Facile synthesis of magnetically separable Fe3O4/GO/g-C3N4 composite for superior photocatalytic degradation of naphthalene

The intentional discharge of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the aquatic system from different industrial units has posed a serious threat to human health. To address the concerns associated with PAHs misuse, an efficient approach for developing affordable photocatalyst materials for PAHs degradation is much needed. In this study, we have explored co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods to synthesize Fe3O4/GO/g-C3N4 ternary composites and utilized them as photocatalyst materials for the degradation of naphthalene.
