Graphitic carbon nitride−Cupper nanohybrid as an active and recyclablephotocatalyst for degradation of Crystal violet

In this work, a new catalyst, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C۳N۴) decorated with the Cu complex as a novelphotocatalyst was synthesized and characterized. The Cu(I)/g-C۳N۴ nanoparticles form a novel class ofheterogeneous catalyst which are particularly suitable for the degradation of Crystal violet under visiblelight irradiation. High yield, low reaction times, the use of green solvents and non-toxicity of the catalystare the main merits of this protocol. This study provides a new insight for the preparation of highlyefficient photocatalysts for the degradation of organic dyes.
