Abstract

A facile, environmentally friendly and economical in-situ ion-exchange method was successfully fabricated graphene oxide-based Ag3PO4@AgCl photocatalyst to promote the photocatalytic activity of Ag3PO4@AgCl. The as synthesized GO-Ag3PO4@AgCl composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL). The morphology and the structure of the synthesized photocatalyst were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmitter electron microscopy (TEM). The elements detection and the chemical state of the sample were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. GO-Ag3PO4@AgCl exhibited higher photocatalytic activity over Ag3PO4@AgCl and Ag3PO4 for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under simulated sunlight, and the highest photocatalytic activity was obtained by GO-Ag3PO4@AgCl photocatalyst with Cl/P ratio of 0.5. The quenching study using different scavengers investigated that the photogenerated holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (•O2-) played a key role in the degradation of RhB. The kinetic study revealed that the degradation of RhB over GO-Ag3PO4@AgCl-0.5 under simulated sunlight followed the first-order kinetics.
