Topics on effectively improving the photochemical CO2/benzene/NO oxidation conversion performances of g-C3N4 based materials via charge transfer and separation enhancement are still considered challenging, despite growing popularity applying these in a variety energy related applications. Based idea nanoarchitectonics, post-nanotechnology concept, WOx/Au-g-C3N4 heterostructures synthesized using two-step thermal polymerization solvothermal treatment methods this paper. Small Au nanoparticles incorporated superior thin mechano-chemical pre-reaction (treated at 500 700 °C). Enhanced photocurrent density is observed after incorporation Au, which also good agreement with photocatalytic activity (H2 generation CO2 reduction) data.
