Highly efficient In₂S₃/WO₃ photocatalysts: Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism for enhanced photocatalytic water pollutant degradation under visible light irradiation.

ABSTRACT: A Z-scheme system In₂S₃/WO₃ heterojunction was fabricated via a mild hydrothermal method and further applied for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TCH) and Rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light irradiation. The morphological structure, chemical composition and optical properties were studied by XRD, SEM, HRTEM and UV-visible absorption spectra. The results revealed that In₂S₃/WO₃ hierarchical structures were successfully constructed, and the prepared In₂S₃/WO₃ photocatalysts exhibited enhanced visible-light absorption compared to pure WO₃ nanorods, which are essential to improve the photocatalytic performance. The degradation rate of TCH using the In₂S<
