Abstract:
Ag nanoparticles loaded CdMoO4 photocatalysts were prepared via a hydrothermal process followed by the sodium borohydride reduction method. The composition and structure of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The photo-response and surface state of the catalysts were investigated by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effect of the loaded amount of Ag nanoparticles on the photocatalytic activity of CdMoO4 photocatalyst for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light and the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol under visible light were investigated. The results showed that the composite photocatalysts exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to pure CdMoO4. The mechanism was studied by employing chemical scavengers technology, which indicated that O-2(-)center dot and center dot OH are the main species in the photocatalytic process.
