Key Points

The study aims to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of g-C3N4 through Cu nanoparticle deposition.
Deposition of copper nanoparticles on g-C3N4 using two distinct methods: chemical reduction and DBD plasma technique.
Assessment of photocatalytic activity under visible light for Cr(vi) reduction.
Cu deposition significantly improves the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4.
Visible light-driven reduction of Cr(vi) shows enhanced efficiency with treated g-C3N4 samples.

Implication

This research demonstrates enhanced photocatalytic activity in graphitic carbon nitride, suggesting effective methods for environmental applications.

Abstract
