Archivio istituzionale della ricerca dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, pubblicazioni, progetti, attività) adottato dall’Università di Palermo, e ha lo scopo di raccogliere, conservare, documentare, e diffondere ad accesso aperto le informazioni relative alla produzione scientifica degli autori afferenti all’Ateneo.
EnglishThe C3N4 -based nanopowders prepared by thermal condensation of melamine (MCN) with subsequent thermal etching (MCN-TE) and H2O2 -treatment were investigated by Q- and X-band EPR spectroscopy in dark and upon in situ UVA or visible-light exposure. Lorentzian signal at g = 2.003, more pronounced in the case of the thermally etched material, dominates EPR spectra of MCN and MCN-TE. More complex spectra were found for H2O2 -treated photocatalysts revealing the presence of signals attributed to the radicals produced via H2O2 interaction with C/N sites in the C3N4 polymeric network. The X-band spectra monitored upon in situ irradiation of the C3N4 -based photocatalysts evidenced the intensity growth of the single line at g = 2.0033 indicating the photoinduced generation of electrons in localized paramagnetic states with the Curie dependence on temperature in the temperature range 100–180 K. The response towards UV or visible-light exposure was significantly limited in the case of H2O2 -treated photocatalysts.
