However, the areal photoctalytic activity of ZnSb2O4 was 12 times higher than that of ZnSb2O6 because of their different electronic and geometric structures. The photocatalytic degradation mechanisms of TC over ZnSb2O4 and ZnSb2O6 were proposed. Our work will facilitate the development of composite oxides consisting of p-block metal ions as new semiconductor photocatalysts.展开更多

Compared to individual Ag2O and TiO2, Ag2O/TiO2 heterostructure exhibits obviously enhanced photocatalytic activity for the photodegradation of methyl orange(MO) under visible light irradiation. The composite with molar ratio of Ag2O to TiO2 at 4:10 exhibits the best photocatalytic performance with MO degraded 93% in 6 min. The superior activity is mainly attributed to the surface plasmon resonance(SPR) effect of metallic Ag in-situ produced during the photocatalytic process, which can favor electron transfer to the conduction band of TiO2. This leads to the efficient separation of photogenerated carriers, thus a superior photodegradation activity. Moreover, the energy band alignments of Ag2O/TiO2 heterostructure are calculated, which provides strong support for the proposed mechanism.展开更多
