Abstract
- In this study, K2Ti6O13 (KTO) nanowires were doped with carbon (CKTO) via a novel solid-phase approach at 800∘C for the first time using ethanol, KF, and TiO2. In addition to the lower sintering temperature, a shorter insulation period was achieved compared to the conventional solid-phase method. Furthermore, by combining and calcining CKTO and g-C3N4, a CKTO/g-C3N4 heterojunction composite was produced. The rate at which CKTO/g-C3N4 photocatalytically degraded methylene blue was higher than those of pure CKTO and g-C3N4. Our study indicates that adding g-C3N4 enhances photocatalytic performance by reducing the recombination rate of photogenerated electron–hole pairs and narrowing the bandgap of the CKTO/g-C3N4 heterostructure. This paper presents a novel method for creating KTO composites in an eco-friendly and productive manner for the photocatalytic degradation of organic colors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
