RESUMEN
The novel synthetic SolâEPD process of a thin film including of well decorated gâC3N4 nanotubes on plateâlike hydroxyapatite (HAp) were applied. Using SolâEPD designable method anisotropic growth of HAp nanocrystals on the substrate were achieved. It has provided the orientation of the different crystal facets resulted in the photogenerated Oâvacancy from phosphate groups. Based on the studied XRD pattern, EPD deposited film of HAp was oriented along câplane that can improve the photocatalytic activity of the designed composited film. Systematic designing was applied for decoration of gâC3N4 nanotubes on the HAp under thermal condensation of melamine coincide with calcination of HAp. This new designed HAp/gâC3N4 nanofilm was shown high photocatalytic efficiency and completely degradation of persistent pollutant of 4ânitrophenol in the aqueous solution. According to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and current density studies, the higher charge separation/low charge recombination results were obtained for composited gâC3N4/HAp nanoâfilm comparing with the single films of HAp and urchin like gâC3N4. This high separation of charge pairs should be also assigned to the special designed morphology. In addition, wrapped like structure of gâC3N4 nanotubes with Câvacancy around HAp nanoplates play key role in separation of photoâinduced charge pairs, light diffusion, and high light harvesting within hollow nanotube. It can be highlighted that the composite degraded more than 95% of 4ânitrophenol during 90 min that after 5 runs the photocatalytic activity was not significantly changed.
