Abstract:
The Bi3O4Br nanosheets and xBi2WO6-Bi3O4Br (Bi2WO6/Bi3O4Br molar ratio (x) = 0.03, 0.08, and 0.15) heterostructures were prepared using the hydrothermal and ion-exchange strategies, respectively. Due to the strong interface interaction and staggered energy band structure between Bi2WO6 and Bi3O4Br, a Z-scheme charge migration path was established, which improved the charge separation and migration efficiencies and retained enough redox potentials of the charge carriers. The bisphenol A (BPA) degradation activities over the xBi2- WO6-Bi3O4Br photocatalysts under visible-light illumination were much higher than those over their single components. The 0.08Bi2WO6-Bi3O4Br photocatalyst exhibited the highest photocatalytic performance, which was 2.53 and 7.11 times higher than those over the Bi3O4Br and Bi2WO6 photocatalysts, respectively. Furthermore, we also investigated the effects of ions, pH, and water kinds on photocatalytic activity of the typical sample, and proposed the possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism. This work provides a useful guideline for constructing high-efficiency photocatalysts for wastewater treatments and expanding photocatalytic applications of the two-dimensional Bi-based semiconductors.
