Novel visible-light responded aluminosilicophosphate-5 (SAPO-5)/g-C3N4 composite has been easily constructed by thermal polymerization for the mixture of SAPO-5, NH4Cl, and dicyandiamide. The photocatalytic activity of SAPO-5/g-C3N4 is evaluated by degrading RhB (30 mg/L) under visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm). The effects of SAPO-5 incorporation proportion and initial RhB concentration on the photocatalytic performance have been discussed in detail. The optimized SAPO-5/g-C3N4 composite shows promising degradation efficiency which is 40.6% higher than that of pure g-C3N4. The degradation rate improves from 0.007 min−1 to 0.022 min−1, which is a comparable photocatalytic performance compared with other g-C3N4-based heterojunctions for dye degradation. The migration of photo-induced electrons from g-C3N4 to the Al site of SAPO-5 should promote the photo-induced electron-hole pairs separation rate of g-C3N4 efficiently. Furthermore, the redox reactions for RhB degradation occur on the photo-induced holes in the g-C3N4 and Al sites in SAPO-5, respectively. This achievement not only improves the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 efficiently, but also broadens the application of SAPOs in the photocatalytic field.

Recently a novel sliver oxide Ag3AsO4has been found to be an excellent photocatalyst with strong oxidation capability for pollutant degradation under visible light. But the origin of its high visible light photocatalytic activity was unclear which hindered further research of Ag3AsO4. For clarifying that, the electronic structure and optical properties of Ag3AsO4have been analyzed by the hybrid density functional method. The results reveal that the Ag3AsO4presents a narrow band gap with strong oxidation ability of the valence bands maximum edge and the highly delocalized charge distribution of the conduction bands minimum is beneficial for the carriers transfer to surface to participate in the photocatalytic reaction. These results provide clear explanations of the excellent visible light photocatalytic performance of the Ag3AsO4from microscopic aspect. And it is significant to design novel materials with high photocatalytic performance.
