| Abstract: | Developing environmentally friendly methods to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has received increas-ing attention.Photocatalysis has been proved to be a sustainable technology for H2O2 production.Herein,the novel non-metal elements (B,P,and S) doped g-C3N4 tubes (B-CNT,P-CNT,and S-CNT) photocata-lysts were obtained via a hydrothermal synthesis followed by thermal polymerization.By adjusting the precursor,the yield of g-C3N4 tubes (CNT) materials has been greatly improved.The as-prepared B-CNT,P-CNT,and S-CNT photocatalysts show an enhanced photocatalytic H2O2 production with the formation rate constants values of 42.31 μM min-1,24.95μM min-1,and 24.22μM min-1,respectively,which is higher than that of bulk CN (16.40 μM min-1).The doped B,P,S elements significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity by adjusting their electronic structures and promoting the separation of electron-hole carriers.The results have shown great potential for the practical application of CNT photocatalysts. |
