Abstract The remove of the organic pollutants in water plays an important role on the environmental protection, thus photocatalysis, as an effective method, has been attained much attention to deal with this problem. In this paper, a composite of g-C3N4 and Mg-Al hydrotalcite derived metal oxides was prepared to degrade these organic pollutants by simple calcination and co-precipitation methods. And Mg-Al hydrotalcite derived metal oxides were successfully coated on the surface of g-C3N4. The photocatalytic degradation rate of methylene blue reached 97.3% within 1h under visible light, and the degradation rate constant was 0.0432min-1, which is 3.6 times that of g-C3N4. In the recycling process of the catalyst, the good stability of photocatalytic degradation was found. Though characterization analysis, more active sites are exposed to absorb more organic pollutants on the mater surface in the presence of the interinserted and coated structures of composite materials, and the "face to face" contact structure between 2D materials is formed to promote the separation of photogenerated carriers. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of the catalyst was explained by free radical scavenging experiment. The material provides an effective method for removing organic pollutants in water, and has broad application prospects.

Abstract A series of rGO/AgBr heterojunction photocatalysts were fabricated through a facile solvothermal method. The rGO/AgBr heterostructures were characterized by XPS, XRD, UV-Vis DRS, SEM, TEM, PL and the transient photocurrent responses. The XRD, SEM, XPS and TEM analyzes indicated that the graphene and silver bromide were successfully compounded without other impurities. The UV-Vis DRS exhibited that the composites have better optical properties than pure silver bromide. The PL and the transient photocurrent responses demonstrated that the addition of graphene significantly promotes the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. Subsequently, the photocatalytic activities of rGO/AgBr composites were studied by degrading Rhodamine B (RhB). It turned out that the degradation rate of RhB by the rGO/AgBr heterojunction photocatalysts were significantly higher than that by pure AgBr. What’s more, to study the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of RhB by rGO/AgBr heterostructures, the trapping experiments were used to identify the main active components. This work confirmed that the photocatalytic degradation performance of the catalyst was greatly improved after doping graphene, which provided certain data support for degradation of organic contaminants in water.

In this paper, CeVO4/TiO2 composite photocatalyst has been characterized by photoelectrochemical and reactive oxygen species trap techniques to reveal the mechanism for photocatalytic degradation of VOCs in gas-phase. Based on the measurement of flatband of the samples and the detection of reactive oxygen species, a visible light-induced photocatalytic degradation mechanism of VOCs on CeVO4/TiO2 is proposed.
