Bi metal deposited on Bi2MoO6 composite photocatalysts have been successfully synthesized via a simple reduction method at room temperature with using NaBH4 as the reducing agent. The photocatalytic activity of the composite was evaluated by degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and bisphenol A (BPA) solution under visible light. The rate constant of Bi/Bi2MoO6 composite to RhB is 10.8 times that of Bi2MoO6, and the degradation rate constant of BPA is 6.9 times of that of Bi2MoO6. Nitrogen absorption–desorption isotherm proved that the increase of specific surface area is one of the reasons for the improvement of photocatalytic degradation activity of Bi/Bi2MoO6 composites. The higher charge transfer efficiency of Bi/Bi2MoO6 is found through the characterization of the photocurrent and impedance, which are attributed to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect produced by the introduction of the metal Bi monomer in the composite. Free radical capture experiments proved that cavitation is the main active species. Based on the above conclusions, a possible mechanism of photocatalytic degradation is proposed.

Ag nanoparticles and GO co-modified Co-g-C3N4 composites were prepared successfully. The visible-light adsorption of the optimized GO-Ag@Co-g-C3N4 was improved significantly by the SPR effect of Ag nanoparticles, and the separation efficiency of photo-induced electron-hole pairs of g-C3N4 was accelerated to a large extent by the heterojunction structure of the composite and the superior conductivity of GO. The optimized GO-Ag@CoCN showed promising degradation efficiency for RhB (10 mg/L) under visible light illumination (λ>420 nm) for 160 min, which was 130% and 16.5% higher than the performance using bare g-C3N4 and optimized Ag@Co-g-C3N4, respectively. This work provided a novel way for improving the optical property and photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4.

Objective of study was the development of core-shell type ZnS-CdS photocatalyst with the stratified morphology. To form the stratified morphology, condition of the precursor is extremely important. For this purpose, three types of precursors, thus core-shell type, egg-shell type and uniform type, was tried to synthesize by utilizing the results of the calculation. The size of the synthesized precursor particles was about 40-100 nm. Main phase of the particle was gradually changed from ZnO (pH8.0) to Cd(OH)2 (pH9.5). Detailed analysis of the synthesized precursor was clearly demonstrated that these have the crystalline structure and each metal element was co-existed in one particle. Therefore, it could be concluded that core-shell type or uniform type precursor was successfully synthesized. Core-shell type ZnS-CdS stratified photocatalyst could be successfully synthesized by sulfurization for 1h, and it shows the high photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation.

Excellent Photocatalytic Activity

CuS hexagonal nanosheet/graphene was fabricated by a facile one-pot microwave-thermal method. The samples possess excellent photocatalytic activity for degradation of organic pollutant under visible light. The high photocatalytic activity was attributed to the deposition of CuS hexagonal nanosheet onto graphene. CuS nanosheet serves as a transporter which efficiently inhibits the recombination of the photo-induced charge carriers in the nanocomposites. The developed method demonstrates a facile approach towards the synthesis of two-dimensional semiconductor-graphene nanocomposites with excellent photocatalytic performance under visible light.
