ZnO/g-C3N4 heterojunction modified with Ag nanoparticles (ZnO/CN/Ag) was synthesized by depositing ZnO nanorods/Ag onto g-C3N4 nanosheets. Under xenon lamp irradiation, 99% of Rhodamine B (RhB) degraded ZnO/CN/Ag-5% composite within 30 min, which much higher than the degradation efficiency and ZnO/CN. The synergistic effect ZnO, along localized surface plasmon resonance NPs, contributes to improvement photocatalytic performance. nanoparticle provides another charge transfer path from speeds up separation electron-hole pairs. Meanwhile, catalyst had good stability recyclability. Finite-difference time-domain method density functional theory were used obtain process. photodegradation process has been studied in depth.

The persistent threat of heavy metal ions (e.g., Pb2+, Hg2+, Cd2+) in aqueous environments to human health underscores an urgent need for advanced sensing platforms capable rapid and precise pollutant monitoring. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), a metal-free polymeric semiconductor, has emerged as revolutionary material constructing next-generation environmental sensors due its exceptional physicochemical properties, including tunable electronic structure, high chemical/thermal stability, large surface area, unique optical characteristics. This review systematically explores the integration g-C3N4 with functional nanomaterials nanoparticles, oxide nanomaterials, carbonaceous materials, conduction polymer) engineer high-performance interfaces detection. structure-property relationship is critically analyzed, emphasizing how morphology engineering (nanofibers, nanosheets, mesoporous) functionalization strategies enhance sensitivity selectivity. Advanced detection mechanisms are elucidated, electrochemical signal amplification, photoinduced electron transfer processes enabled by g-C3N4’s tailored bandgap active sites. Furthermore, this addresses challenges real-world deployment, such scalable nanomaterial synthesis, matrix interference mitigation, long-term reliable work provides valuable insights advancing g-C3N4-based technologies toward sustainable monitoring intelligent pollution control systems.
