dc.description.abstractThe doping or co-doping of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with other elements is a useful modification technique that overcomes the disadvantages of the base material and enhances its photocatalytic performance. In this study, K and P were successfully incorporated into g-C3N4 using a one-step, single-precursor (K2HPO4) synthesis method. The incorporation of K and P was confirmed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry and wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Oxytetracycline (OTC) degradation rates were compared with and without elemental doping and with variation in the precursor content. In contrast to the low OTC degradation rate exhibited by pristine g-C3N4 (29.52 ± 0.03%), incorporating K and P into g-C3N4 greatly improved OTC degradation, with the sample produced using 100 mg of the precursor K2HPO4 (KPCN-100) achieving the highest degradation rate (99.43 ± 0.53%). The effects of the co-dopants K and P on the optical, photoelectrochemical properties, and band position of g-C3N4 were also investigated. Scavenging and N2 purging tests confirmed that reactive species, including O2•- (87.25%) and 1O2 (56.53%), played an important role in the degradation of OTC. In addition, several experimental parameters, including the presence of co-existing ions and humic acid, the pH level, the initial OTC concentration, and the photocatalyst dosage, were varied to better understand the photodegradation mechanisms at work within the KPCN-100 system. The stability of KPCN-100 and the toxicity assessment of the OTC intermediate were also conducted to evaluate their potential for environmental applications. Overall, this study demonstrates a simple synthesis method for the elemental co-doping of g-C3N4, offering an effective photocatalytic strategy that can greatly enhance the efficiency of OTC degradation.-
