Zusammenfassung: | In this work, we report a novel 2D/2D InVO4/BiVO4 heterojunction nanocomposite constructed through a simple hydrothermal approach. The morphological analysis demonstrated that BiVO4 nanoflakes to be anchored on the surface of InVO4 nanosheets. The InVO4/BiVO4 heterojunction nanocomposite displayed increased light absorption promoting their visible light harvesting. The photoactivity of the prepared InVO4/BiVO4 heterojunction was explored for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under light treatment. InVO4/BiVO4 heterojunction exhibited superior photocatalytic activity than that of bare InVO4 and BiVO4. The as-prepared InVO4/BiVO4 heterojunction photoanodes achieved a higher photocurrent density of 60 μA/cm2 under illumination in 0.5 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. The enhanced photoelectrochemical performance is attributed to the synergistic effect and interface formation between InVO4 and BiVO4 and can effectively promote the charge separation and transfer of photoinduced carriers in heterojunction. |
