Rational Design of LDH/Zn2SnO4 Heterostructures for Efficient Mineralization of Toluene Through Boosted Interfacial Charge Separation

Ben Lei et al.

Summary: Efficient separation and transport of photo-induced charge carriers are crucial for photocatalysis. This research proposes a rational design strategy to validate this proposition by constructing LDH/Zn2SnO4 heterostructures with an interfacial structure. The interfacial charge transfer on LDH/Zn2SnO4 is greatly promoted, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the activation of reactants for toluene mineralization. The LDH/Zn2SnO4 is demonstrated as a superior photocatalyst against toluene, surpassing the individual components. This study offers a new path for the design of highly efficient photocatalysts for air purification.
