Abstract

A nanoclay-induced defective graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) catalyst was successfully synthesized through intercalation and in situ calcination. The degradation time for Orange II dye using the as-synthesized g-C₃N₄/kaolinite (g-C₃N₄/Kaol) catalyst was only 10 min under visible light irradiation, which could be attributed to their special structures and synergistic effects.
