摘要
(BiO)(2)CO3/BiOI heterojunctions were prepared in-situ by a pore impregnating method using HI aqueous solution. The specific surface area, structure, morphology, and charge separation properties of the heterostructures prepared were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy, respectively. The active species were investigated using scavengers. The photocatalytic activities of (BiO)(2)CO3/BiOI heterojunctions towards discoloration of rhodamine B (RhB) under simulated sun light irradiation were evaluated. Benefiting from enhanced charge separation efficiency, the composite photocatalysts exhibit higher photocatalytic performance than the pure BiOI. Finally, the possible reason was discussed.
