研究目的
The principal aims of this study were: (1) fabrication of the mesoporous Ag/Bi2Sn2O7-C3N4 plasmonic nanophotocatalyst with type-II heterojunction nanostructure using the hybridation rout of sono-dispersion and heat-treatment; (2) the utilization of the ultrasound energy owing to the creation of the suitable distribution and nucleation; (3) the effect of Ag on the optical, physico-chemical features; (4) the evaluation of antibiotic tetracycline degradation by the Ag/Bi2Sn2O7-C3N4 plasmonic nanophotocatalyst under the light illumination, which was simulated as sunlight.
研究成果
Mesoporous Ag/Bi2Sn2O7-C3N4 nanocomposite demonstrated significant photocatalytic efficiency (89.1%) for TC degradation under simulated solar light. The excellent photocatalytic efficiency can be attributed to several factors including the creation of type-II heterojunction between BSO and BCN semiconductors, loading Ag particles over the BSO-BCN composite and creating surface plasmonic resonance, and the use of ultrasound during the synthesis.
