Ternary AgCl/Ag/Bi2O2CO3 was designed as novel indirect Z-scheme photocatalysts via in situ precipitation and subsequent photo-reduction process. The morphology, structure, chemical composition, optical and photoelectrochemical properties were characterized via various methods. The photocatalyst showed highly improved photocatalytic performance for Tetracycline (TC), Rhodamine B (RhB) and Carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation. The enhanced photocatalytic performance was mainly due to the formation of ternary AgCl/Ag/Bi2O2CO3 with indirect Z-scheme structures. The possible photocatalytic mechanism was also discussed based on the trapping experiment and band structures of the photocatalyst.

Loading a noble metal on Bi4Ti3O12 could enable the formation of the Schottky barrier at the interface between the former and the latter, which causes electrons to be trapped and inhibits the recombination of photoelectrons and photoholes. In this paper, AgPt/Bi4Ti3O12 composite photocatalysts were prepared using the photoreduction method, and the effects of the type and content of noble metal on the photocatalytic performance of the catalysts were investigated. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) showed that the loading of AgPt bimetallic nanoparticles significantly improved the catalytic performance of Bi4Ti3O12. When 0.10 wt% noble metal was loaded, the degradation rate for RhB of Ag0.7Pt0.3/Bi4Ti3O12 was 0.027 min−1, which was respectively about 2, 1.7 and 3.7 times as that of Ag/Bi4Ti3O12, Pt/Bi3Ti4O12 and Bi4Ti3O12. The reasons may be attributed as follows: (i) the utilization of visible light was enhanced due to the surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag and Pt in the visible region; (ii) Ag nanoparticles mainly acted as electron acceptors to restrain the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs under visible light irradiation; and (iii) Pt nanoparticles acted as electron cocatalysts to further suppress the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The photocatalytic performance of Ag0.7Pt0.3/Bi4Ti3O12 was superior to that of Ag/Bi4Ti3O12 and Pt/Bi3Ti4O12 owing to the synergistic effect between Ag and Pt nanoparticles.
