Abstract

Novel titanium dioxide/graphitic carbon nitride (TiO2/g-C3N4) hybrid was prepared by a facile sol-reflux method. Then, the as-prepared TiO2/g-C3N4 hybrid was characterized by FESEM, XRD, FT-IR, XPS, and BET analysis. The results show that TiO2 is attached to the g-C3N4 thin pieces in the form of anatase. A mesoporous structure, which has a large specific surface area and is conducive to catalytic adsorption, is formed. Simultaneously, chemical bonds may be formed between the oxides and g-C3N4. Furthermore, in order to analyze its catalytic effect on the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) technique has been employed. The decomposition temperature of AP dropped by 26°C when 2 wt % TiO2/g-C3N4 hybrid was added in, and the activation energy (Ea) by 44%. Based on the experimental data, a possible catalytic reaction mechanism of TiO2/g-C3N4 hybrid has been proposed.
