2D/2D layered BiOIO3/g-C3N4 S-scheme heterojunction for photocatalytic NO oxidation

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2024.01.048

Abstract

Abstract: It is essential to promote interfacial separation and charge migration in heterojunctions for effectively driving surface photocatalytic reactions. In this work, we report the construction of a 2D/2D layered BiOIO₃/g-C₃N₄ (BIO/CN) heterojunction for photocatalytic NO removal. The BIO/CN heterojunction exhibits a remarkably higher NO photo-oxidation removal rate (46.9%) compared to pristine BIO (20.1%) and CN (25.9%) under visible-light irradiation. Additionally, it effectively suppresses the formation of toxic NO₂ intermediates during photocatalytic reaction. The improved photocatalytic performance of BIO/CN composite is caused by its S-scheme charge carrier transport mechanism, which is supported by Density Functional Theory simulations of work function and electron density difference, along with in-situ irradiated X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance analyses. This S-scheme structure improves the interfacial carrier separation efficiency and retains the strong photo-redox ability. Our study demonstrates that construction of a S-scheme heterojunction is significant in the design and preparation of highly efficient photocatalysts for air purification.

Key words: BiOIO₃, g-C₃N₄, S-scheme heterojunction, Photocatalysis, NO_x removal
