Abstract

AbstractWastewater treatment has become a research hot issue in recent decade. Organic dyes as one of the main pollutants can change the water behavior. To deracinate the organic pollutants from wastewater, there are numerous methods have been taken into consideration. Photocatalysis is the promising strategy for the dye degradation with low cost, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Hence, a novel one‐dimensional (1D) magnetic Bi2Fe4O9/C@AgBr composite photocatalyst was prepared employing electrospinning, calcination, and deposition–precipitation methods. The morphology and composition of photocatalyst were characterized, as well as the photocatalytic activities of degrading methylene blue (MB) under visible light were investigated. And the results exhibited that the efficiency of Bi2Fe4O9/C@AgBr under visible light for 60 min is 97.4%. After three cycles, the degradation efficiency of MB could still reach 88.0%. Moreover, radical quenching experiment implicated superoxide radical anions as the primary active species responsible for photodegradation of MB. This work provides a new insight into the design of effective photocatalysts for practical application.
