Abstract
Natural kaolinite is widely used in the field of photocatalysis as the support material of photocatalyst. However, its weak photochemical activity has severely limited its application as a photocatalyst in photocatalysis. Herein, kaolinite/NiFe layered double oxide (Kaol/NiFe-LDO) heterostructure photocatalyst was successfully constructed to activate peroxymonosulfate for degradation of organic pollutants. The chemical bonds formed at the interface of Kaol/NiFe-LDO heterostructures (HCs) greatly improve the photocatalytic ability of natural Kaol. Additionally, systematic characterization results validate that the Kaol/NiFe-LDO HCs possesses a direct Z-scheme band structure. By utilizing both interfacial chemical bonding and direct Z-type heterostructure effects, the optimized Kaol/NiFe-LDO HCs demonstrates a 2-fold increase in rhodamine B (RhB) degradation and a 6.5-fold increase in orange II (OII) degradation compared to natural Kaol in the presence of PMS as an oxidant. The Kaol/NiFe-LDO HCs photochemically activate the PMS to produce sulfate radicals through photo-generated hole oxidation, thus improving the photocatalytic performance of the system. The present study offers novel insights into the activation of PMS by natural clay minerals for environmental applications.
