Abstract:

A photomicrocalorimeter-fluorescence spectrometer was applied to obtain in-situ thermodynamics, kinetics and 3D fluorescence spectra of Rhodamine B photocatalysis over g-C3N4@Ag3PO4 nanocomposites. And its mechanism was investigated by coupling the thermodynamics and its spectroscopic information. Consequently, the whole process underwent an initial endothermic reaction and a subsequent exothermic stage, and finally maintained a stable exothermic platform. The intensity of fluorescence emission peak of Rhodamine B over g-C3N4@Ag3PO4 decreased sharply within the illumination of 10 min, its degradation rate reached 92.9%, which was 2.06 times that over g-C3N4. Subsequently, the photodegradation of the ring and intermediates without fluorescent chromophores were dominated, which maintained a stable exothermic rate of -(0.226±0.0916) mJ/s with a pseudo-zero order process. This process was the rate-determining step. Therefore, Rhodamine B photocatalysis was a pseudo-zero-order process rather than a first order process.
