Abstract

A novel biomass carbon (BC) modified Z-scheme g-C₃N₄/Co₃O₄ heterojunction photocatalyst (BC/g-C₃N₄/Co₃O₄) has been constructed via a facile approach. In addition, various kinds of characterization methods, including TEM, XPS, UV-vis DRS, VSM, photoluminescence spectra, photocurrent response, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, etc. are applied to investigate the morphology structure, optical property, magnetic properties and electronic properties of BC/g-C₃N₄/Co₃O₄. The BC/g-C₃N₄/Co₃O₄ is applied as novel photocatalyst to degrade various pollutants and it exhibits remarkable photocatalytic activity and stability as compared to pure g-C₃N₄ and Co₃O₄. Furthermore, the BC/g-C₃N₄/Co₃O₄ can be effectively separated from solution in favor of practical applications.
