ABSTRACT
The indiscriminate discharge of micropollutants (e.g., dyes, antibiotics, industrial additives, etc.) represents a significant risk to human health, and the removal of these substances from water bodies has become a prominent area of research within the field of environmental remediation. A simple hydrothermal-precipitation-photoreduction method was employed to synthesize novel Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts of AgBr/CoWO4/Ag. The catalysts demonstrated remarkable degradation capabilities with regard to a range of micropollutants present in wastewater. Of the catalysts tested, 5AgBr/CoWO4/Ag exhibited the highest degradation rates, reaching 98.58% for Rhodamine B, 86.82% for tetracycline hydrochloride, and 95.60% for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole within 60 min. In particular, the reaction kinetic rate of 5AgBr/CoWO4/Ag towards Rhodamine B degradation (k2 = 0.26278 L mg-1·min-1) is 9 times that of AgBr (k2 = 0.02953 L mg-1·min-1) and 113 times that of CoWO4 (k2 = 0.00233 L mg-1·min-1), which serves to highlight the exceptional photocatalytic activity of the material. The experimental data and subsequent analysis indicated that the enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to two factors firstly, the electron mediation by Ag nanoparticles leading to improved charge separation efficiency, and secondly, the formation of Z-scheme heterojunctions between AgBr and CoWO4. The cyclic tests provided confirmation of the excellent stability and recyclability of the AgBr/CoWO4/Ag photocatalysts. It is anticipated that this study will facilitate the development of novel methods for the degradation of refractory micropollutants and provide insights into environmental remediation, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of society.
