In this work, Sb 2 MoO 6 was applied to the field of photocatalysis and employed to modify g-C 3 N 4 for the first time so as to construct the Sb 2 MoO 6 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction. Results reveal that 7.5% Sb 2 MoO 6 /g-C 3 N 4 showed the best activity during photocatalytic RhB degradation and H 2 evolution in water. Rates of RhB degradation and H 2 evolution were 6.6 and 5.4 times higher than those of g-C 3 N 4 , respectively. According to UV−visible absorption spectra, transient photocurrent curves, photoluminescence spectra, and electrochemical impedance spectra, outstanding performance of 7.5% Sb 2 MoO 6 /g-C 3 N 4 was benefited from increases in response of visible light and efficient separation of photogenerated carriers. Furthermore, a possible charge carriers' transmission route was proposed based on the band gap position and characterization consequence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
