Construction of Ag2CO3/Bi2O2CO3 p-n Heterojunction and Its Photocatalytic Activity †

doi:10.7503/cjcu20190329

Abstract

Abstract:

Ag₂CO₃/Bi₂O₂CO₃(BOC) composite photocatalysts were prepared by a successive precipitation strategy. SEM and TEM results showed that Ag₂CO₃ nanoparticles were dispersively deposited on the surface of BOC nanosheets. A good p-n heterojunction structure was formed between the two semiconductors. The surface composite of Ag₂CO₃ effectively widened the light absorption of BOC and promoted the separation of photoinduced carriers. Accordingly, the photoactivity of Ag₂CO₃/BOC composite was greatly improved. In particular, the sample with Ag₂CO₃ content of 0.62% showed the best photocatalytic behavior with degradation rate improved by 1.8 times compared with that of BOC. Combining the detected oxidation species and the band positions of the semiconductors, the formation of space charge layer and the charge migration at the p-n heterojunction interface of Ag₂CO₃ and BOC were proposed.

Key words: Bi₂O₂CO₃, Ag₂CO₃, p-n Heterojunction, Photocatalysis, Charge migration
