Abstract
A novel Bi-composite photocatalyst BiVO4/g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 with a double Z-scheme structure was prepared by hydrothermal method assisted by honeysuckle extract. When the mass fraction of Ag3PO4 in the composite is 10 %, the inactivation rates of E.coli and S. aureus were 6.9 and 4.6 log, respectively. The MIC results were 0.6 and 0.8 mg/ml, respectively. The capture experiment confirmed that h+ and O2− were the main active substances that catalyzed bacteriostasis. Double Z heterojunction reduces the photochemical corrosion of Ag3PO4, changes the transmission path of photogenerated electrons, and then promotes the separation of photogenerated electron holes, thus obtaining significant photocatalytic activity.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
