摘要
Visible light-driven photocatalyst has been studied worldwide for wastewater treatment. In the present study, nanoplate-like heterostructured BiOBr/FeBr2/BiBr (BFB-a,b,c) novel photocatalysts have been synthesized by fine-tuning the pH (~6.46, ~7.71, ~9.16 for BFB- a, b, c samples, respectively) of the solution employing a facile water-bath method. Different physicochemical processes have been employed to characterize these heterostructured materials. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanocomposites has been primarily investigated with the aqueous solution of an organic dye Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light illumination. It is noticed that the photodegradation efficiency of synthesized nanocomposites has been significantly enhanced compared to the pure BiOBr compound. The photocatalytic activity also increases ~3 times with the increasing pH value. The BFB-c nanocomposite shows ~81% RhB degradation within 120 min under visible light and ~100% degradation with 0.1 mL of isopropyl alcohol. Scavenger tests have identified the proper radical of the photocatalytic reaction. The faster rate of the photocatalytic process has been interpreted by the interfacial consecutive dual Z scheme electron transfer mechanism. This photocatalytic technique has also been successfully applied to Methylene Blue (MB) and Methyl Orange (MO)organic dyes. The BFB nanocomposites can be used as an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst for the photodegradation of organic dye pollutants dissolved in wastewater.
