Cascade electronic band structured zinc oxide/ bismuth vanadate/ three-dimensional ordered macroporous titanium dioxide ternary nanocomposites for enhanced visible light photocatalysis
摘要： Ternary zinc oxide/ bismuth vanadate/ three-dimensional ordered macroporous titanium dioxide (ZnO/BiVO4/3DOM TiO2) heterojuncted nanocomposites with cascade electronic band structures were successfully designed and synthesized for visible light photodegradation of two different molecules: Rhodamine B (RhB) and Tartrazine. The photocatalytic active species have been investigated by using electron scavenger (AgNO3) and hole scavenger (Triethanolamine: TEOA). The band edge positions of each component in tenary nanocomposites have been measured by using photoelectrochemical Mott-Schottky method and valence band XPS (VB-XPS) spectroscopy. Within the heterojunction, charges are favorably and spatially separated through the gradient potential at the interfaces. This largely suppresses the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Furthermore, 3DOM inverse opal structure is beneficial for high diffusion efficiency and highly accessible surface area of reactants and light and multiple scattering for light harvesting. Consequently, these heterojuncted nanocomposites exhibit highly enhanced photocatalytic performance compared with pure BiVO4 nanostructure, and binary BiVO4/3DOM TiO2, ZnO/BiVO4 nanocomposites. A detailed mechanism of charge transfer is proposed for these ternary ZnO/BiVO4/3DOM TiO2 nanocomposites on the basis of a large series of spectroscopic and photocatalytic results. Our work demonstrates clearly that coupling multicomponent semiconductors with different energy levels of conduction and valence bands can significantly increase the photogenerated charge carriers through the efficient charge separation across their multiple interfaces. This work gives some new ideas on developing new visible light responsive nanocomposites for highly efficient solar energy utilization.

Synthesis g-C <sub/>3</sub> N <sub/>4</sub> of high specific surface area by precursor pretreatment strategy with SBA-15 as a template and their photocatalytic activity toward degradation of rhodamine B
摘要： Using SBA-15 as a template, high surface area porous graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) were successfully synthesized by pretreating melamine using hydrochloric acid, and fully characterized by Fourier-Transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The results of these analyses indicated that the g-C3N4 synthesized from HCl-pretreated melamine with SBA-15 as a template has enhanced specific surface area and increased the separation rate of the photogenerated electrons and holes compared with bulk g-C3N4, but didn’t change the structure of bulk g-C3N4. The photocatalytic activity of samples was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under xenon lamp. The results indicated that the activity was improved significantly with the increase of specific surface area. The rate constant for CN-3（ HCl pretreatment melamine precursor and SBA-15 as a template） was 13 times as high as g-C3N4. Furthermore, the CN-3 catalyst exhibited outstanding structural and catalytic stability.
