Abstract
Photocatalysis is a promising strategy to tackle the problem of energy and pollution. To date, it is driven by external physical light sources, which are not always applicable in some practical applications. In this research, we explore the possibility of chemiluminescence as internal light to drive the photocatalysis reaction using graphitic carbon nitride as the catalyst. A biphasic reaction is employed where the light-generating reaction occurs in the oil phase, and the photocatalysis mainly takes place in the aqueous phase. This system exhibits efficient catalytic activity in degradation of rhodamine B, methyl orange, and methylene blue. The proof-of-concept design of chemiluminescence-driven photocatalysis provides an alternative strategy to address environmental issues and other photochemistry reactions.
