Abstract Supermolecules were prepared using melamine and cyanuric acid as precursors through self-assembly process in dimethyl sulfoxide, which were then undertaken thermal polycondensation reaction to synthesize a two-dimensional (2D) photocatalyst with flower-like morphology. Various characterizations, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoelectrochemical measurements, indicate that the fabricated photocatalyst is graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4, SCN). In addition, compared with the bulk g-C3N4 prepared by traditional thermal polycondensation method, SCN exhibites a higher light absorption capability and lower bandgap due to its ultrathin and uniform structure composition. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculation deeply reveals the mechanism of the photocatalytic reactions on SCN. The unique ultrathin carbon nitride sheet and channel structure of SCN can suppress the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs. Sulfachloropyridazine (SCP), a common active pharmaceutical pollutant in wastewater, was taken as the target pollutant in this study. After 45 min irradiation under simulated solar light by SCN, the removal efficiency of SCP reaches up to 100%, and the pseudo first-order kinetic constant (k=0.085 min-1) of SCP degradation is about twice that of bulk g-C3N4. This study provides a theoretical guidance for development of photocatalysis technology which can be applied to the purification of pharmaceuticals contaminated wastewater, and also provides a reference for development of new photocatalysts.
