摘要
Polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) is a kind of polymeric semiconductor that is widely popular in photocatalysis-related energy and environmental fields. However, the photocatalytic activity is still limited due to its poor conductivity and low charge separation efficiency. In this work, benzene rings were introduced to adjust the electronic structure of PCN, and then a PCN-based all-solid Z-scheme heterojunction was fabricated by combing multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ferric oxide through precipitation and the in situ deposit method. Upon optimizing the ratio between PCN, CNTs, and Fe2O3, (PCN:CNTs:Fe2O3 = 10:1:3 by weight), the composites expressed superior photocatalytic degradation activity towards methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) compared with pristine PCN and Fe2O3. The MB degradation percentage achieved 90% in 75 min, and the CV up to 99.6% within 50 min. The Z-scheme mechanism was verified by band alignment and metal selective deposition. The CNTs in the heterojunction played the role of an electron shuttling mediator and hence improved charge separation efficiency. This work provides ideas for the construction of polymer-inorganic all-solid Z-scheme photocatalysts for practical applications.
