Abstract
A heterojunction of NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH)-Bi2MoO6 (BMO) loaded on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets was synthesized via an eco-friendly solvothermal reaction. The structural characterization shows that NiFe LDH-BMO heterojunctions are well-distributed on the surface of silk-like transparent RGO sheets. The modification of BMO by NiFe LDH and RGO greatly enhances the photocatalytic performance of BMO for degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light. The photocatalyst prepared with 3wt% RGO shows the highest activity and cycle stability. TC can be completely removed in 80min, which is about 8.7 times that pure BMO, and showing excellent reusability even after five cycles. The excellent enhancement of photocatalytic performance of NiFe LDH-BMO/RGO composite is attributed to the unique sheet-on-sheet hierarchical heterostructure combined with RGO sheets, facilitating the visible light absorption and photogenerated charge carriers separation.
