For the first time, C-doped g-C3N4@C, N co-doped TiO2 core-shell heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully prepared by an in-situ one-pot hydrothermal bio-template approach, assisted by calcination treatment at 500 °C. Kapok fibre was used as a bio-templates and in-situ C doping in g-C3N4 and Ti...
