The establishment of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and an internal electric field (IEF) has been recognized as an effective technique for optimizing pollutant treatment in aquatic environments. Herein, we synthesized a novel 2D/2D Pt@BiOBr/Bi 2 WO 6 S-scheme heterojunction that establishes robust interfacial connections to enhance electron transport through minimized pathways, while simultaneously increasing active site availability. Subsequently, noble metal Pt was employed to modify the BiOBr/Bi 2 WO 6 composite material, thereby inducing SPR and broadening the light absorption range. Impressively, the optimized Pt@BiOBr/Bi 2 WO 6 demonstrates a significantly enhanced degradation efficiency for organic pollutants, primarily due to the synergistic effects of SPR and IEF. The degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCL) through the ternary heterojunction 2-PBB can achieve 100 % within 30 min under 500 W of visible light irradiation, showcasing impressive cyclic stability. Furthermore, the developed photocatalyst also demonstrated remarkable degradation efficiency for organic dyes such as Rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO). This work demonstrates an original approach to the fabrication of Pt-modified S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with high effectiveness.
In this study, the BPTCD/g-C3N4heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method. BPTCD (3,3′,4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride) is immobilised on the surface of g-C3N4by non-covalent π-π stacking. The BPTCD/g-C3N4heterojunction photocatalyst is an all-organic photocatalyst with significantly improved photocatalytic performance compared with g-C3N4. BPTCD/g-C3N4-60% was able to effectively degrade MO solution (10 mg/L) to 99.9% and 82.8% in 60 min under full spectrum and visible light. The TOC measurement results indicate that MO can ultimately be decomposed into H2O and CO2through photocatalytic action. The photodegradation of methyl orange by BPTCD/g-C3N4composite materials under sunlight is mainly attributed to the successful construction of the heterojunction structure and its excellent π-π stacking effect. Superoxide radicals (•O2−) were found to be the main active species, while•OH and h+played a secondary role. The synthesised BPTCD/g-C3N4also showed excellent stability in the activity of photodegradation of MO in wastewater, with the performance remaining above 90% after three cycles. The mechanism of the photocatalytic removal of MO dyes was also investigated by the trap agent experiments. Additionally, BPTCD/g-C3N4-60% demonstrated exceptional photodegradation performance in the degradation of methylene blue (MB). BPTCD/g-C3N4heterojunctions have great potential to degrade organic pollutants in wastewater under solar irradiation conditions.
