High-performance nanocomposites of high-surface-area (HSA) g-CN and TiO-WO-BiO/SiO (g-CN/TSBW) were successfully synthesized and evaluated for their photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The photocatalysts were characterized using XRD, N adsorption-desorption, FE-SEM, EDS, HR-TEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis DRS, and PL spectroscopy. The study investigated the effects of g-CN content, photocatalyst loading, dye concentration and type, solution pH, scavengers, and oxidants on the photocatalytic degradation process. The g-CN photocatalyst, with a high surface area of approximately 100 m/g, exhibited a combined adsorption and photocatalytic degradation effect for rhodamine B (RhB) removal. Notably, nearly 100% RhB degradation was achieved using 1 g/L of the optimized 50% g-CN/TSBW heterojunction photocatalyst with an initial RhB concentration of 10 mg/L after only 20 min of visible light exposure. This high performance resulted from the synergistic effect of combining g-CN with TSBW, facilitated by the formation of a type II heterojunction between TiO and g-CN, which effectively suppressed the recombination of photoinduced charge carriers. Trapping experiments provided mechanistic insights into RhB photocatalytic degradation, revealing the significant contribution of superoxide radicals (•O). Based on these trapping experiments, a plausible photocatalytic reaction mechanism was proposed. Finally, the recyclability of the 50% g-CN/TSBW heterojunction photocatalyst was also demonstrated.
成功合成了高比表面积(HSA)石墨相氮化碳(g-CN)与TiO-WO-BiO/SiO(g-CN/TSBW)的高性能纳米复合材料,并对其在可见光照射下对水溶液中有机染料的光催化降解性能进行了评估。使用X射线衍射(XRD)、N吸附-脱附、场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)、能谱仪(EDS)、高分辨率透射电子显微镜(HR-TEM)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、拉曼光谱、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)和光致发光光谱(PL光谱)对光催化剂进行了表征。该研究考察了g-CN含量、光催化剂负载量、染料浓度和类型、溶液pH值、清除剂和氧化剂对光催化降解过程的影响。具有约100 m²/g高比表面积的g-CN光催化剂对罗丹明B(RhB)的去除表现出吸附和光催化降解的协同作用。值得注意的是,使用1 g/L优化的50% g-CN/TSBW异质结光催化剂,初始RhB浓度为10 mg/L,在可见光照射仅20分钟后,RhB降解率接近100%。这种高性能源于g-CN与TSBW结合的协同效应,这是由TiO与g-CN之间形成的II型异质结促进的,有效地抑制了光生载流子的复合。捕获实验为RhB光催化降解提供了机理见解,揭示了超氧自由基(•O)的重要贡献。基于这些捕获实验,提出了一个合理的光催化反应机理。最后,还证明了50% g-CN/TSBW异质结光催化剂的可回收性。
