Abstract

The removal of algae by reactive oxygen species (ROS) through photocatalytic O₂ activation is still a challenge. Herein, we constructed a van der Waals (VDW) heterojunction photocatalyst by coupling BiO_2−x with Bi₃NbO₇ for photocatalytic inactivation of Microcystic aeruginosa and photodegradation of Microcystin-LR. The oxygen vacancies in BiO_2−x/Bi₃NbO₇ can effectively promote the chemisorption of O₂, and the VDW force can drive the photoelectrons in Bi₃NbO₇ transfer to BiO_2−x through S-scheme transfer path, resulting more electrons reduce O₂ to·O₂^-. Hence, photocatalytic inactivation of algae by BiO_2−x/Bi₃NbO₇ is 14.17 and 19.05 times higher than BiO_2−x and Bi₃NbO₇, respectively. During the photocatalysis, the·O₂^- damages the antioxidant system and cell membrane of algae, resulting in the release of organic matter and Microcystin-LR and finally causing the death of algae. The three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy indicates BiO_2−x/Bi₃NbO₇ can further availably photodegrade the organic matter, and four possible photodegradation pathways of MC-LR are proposed.

BiO2−x/Bi3NbO7 van der Waals异质结光催化O2活化增强及藻类失活机理

通过光催化O2活化活性氧(ROS)去除藻类仍然是一个挑战。本研究通过将bi2−x与Bi3NbO7偶联，构建了一种van der Waals (VDW)异质结光催化剂，用于微囊铜绿菌的光催化失活和微囊藻素- lr的光降解。Bi3NbO7中的氧空位可以有效促进O2的化学吸附，VDW力可以驱动Bi3NbO7中的光电子通过S-scheme转移路径向BiO2 - x转移，导致更多的电子将O2还原为·O2-。因此，BiO2−x/Bi3NbO7对藻类的光催化失活效果分别是BiO2−x和Bi3NbO7的14.17倍和19.05倍。在光催化过程中，·O2-破坏藻类的抗氧化系统和细胞膜，导致有机物和微囊藻毒素lr的释放，最终导致藻类死亡。三维荧光光谱分析表明，BiO2−x/Bi3NbO7可以进一步有效地光降解有机物，并提出了MC-LR的四种可能的光降解途径。
