Enhanced photocatalytic performance of direct Z-scheme BiOCl–g-C3N4 photocatalysts
Abstract
Novel BiOCl–g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts were synthesized by a one-step chemical bath method. The composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM), UV-visible light diffusion reflectance spectrometry (DRS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The results indicated that BiOCl was dispersed on g-C3N4 to form heterojunction structures with high specific surface areas. BiOCl–g-C3N4 showed higher photocatalytic activity than pure g-C3N4 and BiOCl for rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. The enhanced performance was induced by the high separation efficiency of photoinduced carriers. The active species trapping and quantification experiments indicated that the photoinduced charges transfer via a direct Z-scheme.

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.
