Bi2S3/WO3 heterojunction for enhanced photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction: Synthesis, performance, and DFT study
In order to significantly improve the light absorption capacity of the photocatalyst and the transmission efficiency of photogenerated carriers, in this work, Bi2S3 NRs(Nanosheets) were prepared on WO3 NSs(Nanorods) by a simple solvothermal method, and the influence of different reaction temperatures (80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C and 140 °C) on the microscopic topography, photoelectrochemical properties and photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) properties by Bi2S3/WO3 heterojunction were investigated. The results showed that Bi2S3/WO3(100 °C) heterojunction exhibit the best light absorption capacity, photocurrent density and photocatalytic performance, with a reduction rate of up to 69.1 % for Cr (VI) within 100 min and a primary reduction coefficient up to 0.0120 min−1, surpassing the pristine WO3 by 3 times. In addition, the transport mechanism of photogenerated carriers was clarified by DFT calculations, and the photocatalytic mechanism of Z-scheme heterojunction between WO3 and Bi2S3 was put forward. This research provides a new opportunity on the development of other photocatalysts with efficient heterostructures for reduction of Cr (VI) in industrial wastewater, and provides several relevant insights for the construction of Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts, aiming to solve urgent environmental pollution issues.
