摘要

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N5) photocatalytic efficacy could be enhanced by reducing the rate at which photogenerated electron-hole pairs recombine. This study explored the doping the impact effects of 1–4% AuWO3 nanoparticles (AuW NPs) reinforced with Polypyrole on g-C3N5 nanocomposites to improve photocatalytic performance. This nanocomposite was synthesized using a simple and inexpensive method: XRD, SEM, TEM, and UV-Vis were used to characterize physicochemical parameters. We tested AuW@g-C3N5 nanocomposites against pure g-C3N5 and their photoactivity using methylene blue (MB) for dye degradation. AuW@g-C3N5 nanocomposites with varying AuW concentrations showed better photocatalytic performance than pure g-C3N5. The 2%AuW@g-C3N5 nanocomposite is the most effective photocatalyst when photocatalysis occurs in non-polluting light of the visible light, resulting in a degradation of the target molecule of the dye by 97% in comparison with 64% in the absence of the nanocomposite (bare g-C3N5). The 2%AuW@g-C3N5/Ppy nanocomposite photodegrades 2.54 times faster than virgin g-C3N5. Our results can enable effective and cost-efficient production of AuW@g-C3N5/Ppy nanocomposites to a potent environmental remediation platform.
