摘要
The p-n junction photocatalysts TiO2/BiOI consisting of floriated BiOI decorated with TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile one-pot solvothermal route using ethanol-water mixed solvent. The as-prepared TiO2/BiOI composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance absorption spectra (DRS), nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement and Photoluminescence spectra (PL). The TiO2/BiOI composites displayed much higher photocatalytic activities than that of pure BiOI and TiO2 for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO2/BiOI composite could be attributed to the formation of p-n junction between p-type BiOI and n-type TiO2, which effectively separates the photogenerated electron-hole pairs.
