Fabrication of In2S3/In2O3 by the Sulfurization of In-MOFs Derived In2O3 for Efficient Photodegradation of Methyl Blue
In2S3/In2O3 composites were fabricated by annealing using metal-organic framework (In-MOF) as precursor, following by sulfurization of In2O3. Structural characterization showed that two kinds of In2S3/In2O3 with different morphologies were obtained by controlling the pH condition during the sulfurization process. Optical characterization results revealed that In2S3/In2O3 heterojunctions display an evidently decreased visible light emission and enhanced visible light absorption compared with that of pure In2O3. The In2S3/In2O3 heterojunction exhibited improved visible-light photocatalytic activities, the optimal composite (pH=2) showed the highest efficiency of 91.14%. The improvement of photocatalytic performance was attributed to the construction of heterojunction.
