摘要： Construction of heterojunction photocatalyst with excellent charge separation has attracted significant attention for solving the global energy crisis and environmental problems. Herein, a series of sandwich-structured BiOI/AgI/g-C3N4 composites were fabricated by a novel and facile method. The AgI was employed as a charge transmission bridge between BiOI and g-C3N4, which could result in more efficient charge transfer and better separation of charge carriers. The results indicated that the BiOI/AgI/g-C3N4 composites exhibited higher photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and reduction of Cr(VI) than that of pure g-C3N4, BiOI, and BiOI/g-C3N4. The amount of AgI had a remarkable influence on the photocatalytic activity of the BiOI/AgI/g-C3N4 composites. Moreover, the BiOI/AgI/g-C3N4 composites exhibited high stability. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism on degradation of MO and reduction of Cr(VI) solutions over the composites was proposed. This work could facilitate a better understanding on the charge transfer process in the composite systems as well as provide a new approach to the rational design of novel advanced materials for practical photocatalytic application.
