Abstract:
Integrated membranes with filtration and photocatalytic functions have been considered as an effective strategy for purifying flowing wastewater, but the design and preparation of high-efficiency and low-cost membranes is still of great urgency. Herein, we report efficient recyclable BiOBrxI1-x fibrous filter membranous photocatalyst prepared through the in-situ growth of BiOBrxI1-x solid-solutions with tunable band-gaps on carbon fiber cloth (CFC). The fabrication was performed via a facile dipping-solvothermal synthesis of BiOBrxI1-x solid-solutions nanoplates on CFC with different I/Br ratios in the precursor solution. With the increase of I/Br ratio from 0 to 4, CFC/BiOBrxI1-x solid-solutions exhibit a re-shifted in the photoabsorption edge from 420 to 620 nm, leading to the tuning of the band-gap from 2.49 to 1.81 eV. Under visible light illumination for 120 min, CFC/ BiOBrxI1-x solid-solutions have the tuned photocatalytic activity, where CFC/BiOBr0.8I0.2 shows the highest degradation efficiency toward various antibiotics (such as levofloxacin (LVFX, 94.1%), ciprofloxacin (CIP, 94.5%), and tetracycline (TC, 98.9%)) as well as dyes (such as acid orange 7 (AO7, 91.4%). Especially, when CFC/BiOBr0.8I0.2 is used as a flexible membrane to a construct multi-grade unit for treating the flowing sewage, the degradation efficiency of LVFX goes up from 3.9% in the first grade to 96.2% in the tenth grade. Therefore, the present CFC/BiOBr0.8I0.2 not only possesses great potential as a flexible membrane-shaped photocatalyst for purifying the flowing sewage efficiently but also provides some insights for developing new types of purifying membranes and devices.
