摘要
The paper reviews graphitic carbon nitride–based nanostructured photocatalytic materials and nanofibres for applications in water purification. Titanium dioxide has shown unique features that continue to attract research and development (R&D) due to its unique properties such as availability, ultraviolet absorptivity, photocatalysis, adsorption of pollutants and solar cell engineering. Graphitic carbon nitride is an attractive photocatalyst due to its non-toxicity characteristics, good visible light absorption and good thermal and chemical stabilities. In water purification, nanofibres are currently noticed due to their distinctive properties of effective separation and sometimes elimination of organic pollutants in water. In this review, synthesis and utility of doped titanium dioxide and carbon nitride with metal nanoparticles and polymeric nanofibres from nanocomposites as effective materials for the degradation of organic contaminations from water are discussed. The history, current trends and future perspectives are highlighted.
