Efficient photo-Fenton Schottky catalysts were designed and fabricated by facile electrostatic self-assembly of metallic Fe2N nanoparticles on red g-C3N4 surface, which provided more active sites and facilitated photoexcited charge separation. Fe2N as an efficient co-catalyst in the photo-Fenton process was beneficial for Fe3+/Fe2+ transformation and H2O2 activation, leading to outstanding catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts.
The traditional heterogeneous photo-Fenton reaction was mainly restricted by the fewer surface-active sites, low Fe3+/Fe2+ transformation and H2O2 activation efficiency of catalyst. This work designed and fabricated the efficient photo-Fenton Schottky catalysts via a facile electrostatic self-assembly of metallic Fe2N nanoparticles scattering on the surface of red g-C3N4 (ultrathin porous oxygen-doped 2D g-C3N4 nanosheets). The porous morphology and exceptional electrical structure of red g-C3N4 endowed more active sites and facilitated the photoexcited charge separation. Benefitting from the Schottky effect and unique dimensional coupling structure, the strong visible light absorption and fast spatial charge transfer were realized in the Schottky junction system. More strikingly, Fe2N as an efficient co-catalyst was in favor of the trap and export of e(-), leading to the Fe3+/Fe2+ transformation and H2O2 activation during the photo-Fenton process. Accordingly, the as-prepared catalysts revealed outstanding activity in photo-Fenton like degradation of tetracycline (TC) although under 5 W white LED light irradiation. Furthermore, the reasonable degradation pathway of TC and corresponding toxicity of the intermediates, as well as the photo-Fenton catalytic mechanism were interpreted and discussed in detail. This study would be a great aid in the development of various Schottky catalysts for heterogeneous photo-Fenton-based environmental remediation systems. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
