摘要
Constructing Z-scheme heterojunction to improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers of photocatalysts has gained extensive attention. In this work, we fabricated a novel Z-scheme MoO3/Bi2O4 heterojunction photocatalyst by a hydrothermal method. XPS analysis results indicated that strong interaction between MoO3 and Bi2O4 is generated, which contributes to charge transfer and separation of the photogenerated carriers. This was confirmed by photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. The photocatalytic performance of the as-synthesized photocatalysts was evaluated by degrading rhodamine B (RhB) in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation, showing that 15% MoO3/Bi2O4 (15-MB) composite exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity, which is 2 times higher than that of Bi2O4. Besides, the heterojunction photocatalyst can keep good photocatalytic activity and stability after five recycles. Trapping experiments demonstrated that the dominant active radicals in photocatalytic reactions are superoxide radical (center dot O-2(-)) and holes (h(+)), indicating that the 15-MB composite is a Z-scheme photocatalyst. Finally, the mechanism of the Z-scheme MoO3/Bi2O4 composite for photo-degrading RhB in aqueous solution is proposed. This work provides a promising strategy for designing Bi-based Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for highly efficient removal of environmental pollutants.
