摘要

Using hydrothermal and calcination techniques, the Z-scheme WO3/RGO/g-C3N4 heterojunction composites were successfully fabricated. As an electron mediator, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with high conductivity can generate high-speed charge transfer channels between g-C3N4 and WO3, thereby promoting rapid electron transfer. Moreover, the thin and wrinkled structure of RGO exposes more edges and defects, which can better contact g-C3N4 and WO3. Photoluminescence test confirmed that RGO’s excellent charge transfer characteristics effectively suppressed the electron–hole recombination of WO3/RGO/g-C3N4. Visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation experiments were conducted using rhodamine B (Rh B) as a representative pollutant. The results show that compared with WO3 and g-C3N4, the visible photocatalytic activity of WO3/RGO/g-C3N4 composites is significantly improved. WO3/RGO/g-C3N4 composites have higher surface area, greater abundance of active sites and better hole-electron separation rate. The construction of this ternary system effectively promotes the migration of interface charge carriers, effectively suppresses charge recombination, and results in improved photocatalytic activity.
