1D Bi2S3 nanorods modified 2D BiOI nanoplates for highly efficient photocatalytic activity: Pivotal roles of oxygen vacancies and Z-scheme heterojunction

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2022.09.037

Abstract

Abstract: In this study, a novel Bi₂S₃/BiOI Z-scheme photocatalyst with 3D porous hierarchical network-like heterostructure (BSBI NHs) and rich oxygen vacancies (OVs) was fabricated by a facile ion exchange method followed by the in-situ growth process. A possible formation mechanism of BSBI NHs was studied, showing the self-assembled process of in-situ interwoven growth of 1D Bi₂S₃ nanorods (NRs) on the surface of 2D BiOI disk-like nanoplates (NPs), which followed the Ostwald ripening and epitaxial growth. The modification of BiOI NPs by Bi₂S₃ NRs brought about the formation of Z-scheme heterojunction and massive OVs, which improved the visible-light response property and promoted the separation of photoexcited charge carriers of BSBI NHs. BSBI NHs exhibited a significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with Bi₂S₃ and BiOI, and BSBI-1 can remove almost all bacteria and Rhodamine B (RhB) after 60 min visible light illumination. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism was studied and speculated based on the tests of active species capture, electron spin resonance (ESR), and density functional theory (DFT) simulation calculation, proving the primary roles of ·OH, ·O₂^- and h⁺ during the photocatalytic reaction. This work provides new insights into the design and exploitation of novel heterojunctions with highly efficient photocatalytic performances for environmental remediation applications.

Key words: Antifouling, Biofouling, BiOI, Photocatalysis, Bi₂S₃
