Abstract

Ternary heterojunction TiO2/g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 photocatalyst,loading the calcinated TiO2/g-C3N4 composite on the surface of Ag3PO4,was successfully prepared by in⁃situ precipitation for the degradation of Rhodamine B(RhB) dye.The composition,microstructure and physicochemical properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),ultraviolet visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV-vis DRS).The results showed that TiO2 nanoparticles with the particle size of about 100 nm were uniformly supported on the surface of g-C3N4 and Ag3PO4 in TiO2/g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 photocatalyst,and the absorption edge of the heterojunction underwent a red shift.Excellent photocatalytic activity of TiO2/g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 under visible light irradiation was demonstrated by degrading RhB dye.After exposure to visible light for 7 min,the degradation rate of RhB by TiO2/g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 photocatalyst could reach 99%,which was obviously higher than that of pure g-C3N4,TiO2,Ag3PO4 and binary complex,and its photocatalytic degradation rate remained above 92% after repeated use for 5 times,indicating its strong photocatalytic activity and excellent stability.Moreover,the photocatalytic degradation mechanism was explored through the capture experiments.In this ternary heterojunction,g-C3N4 with π-conjugate structure facilitated charge transfer.Under the irradiation of visible light,the photogenerated electrons accumulated in the conduction band of g-C3N4,and the photogenerated holes accumulated in the valence band of Ag3PO4 and TiO2,thus e--h+ pairs were separated effectively to improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers.The primary active species of photocatalyst were photogenerated holes(h+) and superoxide free radicals(·O2-),while e- basically had no effect.
