摘要
AgBr/Ag2CO3 heterojunctions were synthesized via a simple one-pot co-precipitation process. Namely, the growth of Ag2CO3 and AgBr crystals occurred simultaneously in one single process. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalytic activity of as-prepared samples was investigated by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. An enhancement in photocatalytic activity was observed in AgBr/Ag2CO3 composites compared with pure AgBr and Ag2CO3. We also investigated the effect of the ratio of AgBriAg(2)CO(3) on the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared heterojunctions. With the optimal theoretical Br-/CO32- molar ratio of 1:2, the sample exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
