The Synergistic Effect of Adsorption-Photocatalysis for Removal of Organic Pollutants on Mesoporous Cu₂V₂O₇/Cu₃V₂O₈/g-C₃N₄ Heterojunction.

ABSTRACT: Cu₂V₂O₇/Cu₃V₂O₈/g-C₃N₄ heterojunctions (CVCs) were prepared successfully by the reheating synthesis method. The thermal etching process increased the specific surface area. The formation of heterojunctions enhanced the visible light absorption and improved the separation efficiency of photoinduced charge carriers. Therefore, CVCs exhibited superior adsorption capacity and photocatalytic performance in comparison with pristine g-C₃N₄ (CN). CVC-2 (containing 2 wt% of Cu₂V₂O₇/Cu₃V₂O₈) possessed the best synergistic removal efficiency for removal of dyes and antibiotics, in which 96.2% of methylene blue (MB), 97.3% of rh
