AbstractIn this revision, a series of novel visible-light-driven (VLD) CeO2/PbWO4 nanocomposites (NCs) were effectively fabricated by facile hydrothermal preparation way. The UV–Vis absorption spectra exposed that CeO2 NPs prolonged the adsorption edge of the CeO2/PbWO4 composite to the extensive visible region, which allied to decreases of the bandgap. As-prepared CeO2/PbWO4 NCs revealed superior photocatalytic action under visible-light and could degrade the Methylene Blue (MB) dye solution in 140 min. The photodegradation efficacy of CeO2/PbWO4 NCs was improved catalytic activity, which is around 1.45 and 2.7 times that of CeO2 and PbWO4 nanoparticles (NPs) individually. Besides, the CeO2/PbWO4 catalysts display notable stability and reusability performance in four succeeding cycles. The development in the photocatalytic enactment of combined CeO2/PbWO4 nanocomposite could be recognized not only to the sturdy visible-light absorption responses and separating the photoexcited electron–hole pairs. Also, the plausibly systematic illumination of charge transference and exploitation of reactive species for superior photocatalytic action in visible-light have been discussed. It is projected that the CeO2/PbWO4 NCs could be used as effective photocatalysts for promising applications for environmental wastewater refinement.

In this study, the Ag3PO4/SnO2 heterojunction on carbon cloth (Ag3PO4/SnO2/CC) was successfully fabricated via a facile two-step process. The results showed that the Ag3PO4/SnO2/CC heterojunction exhibited a remarkable photocatalytic performance for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB), under visible light irradiation. The calculated k values for the degradation of RhB and MB over Ag3PO4/SnO2/CC are 0.04716 min−1 and 0.04916 min−1, which are higher than those calculated for the reactions over Ag3PO4/SnO2, Ag3PO4/CC and SnO2/CC, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity could mainly be attributed to the improved separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, after the formation of the Ag3PO4/SnO2/CC heterojunction. Moreover, carbon cloth with a large specific surface area and excellent conductivity was used as the substrate, which helped to increase the contact area of dye solution with photocatalysts and the rapid transfer of photogenerated electrons. Notably, when compared with the powder catalyst, the catalysts supported on carbon cloth are easier to quickly recycle from the pollutant solution, thereby reducing the probability of recontamination.
