Gd Encapsulation on 2D-g-CN Nanostructure for Spintronics and Ultrasound Assisted Photocatalytic Applications: First-Principles and Experimental Studies.

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have high potential in optoelectronics and magneto-optics appliances due to their tunable band structures and physicochemical stability. The work demonstrates that Gd incorporated 2D-g-CN nanosheet (Gd/2D-g-CN NS) is synthesized through chemisorption methodology for defect enrichment. The material characterizations reveal that the ion decoration enhances the surface area and defect concentration of the 2D sheet.

Dimensionality effects of g-CN from wettability to solar light assisted self-cleaning and electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction.

Unique interfacial properties of 2D materials make them more functional than their bulk counterparts in a catalytic application. In the present study, bulk and 2D graphitic carbon nitride nanosheet (bulk g-CN and 2D-g-CN NS) coated cotton fabrics and nickel foam electrode interfaces have been applied for solar light-driven self-cleaning of methyl orange (MO) dye and electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively. Compared to bulk, 2D-g-CN coated interfaces show higher surface roughness (1.

A facile and green synthesis of Mn and P functionalized graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets for spintronics devices and enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible-light.

Manganese and phosphorus co-doped, graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanosheet (Mn/P-g-CN) is prepared by facile and green calcination process of melamine (CHN), manganese chloride tetrahydrate (MnCl·4HO), and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate ((NH)HPO). The Mn/P co-doping significantly enhances magnetic values compared to pristine-g-CN, phosphorus-doped g-CN (P-g-CN), and manganese-doped g-CN (Mn-g-CN). We find that Mn/P-g-CN is a half-metallic ferromagnetic material having a magnetic moment and Curie temperature of 4.
