Abstract

The wide bandgap structures and rapid carrier recombination are major factors limiting the photocatalytic activity of semiconductors. In this work, one dimension (1D) g-C3N4 with narrowed bandgap (1DCN) and three dimension (3D) Bi2MoO6 with inter-crossed nanosheet structure were combined into a heterojunction by a simple self-assembly method, which greatly improved the degradation efficiency of pollutants (methylene blue (MB) and Cr(VI)). The results showed that the degradation efficiency of MB by 1DCN/Bi2MoO6 could reach 97% after 210 min, and the reduction rate of Cr(VI) could reach more than 75% within 50 min under an illumination source of a 500W lamp source. The trapping analyses were performed and exhibited that the key reactive species in the 1DCN/Bi2MoO6 photodegradation were ·O2 and OH radicals in the reaction. In addition, the combined structure of 1D/3D effectively reduces the electron transport distance and increases the electron transfer rate, thereby further improving the catalytic effect of the heterojunction. The excellent catalytic activities of 1DCN/Bi2MoO6 have broad application prospects and provide reference for the combination of other heterostructures.
