The Z-scheme CdS/BiOBr heterostructure synthesized by hydrothermal method exhibited enhanced photocatalytic performance in degrading Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Rhodamine B (RhB), and Tetracycline (TC) under visible light. The improvement can be attributed to extended visible light absorption and the Z-scheme photo-generated carriers' transfer route.
Z-scheme CdS/BiOBr heterostructure was synthesized by hydrothermal method and demonstrated an enhanced photocatalytic performance in degrading Ciprofloxacin (CIP) of 90% within 120 min under visible light irradiation. Meanwhile, the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Tetracycline (TC) are tested when we explored the optimal synthesis time of BiOBr and proportion of heterostructure. The enhancement of photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the extended visible light absorption as well as the Z-scheme photo-generated carriers' transfer route.
