Visible-Light Photocatalytic Degradation Efficiency of Tetracycline and Rhodamine B Using a Double Z-Scheme Heterojunction Catalyst of UiO-66-NH2/BiOCl/Bi2S3

“…However, the photocatalytic ability of BiOCl under visible light is still limited because of its weak visible light absorption capacity and low photogenerated electron−hole pair separation rate. 22−25 Various strategies to enhance the photocatalytic performance of BiOCl include defect construction, 26,27 impurity doping, 28,29 construction of heterojunctions, 30,31 and so on. Among them, construction of heterojunctions, especially Z-scheme hetero- junctions, has been shown to be an effective route that can broaden the light response range and increase the separation of photogenerated electron−hole pairs.…”

“…BiOX (X = Cl, Br, and I)-based semiconductors have become a research hotspot for new visible-light-driven photocatalysts. , In recent years, bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) has gained increasing attention due to its efficient photocatalytic ability, high photocorrosion stability, and regular layered tetragonal matlockite structure. However, the photocatalytic ability of BiOCl under visible light is still limited because of its weak visible light absorption capacity and low photogenerated electron–hole pair separation rate. − Various strategies to enhance the photocatalytic performance of BiOCl include defect construction, , impurity doping, , construction of heterojunctions, , and so on.
