Magnetic BiOBr/FeO/RGO composites with remarkable photocatalytic capability were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method to load 3D flower-like microspherical BiOBr onto the surface of FeO/RGO. Under visible-light irradiation ( > 420 nm), the BiOBr/FeO/RGO composite with 56% mass percentage of FeO/RGO shows the optimal removal ability for Rhodamine B, and the total removal efficiency is 96%. The coupling of FeO/RGO and BiOBr elevates the conduction band of BiOBr, which enhances the reduction level of BiOBr/FeO/RGO composites. Ultimately, based on experiments and theoretical calculations, an n-type Schottky contact formed at the heterojunction interface between RGO doped with FeO and BiOBr is proposed for photoexcited charge transfer. The RGO with great adsorptivity plays a major role in the photocatalysts composed of BiOBr, RGO and FeO. Further, BiOBr/FeO/RGO composites with permanent-magnetism can be recovered and reused easily by external magnetic field and maintain a total removal efficiency of 90% after four cycles.
通过一种简单的水热法制备了具有显著光催化能力的磁性BiOBr/FeO/RGO复合材料,将三维花状微球形BiOBr负载到FeO/RGO表面。在可见光照射(>420 nm)下,FeO/RGO质量百分比为56%的BiOBr/FeO/RGO复合材料对罗丹明B具有最佳去除能力,总去除效率为96%。FeO/RGO与BiOBr的耦合提高了BiOBr的导带,增强了BiOBr/FeO/RGO复合材料的还原能力。最终,基于实验和理论计算,提出在掺杂FeO的RGO与BiOBr之间的异质结界面形成n型肖特基接触用于光激发电荷转移。具有高吸附性的RGO在由BiOBr、RGO和FeO组成的光催化剂中起主要作用。此外,具有永久磁性的BiOBr/FeO/RGO复合材料可通过外部磁场轻松回收和再利用,并且在四个循环后总去除效率保持在90%。
