Remediation of antibiotics by photocatalysis technique has been regarded as a promising route to tackle with the environmental pollution affecting human survival and development. In this work, brookite TiO 2 nanorods with different oxygen vacancy have been synthesized through tailoring the volume of ethylene glycol by hydrothermally treatment with NaTiOx-nanoassembly. After constitute and morphology confirmation with different characterizations, their photocatalytic performances are evaluated via ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic degradation experiments. The result shows that the TiO 2 -0 has the highest photocatalytic efficiency towards CIP degradation, comparing with TiO 2 -15 and TiO 2 -30 samples. Although the TiO 2 -30 has high concentration oxygen vacancy, it exhibits excellent adsorption ability in the dark, rather than CIP degradation rate. The photo/electrochemical tests suggest the photo-generated electron lifetime, charge transfer ability, and the effective active sites on the material’s surface are inversely proportional to the concentration of oxygen vacancies. It also concludes that rational fabrication conditions tailoring of the photocatalyst could optimize the corresponding capability in the antibiotic degradation process. In addition, the possible degradation pathway is also proposed based on the high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and the acute toxicity changes in the degradation process are also predicted. Graphical Abstract
Constructing Z-scheme heterojunction has been regarded as a fascinating method to enhance the charge carrier separation rate and retain the high photoredox ability. In this paper, a novel 0D/2D MoS 2 QDs/BiOCl Z-scheme heterojunction with outstanding visible-light photocatalytic performance has been successfully prepared by a facile one-step strategy. The MoS 2 QDs with a diameter of 5 nm were uniformly distributed on the surface of BiOCl nanosheets . The optimized MoS 2 QDs/BiOCl heterojunction showed the most robust CIP and RhB degradation efficiency, which was approximately 32.2 and 44.7 times higher than that of pure BiOCl under visible light irradiation, respectively. This result can be attributed to the synergetic effects of up-conversion and direct Z-scheme heterojunction of the MoS 2 QDs. The optical property , morphology and surface feature of the catalyst were analyzed through the UV–vis DRS, PL , XRD , Raman, FT-IR, XPS, SEM and TEM. The study of ESR characterization and free radical capture experiments confirmed the Z-scheme heterojunction electron transfer route. Finally, a rational photocatalytic mechanism for pollutants degradation over the MoS 2 QDs/BiOCl heterojunctions were proposed. This study may provide a reliable strategy for the construction of Z-scheme bismuth-based heterojunction and its potential application in photocatalytic organic pollutants degradation.
