Abstract:
Photocatalytic degradation was considered as a promising strategy for the elimination of hazardousorganic pollutants. In this work, a binary 3D/2D molybdenum disulfide supported oxygen-doped graphite carbon nitride (MoS
2/O-g-C
3N
4) heterojunctions was successfully fabricated by using a facile hydrothermal strategy. Meanwhile, the as-prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, FTIR and PL. By these characterized observed the formation of Z-type heterojunction between MoS
2 and O-g-C
3N
4. Under visible light irradiation, when the loading of MoS
2 was 0.2%, MoS
2/O-g-C
3N
4 exhibited better photocatalytic activity, and the degradation rate of bisphenol A (BPA) is 92.6%, which is 7 times higher than that of pure g-C
3N
4. In addition, the close contact and mutual synergistic effect of the interface between MoS
2 and O-g-C
3N
4 significantly enhance the photocatalytic reaction active sites and visible light absorption capacity, and effectively improve the separation of photogenerated carriers. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology (LC-MS) and capturing experimental results, the possible photocatalytic mechanism of the 0.2%MoS
2/O-g-C
3N
4 heterojunction composite material degrading crystal violet were proposed. This research provides a new method for the preparation of high-efficiency heterojunction photocatalysts.
