Abstract
A ternary dual Z-scheme composite gCN/ZnFe2O4/Bi2S3 (ZFO/BS) was synthesized via a facile microwave assisted process and its photocatalytic potential was explored towards visible light driven removal of 2,4,6-triboundFe(2+/3+)|(surf.),Zn+/2+|(surf.)andBi(3+/4+)|(surf.) were effective towards charge carrier channelization and evolution cholorophenol (TCP) with subsequent peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Surface of reactive species. Highest catalytic activity was experienced for the catalyst with 10 wt% Bi2S3 (ZFO/BS(10)) and 98.9% TCP was removed with 0.25 gL-1 catalyst and 1.0 gL-1 PMS, under 60 mins visible light irradiation (intensity: 80 W). Construction of dual Z-scheme heterojunction was studied using XPS and the mechanism of e(-)/h(+) separation was elucidated. In-depth radical scavenging and EPR analysis confirmed the coexistence and relative contributions of various reactive radicals towards degradation. Plausible TCP degradation pathway was designed based on intermediate analysis. This study elucidates the superiority of dual Z-scheme ternary heterojunction towards separation of photogenerated charge carriers and mineralization of various emerging contaminants.
