Construction of direct FeMoO/g-CN-2D/2D Z-scheme heterojunction with enhanced photocatalytic treatment of textile wastewater to eliminate the toxic effect in marine environment.

A novel FeMoO/g-CN-2D/2D Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared via wet chemical method. The observed structural morphology of FeMoO/g-CN reveals the 2D-iron molybdate (FeMoO) nanoplates compiled with the 2D-graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanosheets like structure. The photocatalytic activity of the g-CN, FeMoO, and FeMoO/g-CN composites were studied via the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) as targeted textile dye under visible light irradiation (VLI).

A novel S-scheme Ws/BiYWO electrostatic heterostructure for enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance towards the degradation of Rhodamine B.

Constructing S-scheme heterojunction between two semiconductor materials is an effective route to increase the photocatalytic degradation efficiency. Here, a novel S-scheme WS/BiYWO heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared by wet chemical route. At the same time, the photocatalytic degradation performance of the fabricated materials was analyzed by the degradation of Rhodamine B under visible light.

A facile synthesis of visible light driven NiVO nano-cube/BiVO nanorod composite photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic activity towards degradation of acid orange 7.

Photocatalysis is one of the promising method to degrade harmful organic pollutants under visible light exposure. In this work, a novel NiVO/BiVO nanocomposite has been prepared by one-pot hydrothermal method, and investigated through X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence techniques. Subsequently, the photocatalytic performance of NiVO/BiVO nanocomposite has been examined by degrading AO7 under visible light illumination.
