Comparative study of KF, KCl and KBr doped with graphitic carbon nitride for superior photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light

In this study potassium salts such as KF, KCl and KBr were doped onto g-C3N4 to form KX-g-C3N4 (X = F, Cl and Br) via a thermal method. The KX-g-C3N4 was characterized by various instrumentation techniques such as UV–visible, FT-IR, XRD, Photoluminescence, TGA, BET, Raman, SEM, EDAX, HR-TEM, and Zet...
