Carbon nitride-based photocatalysts for CO reduction have received great attention. The introduction of transition metals can effectively improve the photocatalytic efficiency of carbon nitride. However, how to introduce transition metals into carbon nitride in more ways remains a challenge. Herein, the Cu modified g-CN nanorod bundles (CCNBs) were prepared by chemical vapor co-deposition using the mixture of urea and chlorophyllin sodium copper salt as precursor. The prepared CCNBs exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for CO reduction. The unique hierarchical structure was beneficial to enhance light harvesting. Besides, the introduction of uniformly dispersed Cu further improved the absorption capacity of visible light, increased active sites, and promoted the separation and transfer of carriers. The CO yield of CCNBs was 5 times higher than that of bulk g-CN, and showed excellent stability in cycle experiments. This work provides a strategy to prepare carbon nitride-based photocatalysts for efficient CO reduction.

In this study, we developed a sensor based on surfactant-assisted synthesis of metallic silver-enriched nickel oxide confined on graphitic carbon nitride (Ag/NiO/g-CN)-modified electrode to construct a sensitive and selective voltammetric sensor for detecting vanillin in confectionaries samples. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analyses confirmed the crystal structure and respective functional groups of the synthesized Ag/NiO/g-CN composite. The valence states of silver, nickel, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), while energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and morphological investigations revealed the elemental distribution and nano-structured particles, respectively.

In this study, we present a novel approach using amperometric microsensors to detect quercetin in cosmetic formulations and track its metabolic behavior after topical application. This method offers a sensitive, real-time alternative to conventional techniques, enabling the detection of quercetin's bioavailability, its transformation into active metabolites, and its potential therapeutic effects when applied to the skin. Quercetin (Q) is a bioactive flavonoid known for its potent antioxidant properties, naturally present in numerous plants, particularly those with applications in cosmetic formulations.

Nanocomposite polymer coatings are being used as a new generation of marine antibiofouling coatings because of their toxin-free chemical composition and ease of large-scale adoption. Cellulose nanocrystal (CN) exhibits significant potential for composite reinforcement. Herein, CN was surface-modified via α,ω-bis(3-(2-hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS), resulting in dihydroxyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane)-grafted CN (HP-g-CN).

The selective and sensitive detection of Al(III) is critically important for human health since the level of Al(III) is an indicator of many diseases in humans. Herein, we developed a simple and sensitive fluorescent sensor for the detection of Al(III) in an aqueous solution based on the fluorescence of hydroxyl-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (HO/g-CN). OH/g-CN nanosheets were synthesized the thermal pyrolysis of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (as raw material) at 550 °C for 2 hours, followed by thermal alkali treatment at 730 °C for 2 min.

Semiconductor-based remediation enables environmentally friendly methods of removing aqueous pollutants. Simply fabricated ZnO modified g-CN composites were utilized as bifunctional adsorptive photocatalysts for orange II removal from aqueous solution through adsorption and photocatalysis processes. The adsorption isotherm data of the g-CN (g-CN) and ZnO modified g-CN (ZCN) composites on orange II solution were better fitted with the Langmuir isotherm compared to the Freundlich isotherm.
