CdS/LaFeO3 heterojunctions with improved optical properties for visible-light catalytic applications

扫码查看
Construction of heterojunctions is a normal and effective strategy to improve the photocatalytic per-formances of semiconductors,through which both the lifetime and the redox ability of electrons/holes can be improved,as compared to the respective component.On this basis,we constructed Z-scheme CdS/LaFeO3 heterojunctions(CdS/LFO),by in-situ growing different amounts of CdS on the surface of LaFeO3,for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride(TC)in aqueous solution at room temper-ature.The crystal structure,surface morphology and optoelectronic properties of the CdS/LFO hetero-junctions were systemically characterized to correlate the reaction activity.Photocatalytic tests indicate that the CdS/LFO heterojunctions exhibit promising activity for TC degradation under visible light irra-diation(λ≥ 420 nm),with 85%TC conversion obtained at reaction time of 45 min,which is 3.4 and 1.9 times higher than that of CdS and LaFeO3.The CdS/LFO heterojunctions are also stable in the reaction and can be reused for four cycles with no appreciable activity loss.The applicability of CdS/LFO to photo-catalytic degradation of organic dyes,as well as the reaction mechanism,was also explored.
