Synthesis of a plasmonic AgCl and oxygen-rich Bi24O31Cl10 composite heterogeneous catalyst for enhanced degradation of tetracycline and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a AgCl/Bi24O31Cl10 composite heterostructure was constructed. Varying ratios of AgCl nanoparticles were immobilised onto the Bi24O31Cl10 rod-like structure. The physical and optical properties of the synthesised catalysts were characterised using a range of techniques. The photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was investigated by the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation. The performance of the composite photocatalysts was 18 and 3.4 times better in 2-4,D and TC photodegradation when compared to Bi24O31Cl10 alone. The improved photocatalytic performance was due to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effec
