Carbon quantum dots/BiVO4 S-scheme piezo-photocatalysts improved carrier separation for efficient antibiotic removal

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2024.02.073

Abstract

Abstract: Reasonable design of an efficient S-scheme photocatalyst remains an ongoing challenge due to the limitation of interfacial charge separation efficiency. Herein, CQDs/BiVO₄ S-scheme heterojunction with Bi-O-C bond was synthesized by introducing carbon quantum dots (CQDs) growth on BiVO₄ piezo-photocatalyst and absorbed visible light up to 750 nm. Under light + ultrasonic conditions, the reaction rate constant (k) of BVO/C-0.10 reached 0.0517 min^-1 on tetracycline (TC) degradation, which was 2.24 and 4.04 times higher than those of BiVO₄ and CQDs, respectively. The enhanced performance was attributed to the improved efficiency of the photogenerated carrier separation, originating from the combination of piezoelectric effect and S-scheme heterojunction with Bi-O-C bond. The Bi-O-C bond at the CQDs (3-8 nm) and BiVO₄ interfaces connected the two semiconductor materials and provided an atomic-level interface channel for carrier migration. The piezoelectric properties of the composites were investigated by piezo-response force microscopy (PFM). Based on Mott-Schottky curves, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scavenging experiments, the possible piezo-photocatalytic mechanism was proposed in combination with the band structures and characteristics of CQDs and BiVO₄. This work furnishes unique insights into developing efficient S-scheme piezo-photocatalysts for purifying wastewater.
