Abstract
Constructing heterojunction is an effective strategy to enhance photocatalytic performance of photocatalysts. Herein, we fabricated ZnTiO3/Bi4NbO8Cl heterojunction with improved performance via a typical mechanical mixing method. The rhodamine (RhB) degradation rate over heterojunction is higher than that of individual ZnTiO3 or Bi4NbO8Cl under Xenon-arc lamp irradiation. Combining ZnTiO3 with Bi4NbO8Cl can inhibit the recombination of photo-excited carriers. The improved quantum efficiency was demonstrated by transient-photocurrent responses (PC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and time-resolved PL (TRPL) spectra. This research may be valuable for photocatalysts in the industrial application.

光催化性能增强的ZnTiO 3 / Bi 4 NbO 8 Cl异质结的构建
摘要
构建异质结是提高光催化剂光催化性能的有效策略。在这里,我们通过典型的机械混合方法制备了具有改进性能的ZnTiO 3 / Bi 4 NbO 8 Cl异质结。在氙弧灯照射下,异质结上的罗丹明(RhB)降解速率高于单个ZnTiO 3或Bi 4 NbO 8 Cl。ZnTiO 3与Bi 4 NbO 8的结合Cl可以抑制光激发载流子的重组。瞬态光电流响应(PC),电化学阻抗谱(EIS),光致发光(PL)光谱和时间分辨PL(TRPL)光谱证明了量子效率的提高。该研究对于工业应用中的光催化剂可能是有价值的。
