A noble metal-free photocatalyst, the porous flower spherical Ni5P4 coupled g-CsN4 quantum dots (GCNQDs) was prepared by a simple ultrasonic impregnation method for the degradation of norfloxacin in wastewater. The GCNQDs exhibit obvious quantum confining effect due to its small particle size. For Ni5P4, its large specific surface area is conducive to the adhesion of GCNQDs, so that GCNQDs/Ni5P4 composite photocatalysts have excellent photocatalytic performance. In addition, the important role of porous NisP4 in promoting electron-hole separation and photocatalytic performance was confirmed by experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was found that the GCNQDs and Ni5P4 formed a Shottky junction. At the same time, the GCNQDs/ NisP4 composite photocatalysts showed good stability in the cycle test, which made it become a kind of green, efficient and repeatable photocatalytic material. This work proposed the degradation mechanism of GCNQDs/8% Ni5P4 composite photocatalysts and the possible degradation path of norfloxacin, providing a new idea for the design of highly active composite photocatalysts.
