Overview

Experimental study demonstrates solar-driven degradation of Acid Orange 7 using exfoliated carbon nitride, revealing dual radical oxidation and photosensitization pathways.

Key Points

To investigate the solar-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of Acid Orange 7 using urea-derived exfoliated carbon nitride and determine its transformation products and reaction pathways.
Synthesized exfoliated carbon nitride (n-C3N4) photocatalysts via urea polymerization and characterized them using UV/Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and transmission electron microscopy.
Conducted photocatalytic degradation experiments of Acid Orange 7 in aqueous solutions under simulated solar light irradiation.
Identified degradation intermediates and reaction pathways using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS).
Acid Orange 7 underwent rapid decolorization and oxidation driven by radicals generated via catalyst light absorption as well as direct dye photosensitization.
Identified intermediate transformation products including aromatic and aliphatic compounds that progressively oxidized into simpler chemical species.
