This study successfully prepared a novel multi-component composite photocatalyst, which showed high efficiency in degrading organic dyes and reducing heavy metal ions under visible light. By using PDA as an effective linker, the compatibility issue between different components was well addressed.
The design and preparation of highly efficient and durable visible-light-driven photocatalysts remain a great challenge in the environment remediation. In this paper, a new multi-component composite, Fe3O4@TiO2@PDA/SiW11V-Ag, is successfully fabricated by in situ assembling Ag nanoparticles (NPs) onto polydopamine (PDA) and mono-vanadium substituted silicotungstate (SiW11VO406-, simplified as SiW11V) co-encapsulated Fe3O4@TiO2 magnetic microspheres. In the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) and photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light, the multi-component composite displays the enhanced catalytic efficiency in comparison with other catalysts with less-components. Structure-reactivity relationship is established based on the correlation between photocatalytic efficiency and transient photocurrent intensity. Notably, the multi-component composite exhibits high stability and durability in wide range of pH aqueous solutions and most of organic solvents. The successful preparation of this novel type of materials provides a promising approach for constructing stable photocatalysts with multi-components, where poor compatibility of each component can be well bridged via PDA as an efficient linker and charge transport.
