摘要
High surface activity and high-efficiency 3D g-C3N4/WO3/biochar/Cu-2(+)-doped carbon spheres (CWB-CuCs) were prepared by a facile one-pot heating method for use as composite photocatalysts. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photoelectric properties and mechanism of the photocatalysts were analyzed. The CWB-CuCsphotocatalyst with 40 wt% CuCs showed excellent photocatalytic performance for hydrogen generation (about 6 times better than that of pure g-C3N4). This phenomenon was mainly due to a Z-scheme heterojunction in the biochar between the g-C3N4 and WO3. The synergy between the g-C3N4/WO3 and CuCs (acting as cocatalysts) increased the electron transfer rate and increased the photocatalytic performance of the composite.
