible light photocatalytic activity.
The mechanism was enhancement of visible light absorption and fast separation of electron-hole pairs.
Interfacial charge transfer through CTi bond and N
Ti bond played a crucial role in separation of electron-hole pairs.
Active species h+, O2−,
OH were all generated in the photocatalytic process and
O2− played a significantly important role.
