Preparation, Characterization and Visible-light Photocatalytic Activities of p-n Heterojunction BiOBr/NaBiO3 Composites†

doi:10.7503/cjcu20140339

Abstract

Abstract:

BiOBr/NaBiO₃ heterostructures were synthesized by a simple chemical etching method using hydrobromic acid as etching agent to react with NaBiO₃. X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra(UV-Vis DRS) and scanning electron microscope(SEM) were employed to study the phase structures, morphologies and optical properties of the samples. The as-prepared samples exhibited more efficient photocatalytic activities than pure NaBiO₃ and BiOBr for the degradation of Rhodamine B(RhB) under visible light irradiation, which could be attributed to the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs caused by the formation of BiOBr/NaBiO₃ heterojunction. Terephthalic acid photoluminescence(TA-PL) probing test and radicals scavenger experiments demonstrated that h⁺ was the dominant reactive species while the effect of ·OH and · $O 2 -$ was negligible. A possible transfer process of photogenerated carriers was proposed based on the band structures of NaBiO₃ and BiOBr and the experimental results.
