Abstract:
The g-C₃N₄-BiOBrI1- nanocomposites were successfully prepared using solvothermal methods. The obtained g-C₃N₄-BiOBrI1- composites had tunable band structures and displayed preferable photocatalytic performance for CO₂ reduction irradiated by visible light. Moreover, comparing to pure g-C3N4 and corresponding BiOBrI1-, all the obtained g-C₃N₄-BiOBrI1- nanocomposites exhibited distinctly higher activity for CO₂ reduction, with 5% g-C₃N₄-BiOBr0.25I0.75 nanocomposites displaying the best photocatalytic performance. Enhanced photocatalytic performance of g-C₃N₄-BiOBrI1- nanocomposites may arrive from their advantages of high efficiency of electron-hole separation, tunable band structures, and rapid charge transfer. Moreover, a possible visible light induced photocatalytic mechanism on g-C₃N₄-BiOBrI1- nanocomposites was further proposed.
