Abstract

Background: In this report, the layered g-CN/SnS composite was successfully fabricated by a facile hydrothermal route. Methods: The ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy data presented that such layered g-CN/SnS catalysts showed a remarkable visible-light absorption, hence significantly enhancing the catalytic activity. Particularly, the g-CN/SnS catalysts showed an outstanding catalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue (~ 98.1%) under visible light irradiation that is much better than that of pure SnS (~ 86.7%) and pure g-CN (~ 67.3%). Results: The remarkable photocatalytic performance is ascribed to its layer structure resulting in a large surface area, which not only improves the ion transfer rate but also provides abundant surface reaction sites. Conclusion: Our work demonstrates that the layered g-CN/SnS can be considered as an exceptional candidate for a highly-efficient photocatalyst.
