Preparation and study on the photocatalytic mechanism of ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4 composite photocatalysts

摘要

In order to solve the disadvantages of most of the photocatalyst, ZnFe2O4 is chosen as the magnetic material and prepared ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4 composite photocatalysts. ZnFe2O4 is prepared by hydrothermal method, the ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4 is prepared by precipitation method, which supported Ag3PO4 on the surface of ZnFe2O4. The synthesis method of ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4 not only simplifies the preparation process, but also improves the photocatalytic activity by suppressing the electron-hole recombination. These methods have important significance for the function alization and stability of photocatalytic materials. Moreover, the ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4 is characterised by a series of testing means, such as SEM, XRD and EDS, etc. At the same time, this work realizes the effective control of environmental pollutants and lay the foundation for the research of organic pollution remove.
