In this study, a series of BiOI/KTaO p-n heterojunctions were prepared a facile chemical bath strategy. The photocatalytic properties of the catalysts was tested by the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and phenol under visible light irradiation. The BiOI/KTaO composites exhibited improved photocatalytic efficiency compared to the individual catalysts. In particular, 54 wt% BiOI/KTaO displayed the highest photocatalytic activity since it degraded 98.6% RhB within 30 minutes, while only 68.1% RhB was degraded over pure BiOI under identical conditions. In addition, the reaction kinetic constant of RhB degradation over 54 wt% BiOI/KTaO was approximately 2.56 and 115-fold larger than those of pure BiOI and KTaO respectively. The results of PL, photocurrent and EIS indicated that the improved photocatalytic efficiency could root in the p-n junction formed between BiOI and KTaO, which was conducive to the separation and migration of photo-generated carriers. Furthermore, a free-radical capture experiment illustrated that h and ˙O were the key factors in the photodegradation of RhB.
在本研究中,通过一种简便的化学浴策略制备了一系列BiOI/KTaO p-n异质结。通过在可见光照射下对罗丹明B(RhB)和苯酚的降解来测试催化剂的光催化性能。与单独的催化剂相比,BiOI/KTaO复合材料表现出更高的光催化效率。特别是,54 wt%的BiOI/KTaO表现出最高的光催化活性,因为它在30分钟内降解了98.6%的RhB,而在相同条件下,纯BiOI仅降解了68.1%的RhB。此外,54 wt%的BiOI/KTaO上RhB降解的反应动力学常数分别比纯BiOI和KTaO的大约大2.56倍和115倍。PL、光电流和EIS结果表明,光催化效率的提高可能源于BiOI和KTaO之间形成的p-n结,这有利于光生载流子的分离和迁移。此外,自由基捕获实验表明,h和˙O是RhB光降解的关键因素。
