Abstract
WO3@MoS2/Ag (HW@MA) hollow tubes were successfully engineered to photodegrade bisphenol A (BPA) combined with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the first time. XRD, XPS, TEM and SEM were conducted. The HW@MA tubes present excellent photocatalytic performance on the removal of BPA. The intermediate products of BPA were investigated by GC-MS analysis and the degradation pathway was proposed. To explore the transferred mechanism of photoproduced carriers, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique was carried out. The results revealed that the superoxide radical (O2−), hydroxyl radical (OH), sulfate radical (SO4−) were the main active radicals. Moreover, the formed schottky junctions enhanced the separation efficiency of photoinduced electron-hole pairs. Besides, the effect of the photocatalysts’ dosage, PMS concentration, pH of the initial solution and co-existing anions on the BPA degradation were investigated.
