Abstract

In this paper, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were loaded on pure g-C3N4 (CN) via two different methods of direct heating and indirect heating to form g-C3N4/Ag-DX and g-C3N4/Ag-IDX photocatalysts, respectively. Using methylene blue as the degradation dye, the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4/Ag-DX and g-C3N4/Ag-IDX was studied through visible light photocatalysis experiments. The results demonstrated that the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4/Ag-DX and g-C3N4/Ag-IDX both increases with the increase in content of Ag nanoparticles. It is obvious that g-C3N4/Ag-ID8 has the optimal photocatalytic activity. Meanwhile, the g-C3N4/Ag-ID8 has excellent stability and can be reused in photocatalysis experiments.
