Implementing All-Weather Photocatalysis of Exhaust Fumes Based on the g-C3N4/TiO2/SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ Ternary Composite Coating

This study examines the use of SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ long-afterglow materials doped into g-C3N4/TiO2 coatings for photodegradation. The prepared sample was tested for the purification of automotive exhaust fumes, with the optimal mass ratio of g-C3N4/TiO2 and SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ determined to be 1:1. Characterization tests, including XRD, FT-IR, XPS, and TG-DSC, were conducted to evaluate the microstructure and properties of the samples. Under poor lighting conditions, g-C3N4/TiO2 reduced CH and NOx by 59 ppm and 13 ppm within 4 h, respectively, while g-C3N4/TiO2/SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ decreased CH and NOx by 98ppm and 34ppm, respectively, resulting in a significant improvement in degradation efficiency. The addition of long-afterglow materials significantly improves the efficiency of photocatalysts in purifying exhaust fumes in low-light environments, providing potential value for all-weather exhaust treatment in the future.
