Iron-based catalysts have been widely studied for the oxidation of H S into elemental S. However, the prevention of iron sites from deactivation remains a big challenge. Herein, a facile copolymerization strategy is proposed for the construction of isolated Fe sites confined in polymeric carbon nitride (CN) (Fe-CNNχ). The as-prepared Fe-CNNχ catalysts possess unique 2D structure as well as electronic property, resulting in enlarged exposure of active sites and enhancement of redox performance. Combining systematic characterizations with density functional theory calculation, it is disclosed that the isolated Fe atoms prefer to occupy four-coordinate doping configurations (Fe-N ). Such Fe-N centers favor the adsorption and activation of O and H S. As a consequence, Fe-CNNχ exhibit excellent catalytic activity for the catalytic oxidation of H S to S. More importantly, the Fe-CNNχ catalysts are resistant to water and sulfur poisoning, exhibiting outstanding catalytic stability (over 270 h of continuous operation), better than most of the reported catalysts.

The g-C3N4/CS biosensor was designed, fabricated, and tested using compounds such as glucose, urine, lactose, and flutamide at a molarity of 10 µM, which could demonstrate a high sensitivity of 200 μm-1 for flutamide. Powerful effective medium theory and FDTD simulation were used to predict the most favorable mode and plasmonic properties of a graphite carbon nitride and chitosan nanocomposite. The research also explores the characteristics of surface plasmon resonance exhibited by the nanocomposite as the chitosan content is adjusted.

The current lack of stable, scalable, and efficient coating technology dramatically limits the exploitation of solar-driven graphitic carbon nitride (CN) photocatalysts. Herein, a unique, efficient, and scalable method is reported to immobilize CN powder on various substrates ranging from Fluorine tin oxide (FTO), glass, Plexiglas, Al foil, Ti foil, and Granite stone, to even wood. The film shows an outstanding thickness of 212 µm, which is the highest value ever reported.

Long-term inflammation and persistent bacterial infection are primary contributors to unhealed chronic wounds. The use of conventional antibiotics often leads to bacteria drug resistance, diminishing wound healing effectiveness. Nanozymes have become a promising alternative to antimicrobial materials due to their low cost, easy synthesis, and good stability.

The concurrent evolution of value-added benzimidazole compounds and hydrogen within the domain of chemical synthesis is of paramount importance. The utilization of photocatalysis enhances both the efficiency and environmental benignity of the synthetic process. However, it is profoundly challenging within a photocatalytic system to simultaneously augment the number of active sites and the internal transport rate of photogenerated charge carriers.

Fenton technology faces significant challenges due to external HO dependency and inadequate Fe regeneration. Constructing a photocatalytic self-Fenton system is a promising strategy, but it is hindered by slow charge dynamics and low mass transfer of reactant ions. Here, we present a multi-engineering co-modified carbon nitride (OCN) for efficient photocatalytic self-Fenton reactions.
