Abstract

Photocatalytic degradation is an effective method for treating environmental pollutants.Bismuth oxychloride(BiOCl) has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional photocatalysts and has shown excellent performance.BiOCl catalyst was synthesized by a simple mechanical agitation method,and its morphology,composition,structure,specific surface area and optical properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),N2 adsorption?desorption and UV-Vis-diffuse reflectance(UV-VIS-DRS).The results showed that the as?obtained BiOCl exhibited a two?dimensional nanosheet morphology with a band gap of 3.3 eV.The photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol(PNP) was employed as a model reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of BiOCl.Bene?ting from the high exposed(110) facet,degradation of PNP could be 99.7% by BiOCl with catalyst concentration of 0.4 g/L in 80 min. Kinetic studies showed that the degradation process was following the first order kinetic model with the kinetic constant of 0.043 min-1. Radical capture experiment demonstrated that ·O2- and ·OH played the main roles in the degradation process.Besides,the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of p-nitrophenol by BiOCl was also proposed. The results offered valuable information and reference for the treatment of wastewater through photocatalytic processes.
