Implication

Demonstrates enhanced reactivity of g-C3N4 photocatalysts in water treatment, suggesting a scalable production method for better environmental outcomes.

Key Points

This research aims to enhance the reactivity of g-C3N4 photocatalysts using scalable production methods for better water treatment.
Applied liquid phase exfoliation using shear-driven techniques.
Compared reactivity of exfoliated g-C3N4 with bulk materials.
Investigated the performance of g-C3N4/MoS2 heterostructures.
Analyzed degradation of various model organic pollutants.
Achieved up to 2.5x increase in removal of organic dye pollutants compared to bulk g-C3N4.
Exfoliated g-C3N4 outperformed bulk catalysts and showed effectiveness against tough environmental pollutants.
Reactivity enhancements primarily attributed to the shear exfoliation process.
