Abstract

Abstract:

A novel p-n heterostructure photocatalyst m-Bi₂O₄/BiOCl was successfully synthetized through a facile ion-etching method. Via adjusting the added volume of HCl solution, a series of different ratios of composite photocatalysts were obtained. The as-prepared samples of physical, chemical and optical characteristics were examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, selected-area electron diffraction, Fourier transform infrared absorption, Raman microscope, N₂ adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis spectrum technologies. The photocatalysts showed high degradation rate and complete mineralization ability for methyl orange and tetracycline solution under visible light. The reaction rate constant of m-Bi₂O₄/BiOCl for methyl orange was 52.28 times higher than that of BiOCl. The characterization presented a good stability of materials. Furthermore, the photocurrent response test certified that the heterostructure effectively accelerated the separation and migration of photo-generated carries. The scavenger experiments evidenced that hole (h⁺) and superoxide radical (·O₂^-) were the primary active radicals. A possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. This work provided an alternative photocatalyst applied to water environmental remediation.

Key words: Dibismuth tetroxide, Photocatalysis, Methylene orange, Tetracycline, Degradation mechanism
