Abstract

A series of zinc-based photocatalyst and bismuth-based photocatalyst were prepared. Several preparation methods and their characteristics of zinc-based photocatalyst are given. BiOIO3 nanosheets are studied systematically, which possess superior photocatalytic properties. The fabricated CSs-BiOI/BiOIO3 composites with heterostructures show the enhanced photocatalytic performance than BiOIO3. The physical and chemical properties of the as-prepared materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope , transmission electron microscopy , high resolution TEM, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller , Fourier transform infrared, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and Photoluminescence .
