Photocatalysts are mainly divided into two categories: one is that they have good response to sunlight and visible light, such as BiVO4 and Fe2O3; One is that it has its own defects and can not make full use of the energy converted by visible light. In recent years, a class of oxides have attracted much attention because of their good performance of visible light photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. People also have a strong interest in the research of compound oxides in pollutant degradation. In order to further clarify the photocatalytic mechanism of GCB composite samples, different capture agents were added to determine the main active species in the photocatalytic process. Only through the method of modification, the synergistic effect can enhance its photocatalytic activity. 1% g-C3N4/BiVO4(GCB) sample, drhb = 90.4%, the photocatalytic activity did not change significantly after adding IPA. After adding EDTA and VC, the photocatalytic activity decreased, drhb = 32.6% and drhb = 51%. Therefore, the experiments show that h+ and ·O2- are active species of GCB catalytic system, O2 is more important for RHB degradation.
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.
