The photocatalytic performance of the ZnO/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst toward degradation of organic pollutants and its inactivity toward hydrogen evolution: The influence of light irradiation and charge transfer

In the present work, ZnO/g-C3N4 photocatalysts were synthesized via a simple calcination method. The physical properties of the obtained ZnO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites were characterized by various physicochemical techniques. The photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts was investigated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) under visible light irradiation. Especially, the photocatalytic efficiency was the highest...
