The increasing use of pesticides, particularly herbicides, has raised growing concerns about environmental safety and human health. At the International Congress on Materials Science and Nanotechnology (November 20-22, 2025 | Singapore & Online), Dr. Xue Liu from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China, will present her groundbreaking research on selected-atom-regulated carbon nitride (C3N4) for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of pesticides.
ð Selected-Atom-Regulated C3N4 for Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of
Pesticides
✨ Key Insights from the Research
·
Herbicide residues, though effective in crop protection, pose
significant risks to ecosystems and food safety.
·
Photocatalysis offers a green and efficient approach to degrade toxic
herbicide residues.
·
Polymeric carbon nitride (PCN)
stands out due to its visible-light activity, non-toxicity, and stability, but
performance has been limited by electron–hole recombination.
·
Dr. Liu’s team advanced this material by regulating
oxygen atoms and introducing single metal atoms (Pt and Fe)
into the structure.
·
Cutting-edge analysis (HAADF-STEM, XAFS, DFT) revealed improved
charge separation and enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation.
·
The research demonstrated effective degradation pathways for herbicides and
significantly reduced
phytotoxicity on soybean seedlings.
