Abstract
A novel II-scheme heterojunction composite Ag/Bi2O3/Bi5O7I (ABMBOI) was successfully synthesized through a combined solvothermal-calcination strategy. S-Scheme heterojunctions were prepared and strong interfacial electronic coupling was formed. The phase composition, microstructure, and optoelectronic properties of the as-prepared materials were systematically characterized by A series of characteristic means. The optimized ABMBOI33 composite (with Ag/Bi-MOF molar ratio of 1:1 and ABM3/Bi5O7I mass ratio of 1:3) demonstrated exceptional photocatalytic performance under visible light irradiation, achieving degradation efficiency of 96.8 % for RhodamineB (RhB) and 84.4 % for tetracycline (TC) within 70 min. This significant enhancement may be attributed to three synergistic effects: surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect induced by Ag nanoparticles extending visible light absorption, the increase of active sites and the efficient charge separation enabled by the construction of II-scheme heterojunction architecture. Radical trapping experiments combined with electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis revealed that h+, 1O2 and ·OH served as the predominant reactive species in the degradation process of RhB, while h+ and ·OH were identified as the primary contributors to TC decomposition. Furthermore, the effects of common inorganic anions, solution pH value and catalyst dosage on RhB degradation have also been systematically investigated.
期刊介绍:
Launched in January 1998, Inorganic Chemistry Communications is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of short communications in the major areas of inorganic, organometallic and supramolecular chemistry. Topics include synthetic and reaction chemistry, kinetics and mechanisms of reactions, bioinorganic chemistry, photochemistry and the use of metal and organometallic compounds in stoichiometric and catalytic synthesis or organic compounds.
