摘要
According to the energy band theory, Bi(NO3)3·5H2O was used as bismuth source to synthesize Bi2O3-Bi2WO6 composite photocatalyst materials by hydrothermal calcination. The samples were characterized by means of SEM, XRD, XPS, DRS and EIS, respectively, and the photocatalytic activity was assessed in terms of reduction of U(VI) under visible light irradiation. The results show that the prepared Bi2O3-Bi2WO6 composite materials exhibit enhanced photocatalytic performance for the photo-reduction of U(VI) than the pure Bi2WO6, the optimized photocatalytic efficiency for U(VI) is achieved when the mole ratios of Bi2O3 to Bi2WO6 is 2.4:1. The improved photocatalytic activity is ascribed to the direct Z-scheme heterojunction between Bi2O3 and Bi2WO6, resulting in the rapid interfacial transfer of photoelectron-hole and wide light response range. This work provides a new idea to design and synthesize the photocatalysts with high visible light activity and understand the enhanced photocatalytic reduction mechanism of U(VI). © 2021, Editorial Office of Acta Materiae Compositae Sinica.
