Abstract:
A ternary Ag/AgCl/Bi2MoO6 plasmonic photocatalyst was successfully fabricated through a two-step synthesis method. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The DRS results showed that the visible light absorption of the Ag/AgCl/ Bi2MoO6 composite had been greatly enhanced owing to the surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) of Ag-0 particles. The SEM and TEM images showed that the obtained flower-like Bi2MoO6 microspheres were composed of nanoplates, on the surface of which Ag/AgCl particles were distributed. In the photocatalytic degradation of dyes, Ag/AgCl/Bi2MoO6 photocatalysts exhibited significantly enhanced activities compared with Bi2MoO6. It was also found that the components of Ag/AgCl/Bi2MoO6 have a great influence on the activity. Controlled experiments proved that the degradation of pollutants over Ag/AgCl/Bi2MoO6 was mainly ascribed to the strong oxidation ability of photo-generated holes. On the basis of band structure analysis and active species trapping experimental results, a photocatalytic mechanism is also proposed.
