Abstract

Addressing the degradation of persistent organic pollutants like bisphenol A (BPA) and rhodamine B (RhB) with a photocatalyst that is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly is a notable challenge. This research presents the synthesis of an optimized g-C3N4/Bi4O5Br2 composite featuring a Z-scheme heterojunction structure. The precise band alignment of this composite significantly enhances the separation of photogenerated charges and the production of dominant reactive species. The composite demonstrated exceptional photocatalytic performance, with BPA degradation efficiency nearing 98% and RhB achieving complete degradation within 80 and 35 min under visible light, respectively. These results are approximately 1.3 times greater than the individual performance of CN and BOB, surpassing recent literature benchmarks. Through EPR and free radical capture experiments, the role of h+ and ·O2 as the primary active free radicals in the degradation process have been confirmed. First-principles calculations validated the experimental results, indicating that the Z-type heterojunction is instrumental in generating active species, thus improving degradation efficiency. This study offers a promising strategy for the design of photocatalysts targeting emerging organic pollutants.

Keywords: Photocatalysis; g-C3N4; Bi4O5Br2; Heterostructure; Water purification; Z-scheme.

氧化卤化铋石墨烯杂化增强石墨氮化碳对污染物的光降解活性及其机理研究
解决双酚A (BPA)和罗丹明B (RhB)等持久性有机污染物的降解问题是一项具有成本效益和环境友好性的光催化剂。本研究提出了一种优化的具有z型异质结结构的g-C3N4/Bi4O5Br2复合材料的合成。这种复合材料的精确波段排列显著提高了光生电荷的分离和优势反应物质的产生。该复合材料表现出优异的光催化性能,在可见光下,BPA降解效率接近98%,RhB在80 min和35 min内完全降解。这些结果比CN和BOB的单独性能大约高1.3倍,超过了最近的文献基准。通过EPR和自由基捕获实验,证实了h+和·O2−作为主要活性自由基在降解过程中的作用。第一性原理计算验证了实验结果,表明z型异质结有助于产生活性物质,从而提高降解效率。该研究为设计针对新兴有机污染物的光催化剂提供了一种有希望的策略。关键词:光催化;g-C3N4;Bi4O5Br2;异质结构;水净化;Z-scheme。
