Abstract

Abstract: g-C3 N4 and flowerlike ZnO organic–inorganic composite with varying the content of ZnO has been synthesized through facile mixing and heating method. The as-prepared ZnO samples were characterized by SEM images and BET surface area measurements and etc.The composite catalysts were characterized by BET surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction and etc. Under visible light irradiation, the activity of composite photocatalystg-C3 N4 and flowerlike ZnO organic–inorganic composite with 60% or 80% g-C3 N4 for photo-degradation of MO is higher than that of either single-phase flowerlike ZnO org-C3 N4 . The as-prepared g-C3 N4 and flowerlike ZnO organic – inorganic composite exhibits an improved photo-degradation performance for MO due to the enhancement of electron–hole separation.
