Abstract

g-C3N4 yellow powder was prepared by sintering and ultrasonic two-step method using melamine as raw material.Then the CdS/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst with CdS nanoparticles coated to g-C3N4 layer structure was successfully prepared by hydrothermal method using the prepared g-C3N4,sodium sulfide and cadmium acetate as raw materials.The phase composition,microstructure,physical and chemical properties of CdS,g-C3N4 and CdS/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM),ultraviolet-visible-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV-Vis-DRS),X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy(XRF)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).The test results showed that the microstructure of prepared CdS was nanoparticle and g-C3N4 was lamellar structure.In the CdS/g-C3N4 composite materials,the g-C3N4 layer was surrounded by irregular CdS particles,g-C3N4 and CdS were closely combined into a whole composite powder particles.The photocatalytic properties of CdS,g-C3N4 and CdS/g-C3N4 composites were tested using Rhodamine B as target degradation material and xenon lamp as light source.The results showed that CdS/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst had good photocatalytic performance,when the mass ratio of CdS to g-C3N4 was 1∶5,the photocatalytic activity of the composite was significantly stronger than that of single CdS or g-C3N4 sample.The degradation rate of Rhodanine B reached 93.7% after 40 min illumination,which was in line with the first-order kinetic equation,and the degradation rate was 6.6×10-2 min-1.The main active free radical for photodegradation of Rhodamine B was hydroxyl free radical.Based on the mechanism and degradation results,it was speculated that Z-type heterojunction should be formed between CdS and g-C3N4.
