The invention relates to modified
nitrogen-rich
carbon nitride as well as a preparation method and photocatalytic application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing
nitrogen-rich
carbon nitride and fused salt, and performing secondary
calcination to obtain an intermediate; the secondary calcining temperature is 550 DEG C to 600 DEG C; the fused salt comprises a
potassium source; and washing and
drying the intermediate to obtain the modified
nitrogen-rich
carbon nitride. According to the invention,
potassium ion doping modification is carried out in nitrogen-rich carbon
nitride, so that the nitrogen-rich carbon
nitride has stronger
photon-generated carrier separation and transmission capability because the internal transmission resistance is reduced due to high
crystallinity of KC3N5 and K < + > is successfully introduced to serve as a
transmission channel for interlayer
electron transfer, after introduction of K < + >, Eb of C3N5 is significantly reduced,
exciton dissociation and generation of
photon-generated carriers are facilitated, and the performance of the material is improved. The effect of producing H2O2 through
photocatalysis of the KC3N5 is enhanced; when the photocatalyst is applied to photocatalytic production of H2O2, the
production rate of H2O2 can reach up to 117 times of that of C3N5, and the photocatalyst has excellent photocatalytic stability, can efficiently produce H2O2 in a wide
pH range, and is suitable for various complex water substrates to remarkably improve the
production rate of H2O2.
