The photocatalytic activities of the prepared sample were investigated by photocatalytic degradation of ethylene in the gaseous phase under visible light irradiation (λ>450 nm). The results indicate that both of pure TiO2 and InVO4 or their simple mixture show no photocatalytic activities for degradation of ethylene under visible light irradiation. However, as-synthesized InVO4-TiO2 catalyzes the degradation of ethylene into CO2 under visible light irradiation. In addition, the interaction between InVO4 and TiO2 results in some structural distortion to all the crystal forms of TiO2 in as-synthesized catalyst InVO4-TiO2.展开更多

The photocatalytic properties of Bi2WO6-BiPO4 composites were evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B （Rh B） under simulated sunlight irradiation. The results showed that Bi2WO6-BiPO4 photocatalysts displayed much higher photocatalytic performances for Rh B degradation than the single BiPO4 and Bi2WO6. The best photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6-BiPO4 with nearly 100% Rh B degradation located at molar ratio of 1：1 after 20 min irradiation. The enhanced photo-catalytic performance could be mainly ascribed to the formation of heterojunction interface in Bi2WO6-BiPO4 which facilitated the transfer and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, as well as the strong visible light absorption originating from the sensitization role of Bi2WO6 to BiPO4. It was also found that the photodegradation of Rh B molecules was mainly attributed to the oxidation action of the generated O2^· - radicals and partly to the action of hvb^＋ via direct hole oxidation process.展开更多

Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed that InVO4 crystals can be fabricated in different morphologies by simply manipulating the reuction parameters of hydrothermal process. The as-prepared InVO4 photocatalysts exhibited higher photocatalytic activities in the degradation of rhodamine B under visible-light irradiation （λ〉420 nm） compared with commercial P25 TiO2. Furthermore, the as-synthesized InVO4 hierarchical microspheres showed higher photocatalytic activity than that of InVO4 nanowires. Up to 100% Rh B （3 μmol/L） was decolorized after visible-light irradiation for 40 min. In addition, the reason for the difference in the photocatalytic activities for InVO4 hierarchical microspheres and InVO4 nanowires was studied based on their structures and morphologies.展开更多

In this work, a ternary heterostructured Ag-Bi2MoO6/BiPO4 composite was fabricated through a low-temperature solution-phase route for the rst time. The XRD, SEM, EDX and XPS results indicated the prepared sample is a three-phase composite of BiPO4, Bi2MoO6, and Ag. Ag nanopar-ticles were photodeposited on the surface of Bi2MoO6/BiPO4 nanosheets, which not only increase visible-light absorption via the surface plasmon resonance, but also serve as good electron acceptor for facilitating quick photoexcited electron transfer. The interface between Bi2MoO6 and BiPO4 facilitates the migration of photoinduced electrons from Bi2MoO6 to BiPO4, which is also conductive to reduce the recombination of electron-holes. Thus, the ternary heterostructured Ag-Bi2MoO6/BiPO4 composite showed signi cant photocatalytic activity, higher than pure Bi2MoO6, BiPO4, and Bi2MoO6/BiPO4. Moreover, the possible photocatalytic mechanism of the Ag-Bi2MoO6/BiPO4 heterostructure related to the band positions of the semiconductors was also discussed. In addition, the quenching effects of di erent scavengers revealed that the reactive ·OH and O2·- play a major role in the phenol red decolorization.展开更多
