Enhanced photocatalytic activity of AgBr photocatalyst via constructing heterogeneous junctions with reduced graphene

چکیده

A series of reduced graphene (rGO) and AgBr composite heterojunction photocatalysts were fabricated through a facile solvothermal method. The rGO/AgBr heterostructures characterized by XPS, XRD, UV–Vis DRS, SEM, TEM, photoluminescence (PL), the transient photocurrent responses. TEM analyses indicated that silver bromide successfully compounded without other impurities. DRS exhibited composites have better optical properties than pure bromide. PL responses demonstrated addition significantly promotes separation photogenerated electrons holes. Subsequently, photocatalytic activities studied degrading Rhodamine B (RhB). It turned out degradation rate RhB was higher AgBr. Furthermore, to study mechanism heterostructures, trapping experiments used identify main active components. This work confirmed performance catalyst greatly improved after doping graphene, which provided certain data support for organic contaminants in water.

Heterostructured Ag3PO4/AgBr/Ag plasmonic photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability under visible light.

A heterostructured Ag3PO4/AgBr/Ag plasmonic photocatalyst was prepared by a rational in situ ion exchange reaction between Ag3PO4 micro-cubes and Br(-) in aqueous solution followed by photoreduction. The photocatalytic activities of obtained photocatalysts were measured by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation (λ≥ 400 nm). Compared to AgBr...

Graphene oxide supported titanium dioxide & ferroferric oxide hybrid, a magnetically separable photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic activity for tetracycline hydrochloride degradation

A facile, robust approach to the synthesis of Fe3O4/rGO/TiO2 nanocomposites is described. The synthesis involves two major steps: (1) preparation of Fe3O4/GO by an electrostatic self-assembly method; (2) deposition of TiO2 on the surface of the Fe3O4/rGO nanocomposite via a hydrothermal method. The asprepared Fe3O4/rGO/TiO2 photocatalyst exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity for the deg...

A novel Bi4Ti3O12/Ag3PO4 heterojunction photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic performance

In this work, we integrated Ag3PO4 with Bi4Ti3O12 to form Bi4Ti3O12/Ag3PO4 heterojunction nanocomposites by an ion-exchange method. The as-prepared Bi4Ti3O12/Ag3PO4 composites were systematically characterized by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, XPS, UV-vis DRS, EIS, PL spectroscopy, and photocurrent response. SEM, TEM, and XPS results demonstrate the creation of Bi4Ti3O12/Ag3PO4 heterojunction wit...

New insight into the enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity over boron-doped reduced graphene oxide.

Boron-doped reduced graphene oxide (B-RGO) synthesized by a facile one-step reflux route is able to exhibit significantly higher photocatalytic activity than non-doped RGO under visible light irradiation. New insights accounting for this photocatalytic activity improvement are discussed, which is distinctly different from the case of B-RGO nanoribbons under UV light irradiation.
