Abstract
Photocatalysis has received extensive attention as a sustainable technology. Herein, a 2D/2D CoAl-LDH/(110) facet-exposed BiOBr Z-type heterojunction photocatalyst enriched with oxygen vacancies (OVs) and Lewis acid sites was prepared by deposition-precipitation method. Results show that the removal of ciprofloxacin by the optimal heterojunction achieves 88 % within 10 min and 98.6 % within 95 min under visible light. Characterization and DFT calculation reveal that CoAl-LDH induces high-energy (110) crystal plane exposure of BiOBr, resulting in the generation of surface OVs and Lewis acid sites. OVs contribute to the adsorption of dissolved oxygen in water, thereby facilitating the generation of •O2−. And Bi(3−x)+ Lewis acid sites promote the adsorption and degradation of reactant molecules. The charge transfer recombination mechanism of the heterojunction enhances the utilization of photogenerated electrons and holes, improving the catalyst photostability. This work provides a simple method for constructing efficient and stable Z-type heterojunctions with defects for photocatalytic water treatment.
