Rhombohedral/Cubic In₂O₃ Phase Junction Hybridized with Polymeric Carbon Nitride for Photodegradation of Organic Pollutants.

ABSTRACT: In recent studies, phase junctions constructed as photocatalysts have been found to possess great prospects for organic degradation with visible light. In this study, we designed an elaborate rhombohedral corundum/cubic In₂O₃ phase junction (named MIO) combined with polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) via an in situ calcination method. The performance of the MIO/PCN composites was measured by photodegradation of Rhodamine B under LED light (λ = 420 nm) irradiation. The excellent performance of MIO/PCN could be attributed to the intimate interface contact between MIO and PCN, which provides a reliable charge transmission channel, thereby improving the separation efficiency of charge carriers. Photocatalytic degradation experiments with different quenchers were also executed
