Graphitic carbon nitride hybridized with a small number of carbon nanotubes (CNT) was synthesized using urea as precursor. The resulting CNT/g-C₃N₄ composite photocatalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible-near infrared Reflection Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). Results indicate that the synergistic interaction between CNT and g-C₃N₄ changed the optical properties of bulk g-C₃N₄, affected the energy band structure, enhanced the absorption of visible light, optimized the distribution of the photogenerated carrier and improved the electron-hole separation rate. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B solution (RhB) was performed under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of CNT/g-C₃N₄ composite was the highest when 0.1%(w/w) CNT was loaded on the substrate, the rate constant for the photocatalyst was 3.1 times as high as that of pure g-C₃N₄. It was also found that the superoxide radical was the main active species for catalytic degradation in this system.
