摘要

Herein, we investigate the ability of Z-scheme Bi2S3/Ag2S QDs hybrid heterojunction immobilized onto a fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate to obtain FTO/Bi2S3/Ag2S QDs thin film for photocatalytically degrading sulfamethoxazole (SMX) antibiotic in addition to real pharmaceutical wastewater sample under visible-lighting exposure. The hybrid photocatalyst FTO/Bi2S3/Ag2S QDs heterojunction film obtained high photodegradation efficiency (97% of SMX degradation and 79.0% of TOC reduction) within 1 h, with a degradation rate constant k1 of 0.061 min− 1. Moreover, 89% chemical-oxygen-demand (COD) and 77.5% total-organic-carbon (TOC) from the real wastewater sample were removed within 120 min. The fabricated photocatalytic thin film was revealed to be effective and recyclable after five successive rounds, signifying the high stability behavior. Besides, the trapping studies validated that O2 and h+ were the controlled degradation species, while OH radicals played a slight role. The Z-scheme mechanism was proposed to describe the charge transfer pathways.
