Excellent Photocatalytic Activity

CuS hexagonal nanosheet/graphene was fabricated by a facile one-pot microwave-thermal method. The samples possess excellent photocatalytic activity for degradation of organic pollutant under visible light. The high photocatalytic activity was attributed to the deposition of CuS hexagonal nanosheet onto graphene. CuS nanosheet serves as a transporter which efficiently inhibits the recombination of the photo-induced charge carriers in the nanocomposites. The developed method demonstrates a facile approach towards the synthesis of two-dimensional semiconductor-graphene nanocomposites with excellent photocatalytic performance under visible light.

ZnO/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] nanocomposites were prepared via a facile hydrothermal method by loading different amounts of ZnO onto the surface of Bi4V2O[Formula: see text]. The resulting ZnO/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] composites showed excellent photocatalytic activity than that of pure ZnO under visible light irradiation. When the ratio of ZnO to Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] was 1:1 (ZB2), the photocatalytic activity was best, which could degrade RhB almost completely within 30[Formula: see text]min. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] composites could be mainly ascribed to the efficient charge separation and the increased specific surface area. Based on the experimental and bandgap calculations, a possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed.

CuInS2/Mg(OH)2 (CIS/Mg(OH)2) nanosheets have been prepared for the visible light activated photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The introduction of CuInS2 has proven to enhance the photocatalytic activity of Mg(OH)2 nanosheets. It’s ascribed to the enhanced transfer and separation of charge carriers at the junction interface between CuInS2 and Mg(OH)2. The photocatalytic activity of obtained CIS/Mg(OH)2 is greatly affected by CuInS2 content, pH value, and inorganic ions. Among these samples, 2-CIS/Mg(OH)2 exhibits the excellent photocatalytic activity and durability for the visible light driven removal of TCH after five cycle times. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images indicate that the surface roughness of 2-CIS/Mg(OH)2 is intensively influenced in adsorption-photocatalysis process. The •O2− and •OH radicals are vital for the visible light driven photocatalytic activity of 2-CIS/Mg(OH)2 for TCH removal.
