Abstract

Constructing semiconductor materials based on layered graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and metal oxides can help in extending the lifetime of charge carriers and aid in resolving the low number of active sites on their surface for light-driven processes. Herein, we initially designed La2CrMnO6 nanostructures through trimesic acid-assisted auto-combustion route and subsequently, La2CrMnO6/g-C3N4 nanocomposites were prepared by ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation method with improved UV-catalytic performance. The shape, size distribution and various properties of nano-sized products were measured via diverse description systems of microscopic and spectroscopic. The photocatalytic performances of the La2CrMnO6 nanoparticles and La2CrMnO6/g-C3N4 nanocomposites were compared by degradation of artificial dyes under the UV-light region. Besides, the impacts of dye type, diverse weight percentages of g-C3N4:La2CrMnO6 in composite, scavenger kind and dye solution concentration were studied on modifying ability of nano-catalyst utility. The outcomes manifested La2CrMnO6/g-C3N4 (80:20) nanocomposites have the greatest efficiency, where the highest MO decomposition of 80.98 % was achieved at 10 ppm within 90 min of irradiation. Moreover, the feasible mechanism of MO elimination by UV catalytic purpose was considered.
