The synthesis of Ag/AgCl/BiFeO3 photocatalyst with enhanced visible photocatalytic activity
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A novel AgCl/Ag/BiFeO 3 photocatalyst was synthesized via an ultrasonic-assisted precipitation-photoreduction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and photoluminescence emission spectra (PL) analysis were implemented to characterize the composition, morphology, structure, and optical property of the as-synthesized photocatalyst. For the decomposition of methyl orange (MO) and other organic dyes, AgCl/Ag/BiFeO 3 photocatalyst manifested much superior visible-light catalytic activity than pure BiFeO 3 and AgCl/Ag. Based on the trapping experiments and band structure analysis, a probable Z-scheme light catalytic mechanism was proposed.
