Hierarchical ZnO Decorated with CeO2 Nanoparticles as the Direct Z-Scheme Heterojunction for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity
Abstract
Development of a high-efficiency heterojunction with an improved photocatalytic property is regarded as a promising way to decontaminate wastewater. Herein, the direct novel Z-scheme heterojunction formed between CeO 2 nanoparticles and hierarchical ZnO was synthesized through the wet chemistry method and then the heat-treatment technique. The as-synthesized ZnO/CeO 2 composites display highly enhanced photocatalytic rhodamine B (RhB) degradation compared with pristine ZnO and CeO 2 . Specifically, ZnO/CeO 2 -3 (mass fraction of CeO 2, 30%) shows good photostability and the best removal efficiency for photodegradated RhB, which are almost 2.5 and 1.7 times than pristine ZnO and CeO 2, respectively. On the basis of the detailed characterizations and the degradation behavior of as-prepared samples over RhB, the formed heterojunction between the hierarchical ZnO and CeO 2 nanoparticles is confirmed as the direct Z-scheme heterojunction. The heterojunction system shows fast transfer, high-efficiency separation, and long lifetime of photoinduced charge carriers, as well as enhanced redox capacity. This study affords a novel approach to construct ZnO-based Z-scheme heterojunctions for the photocatalytic applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
