Abstract

The construction of heterojunction photocatalysts with high efficiency for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade organic pollutants has aroused wide concern. Herein, a novel MIL-53(Fe)/SnS 2 Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully prepared by solvothermal method , which was used for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) in the catalyst/PMS system under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the MIL-53(Fe)/SnS 2 -3 % (3 % is the mass ratio of SnS 2 to MIL-53(Fe)) displayed the highest activity reaching a RhB (10 mg/L, 100 mL) removal rate of 85.6 % within 60 min with catalyst and PMS dosage of 0.1 and 0.1 g/L, respectively. The corresponding reaction rate constant exceeded that of MIL-53(Fe) and SnS 2 by a factor of 1.39 and 6.39 times, respectively. The enhanced performance of MIL-53(Fe)/SnS 2 /PMS system can be attributed to the Z-scheme heterojunction formed between MIL-53(Fe) and SnS 2 , which inhibits the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The PMS activation mechanism by MIL-53(Fe)/SnS 2 was proposed based on the detailed catalyst characterization, degradation efficiency tests, electron paramagnetic resonance and radical quenching experiments. Furthermore, the MIL-53(Fe)/SnS 2 exhibited good stability and suitability for different environmental conditions. This work provides a valuable guide for the development of Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOF) composites for photoactivation of PMS to remove organic dyes in aquatic environment.
