Porous S-doped bismuth vanadate with an olive-like morphology and its supported iron oxide （y wt.% FeOx/BiVO4-δS0.08, y = 0.06, 0.76, and 1.40） photocatalysts were fabricated using the dodecylamine-assisted alcohol...Porous S-doped bismuth vanadate with an olive-like morphology and its supported iron oxide （y wt.% FeOx/BiVO4-δS0.08, y = 0.06, 0.76, and 1.40） photocatalysts were fabricated using the dodecylamine-assisted alcohol-hydrothermal and incipient wetness impregnation methods, respectively. It is shown that the y wt.% FeOx/BiVO4-δS0.08 photocatalysts contained a monoclinic scheetlite BiVO4 phase with a porous olive-like morphology, a surface area of 8.8-9.2 m^2/g, and a bandgap energy of 2.38-2.42 eV. There was co-presence of surface Bi^5＋, Bi^3＋, V^5＋, V^3＋, Fe^3＋, and Fe^2＋ species in y wt.% FeOx/BiVO4-δS0.08. The 1.40 wt.% FeOx/BiVO4-δS0.08 sample performed the best for Methylene Blue degradation under visible-light illumination. The photocatalytic mechanism was also discussed. We believe that the sulfur and FeOx co-doping, higher oxygen adspecies concentration, and lower baudgap energy were responsible for the excellent visible-light-driven catalytic activity of 1.40 wt.% FeOx/BiVO4-δS0.08.展开更多

Then the photocatalytic activity was investigated by degradation of 4-Aminobenzoic acid（4-ABA） under visible-light irradiation. It was found that the as-prepared 50 wt% Ag/Ag Cl/WO3 photocatalyst showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency with 25.12 and 3.53 times higher than those of pure WO3 and Ag/Ag Cl, respectively. The active species trapping experiments indicated that h＋and ·O2-were key factors in 4-ABA photodegradation process. The possible plasmonic Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism of photocatalytic reaction for 4-ABA degradation was proposed based on systematical characterizations. We hope this paper could give new ideas for further exploiting geothermal energy to design and fabricate highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts for environmental remediation.展开更多

The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, field emission scanning electron microscopy（FE-SEM） and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy（DRS）. When BN： BZN=0.1 mole ratio, the BN/BZN composite showed the best visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance, which decomposed nearly 100% of Rh B（10 ppm, p H=3-4） within 40 min. The results demonstrated that in-situ solid state synthesis of BN/BZN composites could be an efficient strategy to develop new photocatalyst for environmental remediation.展开更多
