Room-temperature solid phase surface engineering of BiOI sheets stacking g-C3N4 boosts photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)

Xin Zhang et al.

Summary: The pollution caused by Cr(VI)-based compounds has attracted global concern due to its serious harm to humans and the environment. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an effective technique to eliminate Cr(VI) in water. In this study, a BiOI/g-C3N4 (BCN) direct Z-scheme heterojunction was prepared by in-situ growing BiOI on graphitic carbon nitride using a solid phase engineering method at room temperature. The experimental results showed that the photocatalytic activity of pure BiOI was significantly enhanced by constructing the Z-scheme BCN heterostructure. The BCN-3 heterostructure exhibited the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency of RhB with a yield of 98% for 2.5 hours and a reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) with a yield of over 99% for 1.5 hours at pH 1/4 2. The stability test demonstrated that BCN-3 still maintained over 98% reduction efficiency after 6 cycles. Additionally, the reduction mechanism was investigated, which revealed that $O2 radicals played a crucial role in reducing Cr(VI) in aqueous solution under illumination. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and free radical trapping experiments verified the direct Z-scheme charge transfer path. This study provides a new approach to design photocatalyst heterostructures for the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III).
