A novel nano-flower M-In adsorbent photocatalyst was successfully synthesized, showing excellent performance in removing tetracycline pollutants. Various models were involved in the adsorption and photodegradation processes, and both h+ and center dot O2- played significant roles in the photocatalysis process.
The synergy of adsorption and photocatalysis has received considerable attention in the field of environmental remediation. In this work, a novel nano-flower MIL-125(Mo)-In2Se3 (M-In) adsorbent photocatalyst was firstly prepared by one-step solvothermal method. Benefiting from the 3D nano-flower structure, tightness 2D/2D heterojunction interface, highly exposed active site of MIL-125(Mo) and the spontaneous polarization of lamellar In2Se3, M-In exhibited an excellent adsorption and photodegradation performance in removal of tetracycline (TC) pollutants. The results of adsorption kinetic and adsorption equilibrium were well fitted by Pseudo-secondorder model and Freundlich isotherm model, indicating that the adsorption progress was non-uniform and multilayer. In addition, the degradation rate of TC reached 94.14% within 120 min under visible light exposure in the presence of optimum ratio M-In-1. The results of trapping experiments, three-dimensional excitationemission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy and liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer showed that h+ played a significant role and center dot O2- also played a role in the photo-degradation process. Hence, the novel adsorbent photocatalyst can be used to treat TC wastewater and the study gives some inspiration for the design and construction of efficient photocatalysts.
