摘要

In this study, vanadium oxide was grafted onto graphitic carbon nitride (V2O5/gC3N4) via a simple and facile in situ method with various weight ratios of V2O5 to gC3N4. The synthesized material was characterized using various modern analytical methods, namely, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible and photoluminescence spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm, scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The characterization results reveal the uniform distribution of grafted V2O5 on the gC3N4 sheet-like structure. The anchoring of V2O5 onto gC3N4 resulted in a decrease in the bandgap value from 2.70 to 2.39 eV, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the material. The synthesized nanocomposite shows excellent degradation performance toward tetracycline, revealing its potential application for environmental remediation.
