The arrows included in (a) indicate the starting point of the analysis in (b). Dataset of (a) Correlation between predicted and experimental values for the photocatalytic degradation of MeP at different irradiation times. (b) Pareto diagram of standardized effects of the factorial design proposed for the response at 45 min of photocatalytic reaction (Y45). Dataset Representative response and contour surfaces of the effect of temperature and exfoliation time of bulk g-C3N4 on the photocatalytic performance for % MeP removal (scale from 0 to 100 %) at different solar irradiation times: (a) 30, (b) 45, and (c) 60 min. Dataset of (a−b) Representative response and contour surfaces of the relative costs associated with the degradation of 99.5% of MeP as a function of the effect of temperature and exfoliation time. (c−d) Breakdown of the percentages of costs associated with the material with the lowest relative cost (U450-2; inner circle) and higher costs (U400-2 and U450-6; outer circle for c and d, respectively) Dataset of (a) XRD patterns (b) enlarged view of (0 0 2) peak, (c) N2 adsorption−desorption isotherms and (d) FTIR spectra of bulk-U and exfoliated materials. Dataset of (a) UV-Vis DR spectra, (b) Tauc plot to calculate the band gap energy of the synthesised materials. Dataset of (a) PL spectra of bulk-U reference and exfoliated materials, (b) Profile analysis by gaussian fitting for bulk-U and (c) Timeresolved fluorescence decay spectra monitored at 430 nm under 350 nm excitation for bulk-U, U400-2 and U450-6.
