Facile Synthesis of a Novel AgIO3/Ctf Heterojunction and Its Adsorption-Photocatalysis Peformance of Organic Pollutants
Summary
This study developed a novel silver iodate / covalent triazine framework (AgIO3/Ctf) heterojunction photocatalyst that efficiently degrades organic pollutants in water under visible light. Advanced photocatalysis represents a promising approach to treating complex wastewater containing emerging contaminants including microplastic-associated chemicals.
With the development of modern industry, the issue of water pollution has garnered increasing attention. Photocatalysis, as a novel green environmental technology that is resource-efficient, environmentally friendly, and highly promising, has found extensive applications in the field of organic pollutant treatment. However, common semiconductor materials exhibit relatively low photocatalytic efficiency in the visible light range or inefficient separation of photogenerated charges, resulting in their limited ability to harness solar energy effectively. Consequently, the development of new photocatalysts has become a pivotal focus in current photocatalysis research to enhance solar energy utilization. This revision provides a brief explanation of the photocatalytic mechanism of the AgIO3/CTF heterojunction photocatalyst. Due to the Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, Ag nanoparticles demonstrate significant absorption in the visible light region, playing a crucial role in the highly efficient photocatalytic reduction of organic pollutants.
