Effect of g-C3N4 loading on TiO2/Bentonite nanocomposites for efficient heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of industrial dye under visible light

TiO2/clay nanocomposites tend to have high photocatalytic efficiency than commercial TiO2 (Degussa P25) due to their high porosity, surface area, the presence of active sites and optical transparency. However, its inactivity in the visible region of the solar spectrum makes it unsuitable for practical use. Hence, the nanocomposite of TiO2 with bentonite clay has been coupled with visible light active graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) by wet...
