Facile synthesis of AgIO3/BiOIO3 Z-scheme binary heterojunction with enhanced photocatalytic performance for diverse persistent organic pollutants degradation

A Z-scheme 2D/0D ZnIn2S4/ZnO heterostructure for efficient photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline: energy band engineering and morphology modulation

“…1,2 Many advanced technologies with high efficiency and low costs have been developed to treat POPs, including adsorption, 3 thermal catalysis, 4 electrolysis, 5 and photocatalysis. 6 Among these methods, photocatalysis based on semiconductors (e.g., TiO 2 , 7 ZnO, 8 CdS, 9 and BiVO 4 (ref.…”

Construction of BiOIO3/AgIO3 Z-Scheme Photocatalysts for the Efficient Removal of Persistent Organic Pollutants under Natural Sunlight Illumination

“…Consequently, the valence band positions ( E VB ) for AgIO 3 and BiOIO 3 are calculated to be 3.91 and 2.26 eV, respectively. The potentials for O 2 / • O 2 – and • OH/H 2 O are −0.33, and 2.38 eV, respectively . The CBs of AgIO 3 and BiOIO 3 are more positive and negative than the potentials of O 2 / • O 2 – , respectively, so electrons on the CB of BiOIO 3 but not AgIO 3 can reduce adsorbed O 2 into • O 2 – .…”

A rational strategy for substantially enhancing the solar-utilization efficiency and organic-pollutant-degradation rate via mediated central processing unit filling

“…The degradation rates of methylene blue and rhodamine B were 99.2% and 91.07% after processing for 3 h under 1 sun irradiation, respectively. Chu et al 24 synthesized AgIO 3 /BiOIO 3 heterojunctions by an in situ growth operation with BiOIO 3 as the supporting substrates. The separation and migration efficiencies of charge carriers were significantly enhanced due to the high-quality close contact heterojunction interface.…”
