Abstract
Zn–SnO2/BiOBr, a novel heterojunction material for photocatalytic dye degradation, was synthesized successfully using the one-step hydrothermal method. The formation of the heterojunction enhanced the vacancy coupling effect. The photocatalytic experiment results showed that the degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) due to 0.3Zn–SnO2/BiOBr (the heterojunction formed when the molar ratio of Zn–SnO2 to BiOBr was 0.3) within 15 min was 9.27 and 476.9 times that of BiOBr and Zn–SnO2, respectively. Additionally, the degradation rate of basic fuchsin (BF) due to 0.3Zn–SnO2/BiOBr was 4.2 and 21.9 times that of BiOBr and Zn–SnO2, respectively. The significantly improved photocatalytic performance was because many oxygen vacancies in Zn–SnO2/BiOBr collaborated with the type-II heterojunction to promote a narrow bandgap value efficiently, increasing the photogenerated electrons (e–) and hole (h+), an increased charge separation efficiency under visible light, and favored the photocatalytic degradation of dyes.
