Facile assembly of g-C3N4/Ag2CO3/graphene oxide with a novel dual Z-scheme system for enhanced photocatalytic pollutant degradation
摘要： In this study, ternary catalyst g-C3N4/Ag2CO3/graphene oxide was synthesized through a simple chemical precipitation method at room temperature. The CN/AC/GO composite was employed to degrade antibiotics under visible light irradiation. And the results indicated that the composite possessed excellent photocatalytic performance, which could remove 81.6% tetracycline (TC) after 60 min of irradiation. The PL, EIS, PC and UV–vis DRS tests demonstrated that enhanced photocatalytic e?ciency could be attributed to rapid charge transfer, low recombination rate of photo-induced electron-hole pairs, as well as superior light absorption capability. Moreover, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix ?uorescence spectra (3D EEMs) were employed to further grasp the behaviors of TC molecules in the process of degradation reaction. In addition, the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was carried out to explore the intermediates during the photocatalytic reaction. Meanwhile, the in?uences of initial TC concentration, light source, supporting electrolytes and water sources were explored from the perspective of practical application. Furthermore, the appearance of a small amount of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) not only accelerated the charge transfer, but also improved the stability of catalyst. The composite also possessed high stability and reusability, which were essential in practical application.

Visible-light degradation of sulfonamides by Z-scheme ZnO/g-C3N4 heterojunctions with amorphous Fe2O3 as electron mediator
摘要： ZnO grafted amorphous Fe2O3 matrix (ZnO/Fe2O3) was coupled with g-C3N4 to synthesize heterojunction photocatalysts with a loosened multilayered structure. The ZnO/Fe2O3/g-C3N4 exhibited enhanced photocatalytic performance in the degradation of sulfamethazine under visible-light irradiation (λ > 420 nm), with an optimum photocatalytic degradation rate approximately 3.0, 2.4 times that of pure g-C3N4 and binary ZnO/g-C3N4. Moreover, the target sulfonamides spiked in actual surface water samples could be efficiently photodegraded by ZnO/Fe2O3/g-C3N4 after 8 h of irradiation, demonstrating its practical potential. An amorphous Fe2O3-mediated Z-scheme mechanism was proposed for the charge transfer at the heterojunction surface, which involved a Fe(III)/Fe(II) oxidation-reduction center that favored the retarded charge recombination and improved photocatalytic activity. Such a mechanism was well supported by the direct detection of surface generated ·O2? and ·OH reactive species. Finally, detailed transformation pathways were proposed based on the photodegradation products identified by QToF-MS analyses. This work provides an illustrative strategy for developing efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts for water purification, by taking advantage of amorphous Fe-based oxides in the semiconductor lattice matching.

Fabrication of novel AgBr/Bi <sub/>24</sub> O <sub/>31</sub> Br <sub/>10</sub> composites with excellent photocatalytic performance
摘要： Novel porous AgBr/Bi24O31Br10 (AB/BOB) heterojunction composites were prepared by a hydrothermal calcination-ion exchange route and their physico-chemical properties were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, EDX, UV-vis DRS, BET and electrochemical measurements. The photocatalytic activity of the composites consisting of different AB/BOB mass ratios was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. Compared with pure AB and BOB, the porous 20% AB/BOB composite exhibits much enhanced photocatalytic activity with good cycling stability. The significant enhancement in photoactivity is contributed to by both a high adsorption capacity and the separation efficiency of photo-generated electron–hole (e–h+) pairs via a Z-scheme mechanism. In addition, radical scavenging experiments confirm that the reactive ?OH radicals play an important role in the photocatalytic reaction. The novel AB/BOB heterojunction composites could have a promising application in treatment of various dyestuff wastewaters on a large scale.

Fabrication of novel 1D/2D V2O5/g-C3N4 composites as Z-scheme photocatalysts for CR degradation and Cr (VI) reduction under sunlight irradiation
摘要： Photocatalytic materials for environmental remediation of organic pollutants and heavy metals require not only a strong visible light response and high photocatalytic performance, but also the regeneration and reuse of catalysts. In this work, 1D/2D V2O5 nanorods/g-C3N4 nanosheets (VONRs/CNNs) composites were prepared by a facile impregnation method and employed in the degradation of a Congo red (CR) and reduction of Cr (VI) under sunlight irradiation. The as-prepared samples were studied by several characterization techniques including XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, FTIR, UV-vis DRS and PL. Results revealed that the interface interaction between VONRs and CNNs was recognized via V2O5 nanorods loading on the surface of g-C3N4 nanosheets, improving the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and restraining the recombination rate of charge carriers. As a result, the photocatalytic activity of the composites was enhanced in comparison with pure CNNs and VONRs. The photocatalytic efficiency of optimal composite (4-VONRs/CNNs) for the removal of CR (Cr (VI)) was about 9.33 (4.22) and 73.52 (19.2) times higher than that of pure CNNs and VONRs, respectively. Meanwhile, the 4-VONRs/CNNs exhibited good photocatalytic stability in recycling experiments. Such enormous enhancement in photocatalytic performance was predominantly ascribed to the efficient separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs at the VONRs/CNNs interface imparted through the direct Z-scheme charge carrier migration mechanism. Moreover, the energy band structure and the quenching effects of different scavengers demonstrated that the electrons of CNNs and holes of VONRs with higher oxidizability and reducibility are the real participants in photocatalytic reactions.

Application of a photostable silver-assisted Z-scheme NiTiO3 nanorod/g-C3N4 nanocomposite for efficient hydrogen generation
摘要： The performance and reaction mechanism of a silver (Ag)-assisted one-dimensional NiTiO3 nanorod/CN heterostructure nanocomposite (NTACN) photocatalyst for hydrogen (H2) production were explored with simulated sunlight. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts were examined using various spectrophotometers. The newly developed NTACN samples displayed an enhanced photocatalytic activity in producing hydrogen. Specifically, the H2 production rate of NTACN-5 (with a NT-to-ACN weight ratio of 5) was 3351 mmol/g-h, which was 1.42 times higher than that of ACN-4 with a Ag-to-CN ratio of 4 (2325 mmol/g-h). The effects of the Ag-to-CN and NiTiO3-to-ACN ratios on the photocatalytic activity of NTACN photocatalysts were determined. The NTACN photocatalysts exhibited a high long-term photostability under simulated sunlight irradiation. The increased photocatalyst performance and photostability were primarily ascribed to an improved charge separation efficiency due to a Z-scheme reaction mechanism as well as the assistance provided by Ag as a charge transfer shuttle and in the surface plasmon resonance effect. A photocatalytic mechanism for hydrogen generation over the NTACN photocatalysts under simulated sunlight irradiation is suggested.
