Au-Ag/g-CN nanohybrids - were synthesized by the one-pot self-reduction of the organometallic precursor [AuAg(CF)(OEt)] in the presence of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN), leading to two populations of alloyed Au-Ag nanoparticles (NPs) of different size and composition on the surface of g-CN, i.e., Ag-enriched Au-Ag NPs of smaller size and Au-enriched Au-Ag NPs of larger size. The combination of these two types of plasmonic NPs with g-CN semiconductor displays enhanced photocatalytic properties towards the degradation of ibuprofen under visible light by the increased charge carrier separation provided by the inclusion of the plasmonic NPs on g-CN.

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.
