Abstract

In this work, AgBr/LaFeO3 (ALFO) Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by simple in-situ precipitation method, and photocatalysis was coupled with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to remove acid orange 7 (AO7) by enhanced electron transfer. The Z-scheme heterojunction between AgBr and LaFeO3 provides the driving force for charge transfer and improves the charge separation rate. At the same time, PMS can act as an electron acceptor to promote photogenerated charge separation and maximize the generation of reactive oxygen species. The obtained results showed that the prepared ALFO photocatalyst has excellent reusability and excellent AO7 removal efficiency. This work successfully demonstrated the synergistic effect of ALFO photocatalyst, promoted light utilization and PMS activation, and provided a potential application prospect for effectively reducing environmental pollution by using solar energy.
