Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Incorporation of CuWO4 With Hollow Tubular g-C3N4: Harnessing the Potential in Photocatalytic Degradation, Hydrogen Production, and Supercapacitor Applications(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Erdem, Nurseli Gorener; Caglar, Basar; Inan, Ece; Tuna, Ozlem; Ertis, Irem Firtina; Simsek, Esra BilginDriven by the urgent need for sustainable energy conversion and environmental remediation technologies, the development of multifunctional materials has gained growing interest. Herein, a bifunctional heterostructure was fabricated by depositing copper tungstate (CuWO4) spherical particles over hollow tubular graphitic carbon nitride (HTCN) using an ultrasonic-assisted thermal impregnation method. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated through tetracycline degradation and hydrogen evolution tests, while electrochemical measurements were conducted to assess the supercapacitor performance. CuWO4@HTCN composite achieved up to 83% degradation efficiency, a hydrogen evolution rate of 2538 mu mol g1 h-1, and a specific capacitance of 212 F g1, demonstrating its strong potential as a multifunctional material for solar-driven environmental and energy storage applications. The enhanced photocatalytic performance was attributed to extended visible light absorption ability, efficient charge separation, and suppressed electron-hole recombination resulting from the formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction. Furthermore, the superior capacitance behavior was ascribed to enhanced electrical conductivity and ion transport, enabled by the porous, nitrogen-rich HTCN structure. The increased HTCN content in the composite improved pore accessibility and active site availability while an excessive amount of CuWO4 reduced electrochemical performance. These results highlight the multifunctional applicability of CuWO4@HTCN composite in photocatalytic hydrogen production and supercapacitor systems, emphasizing their relevance for renewable energy technologies.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4A Facile Method for Boosting the Graphitic Carbon Nitride's Photocatalytic Activity Based on 0d/2d S-Scheme Heterojunction Nanocomposite Architecture(Elsevier, 2024) Kahraman, Zeynep; Kartal, Uğur; Gent, Aziz; Alp, EmreGraphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has received significant interest as a metal -free photocatalyst. The S -scheme photocatalytic system has great potential to improve the charge separation in semiconductor photocatalysts. In this study, we have fabricated non-toxic and low-cost photocatalytic nanocomposites of 0D/2D S -scheme heterojunction composed of iron oxide and graphitic carbon nitride by a facile method. The developed facile method provides a sustainable way with a high atom economy to further enhance the photocatalytic performance of exfoliated g-C 3 N 4 . The 0D -iron oxide/2D-C 3 N 4 exhibited nearly 10 times better than bulk g-C 3 N 4 and almost 60 % better than exfoliated g-C 3 N 4 under simulated solar light irradiation. The experimental results demonstrated that the effective charge -carrier mechanism led to an improved generation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs), resulting in an impressive photocatalytic performance. A serial photocatalytic test was also conducted to understand photocatalytic reaction mechanisms with various scavengers.
