Abstract

In this study, we modified g-C3N4 bulk by the α-Bi2O3 microrods (MRs) via simple green routes. The as-synthesized Bi2O3/g-C3N4 composite is indicated a high photoactivity in visible light region. In addition, the NO photocatalytic removal efficiency of Bi2O3/g-C3N4 composite is significantly improved compared to pure g-C3N4 materials. Herein, a 39.1% NO with a 500 ppb concentration is removed by Bi2O3/g-C3N4 composite, which is approximately 1.6 times higher than both pure α-Bi2O3 and g-C3N4 after 30 min under visible light. The NO2 conversion yield is just 6.8% that is approximately 1.7 times smaller than that of pure g-C3N4. Moreover, the stability of the Bi2O3/g-C3N4 composite is still high after 5 cycles.
