Synthesis of g-C3N4/CeO2 nanocomposites with improved catalytic activity on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate

The CeO2 nanoparticles were uniformly loaded on the surface of g-C3N4 via a simple mixing-calcination method, and the heterostructure construction of resulting from g-C3N4/CeO2 nanocomposites effectively suppressed the charge recombination. Interestingly, g-C3N4/CeO2 nanocomposites showed an enhanced catalytic activity for thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate.
