A Z-Scheme Heterojunction g-C₃N₄/WO₃ for Efficient Photodegradation of Tetracycline Hydrochloride and Rhodamine B.

ABSTRACT: The construction of heterojunctions can effectively inhibit the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes in photocatalysts and offers great potential for pollutant degradation. In this study, a Z-scheme heterojunction g-C₃N₄/WO₃ photocatalyst was synthesized using a combination of hydrothermal and calcination methods. The photocatalytic degradation performance was tested under visible light; the degradation efficiency of Rh B reached 97.9% within 15 min and that of TC-HCl reached 93.3% within 180 min. The excellent photocatalytic performance of g-C₃N₄/WO₃ composites can be attributed to the improved absorption of visible light, the increase in surface area, and the effective separation of photogenerated elec
