Boosting Photocatalytic Performance of ZnO Nanowires via Building Heterojunction with Conjugated 2,4,6-Triaminopyrimidine-g-C₃N₄

Photocatalysis is one of the most effective ways to solve environmental problems by solving pollutants. This article designed and prepared a conjugated system of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine-g-C₃N₄ (TAP-CN) to modify ZnO NWs. We systematically studied the photocatalytic performance of ZnO NWs modified with different ratios of TAP-CN. The results showed that 9 wt% TAP-CN-30/ZnO NWs had the best degradation effect on Rhodamine B dye. The degradation rate was 99.36% in 80 min. The excellent degradation performance was attributed to the TAP-CN conjugated system promoting photo-generated charge transfer. This work provided guidance for designing efficient composite catalysts for application in other renewable energy fields.
