Abstract

In this paper, Ag nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide coupled with manganese-substituted phosphomolybdic acid composites (N-TiO2/Mn-HPMo) using photoreduction method to construct ternary photocatalysis-Fenton composite catalyst (N-TiO2/Mn-HPMo/Ag), and the degradation performance of the catalyst was evaluated with Rhodamine B (RhB) as the target pollutant. The results showed that the N-TiO2/Mn-HPMo/Ag ternary composite catalyst had remarkable visible light activity, and the degradation efficiency of RhB could reach 96.3% in 20 min under visible light. Meanwhile, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy illustrated the promotion effect of Ag deposition on the visible light response of N-TiO2/Mn-HPMo. The behavior of photogenerated charges was also characterized by Surface Photovoltage Technique, which further demonstrated that Ag deposition not only extended the light absorption range but also enhanced the separation efficiency of photogenerated charges. This work provides favorable information for the construction of efficient catalysts with high activity under visible light.
