Molecules 2024; 29:4196. [PMID: 39275044 PMCID: PMC11397078 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29174196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of efficient and environmentally friendly photocatalysts is crucial for addressing global energy and environmental challenges. Perylene diimide, an organic supramolecular material, holds great potential for applications in mineralized phenol. In this study, through the integration of different mass ratios of unmodified perylenimide (PDI-NH) into the self-assembly of amino acid-substituted perylenimide (PDI-COOH), a novel supramolecular organic heterojunction (PDICOOH/PDINH) was fabricated. The ensuing investigation focuses on its visible-light mineralized phenol properties. The results show that the optimal performance is observed with a composite mass fraction of 10%, leading to complete mineralization of 5 mg/L phenol within 5 h. The reaction exhibits one-stage kinetics with rate constants 13.80 and 1.30 times higher than those of PDI-NH and PDI-COOH, respectively. SEM and TEM reveal a heterogeneous interface between PDI-NH and PDI-COOH. Photoelectrochemical and Kelvin probe characterization confirm the generation of a built-in electric field at the interface, which is 1.73 times stronger than that of PDI-COOH. The introduction of PDI-NH promotes π-π stacking of PDI-COOH, while the built-in electric field facilitates efficient charge transfer at the interface, thereby enhancing phenol decomposition. The finding demonstrates that supramolecular heterojunctions have great potential as highly effective photocatalysts for environmental remediation applications.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 326:116615.

Abstract
Novel ZnS-Cu7S4 nanohybrid supported on chitosan matrix, as an ideal photocatalyst, was fabricated by the sonochemical method wherein high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the co-existence of both ZnS and Cu7S4; presence of vacancy sites in ZnS was verified by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis and their introduction could promote two-photon excitation facilitated visible light response and charge transport/separation. The type II interface is formed in the ZnS-Cu7S4/Chitosan heterojunction owing to interstitial states that promote charge separation. The ZnS-Cu7S4/Chitosan was used for the photodegradation of a pharmaceutical pollutant, p-chlorophenol (PCP); over 98.8% of PCP photodegradation was achieved under visible-light irradiation where the ensued ·O2- and ·OH serve a key role in the photodegradation of PCP. In vitro cytotoxicity studies substantiated that the ZnS-Cu7S4/Chitosan is nontoxic to the ecosystem and human beings and endowed with promising photodegradation properties and accessibility via an environmentally friendly design, bodes well for its potential remediation applications.

Abstract
Organic matters from various sources such as the manufacturing, agricultural, and pharmaceuticals industries is continuously discharged into water bodies, leading to increasingly serious water pollution. Photocatalytic technology is a clean and green advanced oxidation process, that can successfully decompose various organic pollutants into small inorganic molecules such as carbon dioxide and water under visible light irradiation. Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) is an attractive visible light photocatalyst with good photocatalytic performance, suitable forbidden bandwidth, and a unique layered structure. However, the rapid combination of the electron-hole pairs generated in BiOBr leads to low photocatalytic activity, which limits its photocatalytic performance. Due to its unique electronic structure, BiOBr can be coupled with a variety of different functional materials to improve its photocatalytic performance. In this paper, We present the morphologically controllable BiOBr and its preparation process with the influence of raw materials, additives, solvents, synthesis methods, and synthesis conditions. Based on this, we propose design synthesis considerations for BiOBr-based nanocomplexes in four aspects: structure, morphology and crystalline phase, reduction of electron-hole pair complexation, photocorrosion resistance, and scale-up synthesis. The literature on BiOBr-based nanocomposites in the last 10 years (2012-2022) are summarized into seven categories, and the mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic activity of BiOBr-based nanocomposites is reviewed. Moreover, the applications of BiOBr-based nanocomposites in the fields of degradation of dye wastewater, antibiotic wastewater, pesticide wastewater, and phenol-containing wastewater are reviewed. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of BiOBr-based nanocomposites are briefly described. In general, this paper reviews the construction of BiOBr-based nanocomposites, the mechanism of photocatalytic activity enhancement and its research status and application prospects in the degradation of organic pollutants.

[PMID: 35278457 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Photo-induced holes (h+) oxidation is an efficient approach for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA; C7F15COOH) removal. To maintain a high amount of h+ on the surface of photocatalysts participating in the PFOA photodegradation could be a critical issue. Herein, a highly efficient spherical BiOBr-modified nano-TiO2 (P25) was synthesised and used for PFOA photodegradation through direct oxidation with h+. A high number of h+ could be generated and remain on the surface of P25/BiOBr due to the appropriate position of the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) levels between P25 and BiOBr. Meanwhile, PFOA molecules were coordinated to the P25/BiOBr's surface via unidentate binding, being directly activated and oxidised by h+, resulting in a decomposition yield of 99.5% (100 mg/L) under simulated solar light irradiation within 100 min, at the initial pH condition (3.5). A stepwise photodegradation pathway was proposed due to the significant intermediates detected as the short-chain perfluorinated carboxylic acids (C2-C7). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, scavenging and trapping analysis indicated that the direct oxidation on h+ followed PFOA degradation. In a real aqueous environment of Tangxun lake (adjusted pH 3.5), stable common anions and natural organic matter (NOM) would restrain the PFOA photodegradation. However, adding 10 mg/L of NO3- or HA could reduce the inhibition effect of PFOA photodegradation. These findings gave an alternative strategy to drive an h+ directly oxidation to treat PFOA contaminated water bodies.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 807:151006.

Abstract
p-chlorophenol (p-CP), one of the highly toxic chlorinated organic compounds, is recalcitrant in conventional biodegradation process. This study reported a synergistic degradation protocol of 3D semiconductor-microbe interfaces, in which graphite felts (GF) and CdS/g-C3N4 nanocomposites were chosen as the carrier and semiconductor for enhanced p-CP degradation. Based on microstructure, photoelectrochemical and degradation performance analysis, the optimal CdS content in CdS/g-C3N4 nanocomposites was 10 wt%. The efficiencies of p-CP and TOC removal in bio-photodegradation system were as high as 95% and 77% without extra electron acceptors/donors, which were far better than those in traditional photodegradation and biodegradation system. High-throughput sequencing analysis suggested that p-CP degradation related species (Chryseobacterium, Stenotrophomonas and Rhodopseudomonas), electroactive species (Chryseobacterium, Stenotrophomonas, Hydrogenophaga and Cupriavidus) and hydrogen-utilizing species (Hydrogenophaga and Cupriavidus) were enriched at 3D semiconductor-microbe interfaces. The enrichment of functional species played a crucial role for p-CP removal and mineralization at 3D semiconductor-microbe interfaces. Moreover, the mechanism of enhanced p-CP bio-photodegradation at 3D semiconductor-microbe interfaces was investigated by utilizing Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States 2 (PICRUSt2). The results showed that the genes involved in p-CP biodegradation, hydrogen metabolism and extracellular electron transfer were remarkably enriched. Possible mechanism for enhancement of p-CP degradation in bio-photodegradation system was proposed, in which photocatalytic H2 and photoelectron transfer played an important role for enhancing p-CP mineralization by microbes. 3D semiconductor-microbe interfaces could maintain excellent performance for p-CP degradation after long-term operation, which provide a potential alternative for the enhanced treatment of wastewater containing p-CP.

Abstract
In the present study, photodegradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) using a step-scheme BiVO4/WO3 heterostructure under visible LED light irradiation (Vis LED) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The photocatalyst was synthesized through the hydrothermal process and characterized physically and chemically via X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Brunnauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. The effects of the operational parameters i.e., solution pH, contact time, nanocomposite dosage, and initial 4-CP concentration were evaluated. Results indicated that BiVO4/WO3/Vis LED process has higher efficiency in 4-CP degradation than BiVO4/Vis LED, WO3/Vis LED, and BiVO4/WO3 systems. At BiVO4/WO3 concentration of 0.125 g/L, initial pH of 7, and initial 4-CP concentration of 25 mg/L, complete degradation of 4-CP (>97%) was achieved in reaction time of 60 min. The phenol, chlorobenzene, catechol, 4-chlorocatechol, 5-chloro-1,2,4-benzenetriol, hydroquinone, hydroxyhydroquinone, p-benzoquinone, o-benzoquinone, formic acid, acetic acid, and oxalic acid were identified as the major intermediates of 4-CP degradation. In optimal condition, 67.5% and 88.5% of TOC and COD removal rates were obtained in 120 min contact time, respectively. The degradation of 4-CP was pseudo-first-order kinetics. Through the use of tert-Butyl alcohol (TBA) and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as radical scavengers, hydroxyl radicals and holes were identified as the main active species in photocatalytic degradation. Also, a tentative pathway for 4-CP degradation using the Vis LED/BiVO4/WO3 process was proposed.

Flowerlike BiOCl nanospheres fabricated by an in situ self-assembly strategy for efficiently enhancing photocatalysis. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 607:423-430.

Abstract
For semiconductor-based photocatalytic reactions, defect engineering has been proven as an efficient approach to enhance the photocatalytic performance. In this work, a synergistically PVP/EG-assisted in situ self-assembly strategy has been successfully developed for preparing flowerlike BiOCl nanospheres (NSP) assembled by ultrathin nanosheets (thickness of 3.8 nm) with abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs). During the hydrothermal process, PVP plays a template role in controlling the orientation of the crystallite growth, leading to the forming of nanosheets. Meanwhlie, ethylene glycol would induce the self-assembly of nanosheets into a loose hierarchical architecture duo to its stereo-hindrance effect. NSP achieves a twice higher photocatalytic conversion of benzylamine than BiOCl nanosheets (NST) under visible light. XPS, ESR, NH3-TPD results manifest that NSP possesses more active sites including OVs and unsaturated Bi atoms than NST, because of avoiding the accumulation of ultrathin nanosheets. In situ FTIR reveals that benzylamine molecules can be chemisorbed and activated on BiOCl interfaces via forming -N…Bi- species. The OVs can facilitate the forming of superoxide radicals (•O2-), achieving the selective photooxidation. Finally, a possible synergetic mechanism based on the interaction of reactants and catalyst interfaces was proposed to illustrate the photocatalytic process at the molecular level.

Abstract
Ag/NaBiO3 with dual active sites and high capacitance was prepared by the photo-deposition method. Upon light illumination, the reduction of Ag+ to Ag, the introduction of oxygen vacancies, and the electron storage in Ag nanoparticles simultaneously happened. NO, and O2 adsorbed and activated at Ag site and oxygen vacancy site, respectively, to produce active ON* and •O2- radical species. The increased concentrations of the active oxygen species and the pre-oxidation of NO resulted in the enhanced NO removal with inhibited production of NO2. Moreover, the high capacitance of Ag and the continuous charge transfer from defective NaBiO3 to Ag offered the enhanced and long-lasting dark catalytic activity of the Ag/NaBiO3. The stored electrons in Ag were directly released in dark to decompose methyl orange and/or tetracycline. This work provides a novel idea of designing and preparing a multifunctional catalytic material for environmental cleaning.

Abstract
Photocatalytic oxidation using solar energy is a promising green technology to degrade antibiotic contaminants. Herein, a 2D g-C3N4 supported nanoflower-like NaBiO3 with direct Z-scheme heterojunction was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal approach, and the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4/NaBiO3 was remarkable better than that of g-C3N4 and NaBiO3 for tetracycline degradation under visible light. Photoinduced electrons accumulated on the conduction band of g-C3N4 and holes gathered on the valence band of NaBiO3, which was more suitable for generating superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Meanwhile, the built-in electric field between g-C3N4 and NaBiO3 was proved by their different work functions based on DFT calculations, which enhanced the charges separation. The formed radicals were determined by ESR, and their role in the degradation of tetracycline was examined by the active species trapping test. Moreover, the sites attacked by free radicals and degradation pathways for tetracycline were inferred by the results of Gaussian 09 program and HPLC-MS. The effects of water matrix and three other organic contaminants was further studied for actual use evaluation. Importantly, the prepared g-C3N4/NaBiO3 showed stable photodegradation activity for eight cycles. This work not only provides a promising photocatalyst, but also gets insight into the photocatalytic removal of tetracycline.

J Environ Sci (China) 2021; 99:100-109.

Abstract
In this study, different carbon quantum dots (CQDs)/NaBiO3 hybrid materials were synthesized as photocatalysts to effectively utilize visible light for the photocatalytic degradation of contaminants effectively. These hybrid materials exhibit an enhanced photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in the aqueous medium. Zero-dimensional nanoparticles of CQDs were embedded within the two-dimensional NaBiO3 nanosheets by the hydrothermal process. Compared with that of the pure NaBiO3 nanosheets, the photocatalytic performance of the hybrid catalysts was significantly high and 6 wt.% CQDs/NaBiO3 catalyst exhibited better photocatalytic performance. We performed the first-principles density functional theory calculations to study the interfacial properties of pure NaBiO3 nanosheets and hybrid photocatalysts, and confirmed the CQDs played an important role in the CQDs/NaBiO3 composites. The experimental results indicated that the enhanced reduction of Cr(VI) was probably due to the high loading of CQDs (electron acceptor) on NaBiO3, which made NaBiO3 nanomaterials to respond in visible light and significantly improved their electron-hole separation efficiency.

Abstract
Effective treatment of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in wastewater is essential, as it could pose great threat to the environment. A hydrothermal biochar (hydrochar) was used to assist the electrochemical oxidation treatment of 2,4-DCP. The removal of 2,4-DCP using hydrochar in anode and cathode area with and without proton exchange membrane (PEM) under 3-9 V of electrolysis was investigated. Enhanced 2,4-DCP degradation in the anode area was achieved compared with the adsorption or electrolysis alone. The highest 2,4-DCP removal (∼76%) was obtained using the hydrochar in the anode area with PEM under 9 V. The mechanism for the 2,4-DCP removal during the electrolysis included adsorption by hydrochar and electrochemical degradation by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the electrode as well as the persistent free radicals (PFR) on hydrochar. The OH produced from anode was the predominant ROS contributing to the 2,4-DCP degradation under 9 V of electrolysis.

Abstract
Sulfite is recently found to be promising in enhancing photocatalytic pollutants degradation, which is a byproduct from flue gas desulfuration process. Herein, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) photodegradation was systematically investigated in a sulfite mediated system with g-C3N4 as photocatalyst. The degradation efficacy was improved by about 3 times with addition of 25 mM Na2SO3. The dominant responsible reactive oxygen species for chlorophenols remediation in the presence of sulfite included O2·-, SO3·-, and SO4·- as confirmed by radical quenching experiments and electron spin resonances technology. In-situ DRIFTs results indicated the improved cleavage of CCl and CH bonds with the simultaneous formation of CO and CC bonds when bisulfite was added. Degradation intermediates such as 4-chlorocatechol, hydroquinone, and muconic acid were detected by HPLC-MS. Furthermore, the photodegradation mechanisms of 4-CP were tentatively discussed . Other chlorophenols (phenol, 2-CP, 2,4-DCP, and their mixture) were also efficiently removed in the system, suggesting that sulfite could be universally applied in photocatalytic wastewater purification.

Abstract
In this study, rice straw was used to prepare biomass carbon, which was modified with KOH and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to obtain modified biomass carbon (MBC). The biomass carbon (BC) before and after modification was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and the surface morphology, crystal structure and surface group characteristic BC were explored. The specific surface area and micropores of the modified biomass carbon increased significantly, the crystallinity was higher, and the pore structure was more clearly found. The adsorption performance of MBC for 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) was investigated. The results showed that under the best adsorption conditions ((2,4-DCP concentration (200 mg/L), MBC dosage (50 mg), pH (5.5), and loading time (60 min), temperature (room temperature)), the removal rate of 2,4-DCP was up to 42.5%, and adsorption capacity was 85.13 mg/g. The adsorption of 2,4-DCP on MBC materials was better explained by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. It was believed that the adsorption of 2,4-DCP by MBC was the monolayer adsorption process on the uniform surface of MBC at high concentration, and there was no interaction between the 2,4-DCP and MBC adsorbate during this process.

Abstract
Nano zero-valent iron (NZVI) is widely used for reducing chlorinated organic pollutants in water. However, the stability of the particles will affect the removal rate of the contaminant. In order to enhance the stability of nano zero-valent iron (NZVI), the particles were modified with F-127 as an environmentally friendly organic stabilizer. The study investigated the effect of the F-127 mass ratio on the colloidal stability of NZVI. Results show that the sedimentation behavior of F-NZVI varied at different mass ratios. A biphasic model was used to describe the two time-dependent settling processes (rapid sedimentation followed by slower settling), and the settling rates were calculated. The surface morphology of the synthesized F-NZVI was observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the functional groups of the samples were analyzed with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Results show that the F-127 was successfully coated on the surface of the NZVI, and that significantly improved the stability of NZVI. Finally, in order to optimize the removal rate of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) by F-NZVI, three variables were tested: the initial concentration 2,4-DCP, the pH, and the F-NZVI dosage. These were evaluated with a Box-Behnken Design (BBD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The experiments were designed by Design Expert software, and the regression model of fitting quadratic model was established. The following optimum removal conditions were determined: pH = 5, 3.5 g·L−1 F-NZVI for 22.5 mg·L−1 of 2,4-DCP.

Abstract
In this study, a novel 0D/2D WS2/BiOBr heterostructured photocatalyst with rich oxygen vacancies was fabricated by a hydrothermal method. The WS2 QDs/BiOBr-10 heterostructures exhibited a maximum removal rate of 92% towards ciprofloxacin (CIP) within 100 min under visible-light irradiation, which was 2.63- and 2.02- folds higher activity than that of pristine BiOBr and WS2 QDs/BiOBr-10 with poor oxygen vacancies, respectively. In addition, the removal efficiencies of this photocatalyst towards various pollutants were 99% (Lanasol Red 5B), 95% (Rhodamine B), 85% (metronidazole), 96% (tetracycline) and 41% (Bisphenol A), respectively. Besides, the simultaneous photocatalytic degradation showed the competitive interactions between these organic contaminants for the active species, decreasing the removal efficiency for CIP. However, the simultaneous photocatalytic oxidation of CIP and reduction of Cr(VI) improved the utilization efficiency of photo-induced electrons and holes, resulting in high removal efficiencies for both CIP and Cr(VI). Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectra (3D EEMs) were used to investigate the degradation of CIP molecules. The synergistic effect of heterostructure and oxygen vacancies greatly assisted in the removal of organic pollutants, attributing to the enhanced visible-light harvesting and effective separation of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. Furthermore, trapping experiments and ESR results demonstrated that the CIP removal was dominated by the direct oxidation of holes (h+), whereas the hydroxyl radicals (OH) and superoxide radicals (O2-) acted as auxiliary active species. This study provides a new way to rationally design and construct active 0D/2D pattern heterojunction photocatalysts for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Chlorinated compounds in a water environment pose serious threats to humanity. A nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) has desirable properties for water dichlorination, but its reactivity is still limited by agglomeration and oxidation. In this study, the mesoporous carbon (MC) derived from biomass waste was prepared for immobilizing nZVI, and the nZVI@MC was further modified by sulfur (S-nZVI@MC) to relieve surface oxidation. The synergistic effect between nZVI and surface modification, the reaction conditions and the removal mechanism were investigated systematically. The characterization results showed nZVI was successfully loaded on the surface of MC, and the aggregation of nZVI was prevented. Moreover, sulfidation modification resulted in the formation of FeS on the surface of nZVI, which effectively alleviated surface oxidation of nZVI and promoted the electron transfer. Batch experiments demonstrated S-nZVI@MC had greatly enhanced reactivity towards 2,4,6-trichlorphenol (TCP) as compared to MC and nZVI, and the removal rate could reach 100%, which was mainly attributed to the significant synergistic effect of MC immobilization and sulfidation modification. Furthermore, the TCP removal process was well described by a Langmuir adsorption model and pseudo-second-order model. The possible mechanism for enhanced removal of TCP is the fast adsorption onto S-nZVI@MC and effective reduction by S-nZVI. Therefore, with excellent reducing activity and antioxidation, S-nZVI@MC has the potential as a pollutant treatment.

Abstract
Herein, an efficient broad-spectrum WS2/BiOBr heterostructure with ultrathin nanosheet was successfully prepared by one-pot hydrothermal route. The self-assembled flower-like WS2/BiOBr nanostructure was formed by few-layer WS2 and BiOBr nanosheets. The optimized heterojunction presented broad-spectrum high-efficiency photocatalytic activity towards the removal of various pollutants under visible-light irradiation, including organic dyes, antibiotics and phenols. This efficiency was linked to high light harvesting combined with effective charge separation/transfer. Meanwhile, the degradation efficiencies varied with nature of the pollutant decreased in the following order: LR5B (99%) > MNZ (97%) > TC (92%) > OTC (92%) > RhB (90%) > CIP (83%) > MB (78%) > MO (62%) > bisphenol (42%) > phenol (40%). The photocatalytic process of ciprofloxacin was explored, and the results indicated that high ciprofloxacin concentrations, low pH values and elevated concentrations of ions (PO43-, HPO42-, H2PO4-, and Cu2+) restrained the photocatalytic performances. Trapping experiments and ESR revealed the significant contribution of holes (h+) in the mechanism, where both superoxide radicals (O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) acted as assistants. Overall, this work could offer a new protocol for the design of highly efficient heterostructure photocatalysts for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Currently, there is an urgent demand for developing new materials to remove antibiotics in the water environment, especially for the simultaneous degradation of multiple antibiotics. Here, we fabricated a novel Bi/BiOBr heterostructure via an in situ solvothermal strategy, and it exhibited excellent visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activity for synchronously removing multiple antibiotics coexisting in water. The Bi nanoparticles could extend the light absorption spectra of the sample and further facilitate electron-hole pair separation. The in-depth electron spin resonance (ESR) results confirm that the active species in Bi/BiOBr are holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (·O2 -) under irradiation, and it is also proved that Bi could selectively reduce the formation of ·O2 - in the BiOBr matrix. The coexisting system of TC (tetracycline hydrochloride), CIP (ciprofloxacin) and DOX (doxycycline) could be simultaneously photodegraded to approximately 0% within 30 min by the Bi/BiOBr photocatalyst.

Abstract
In this study, a new ternary AgBiO3/GO/NCDs composite (GO = graphene oxide, NCDs = nitrogen-doped carbon dots) has been successfully prepared through in-situ growth of flower-like AgBiO3 on GO/NCDs complex support. The AgBiO3/GO/NCDs composite exhibits significantly enhanced degradation activities towards organic pollutants of rhodamine B, phenol and tetracycline. Especially, the refractory tetracycline (20 mg L-1) can be completely removed within 6.0 min with a dosage of 30 mg of AgBiO3/GO/NCDs under the assistance of peroxymonosulfate (PMS, 0.2 mM). It is revealed that GO in the composite can facilitate the quick and efficient electron transfer and improve the generation of reactive oxygen species during the degradation process, while the NCDs may play double roles as both the electron-acceptor and the reactive site. Besides, the electrons can be captured by PMS to produce plenty of sulfate radicals (SO4-) with very strong oxidation ability. All these factors collaboratively promote the degradation efficiency of AgBiO3/GO/NCDs towards organic pollutants. The excellent degradation activities of AgBiO3/GO/NCDs endow it with potential application in wastewater purification.

Abstract
Via an ultrasonic-assisted in-situ etching method, BiOBr modified Bi2O2CO3 microstructures were fabricated in short time. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, UV-Vis, XPS and PL spectra methods. Rhodamine B (RhB) aqueous solution was applied to evaluate the photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared samples. The results showed that the sample prepared at pH of 2 in which the molar ratio of BiOBr and Bi2O2CO3 was 0.69:1 had the largest specific surface area, the best utilization for ultraviolet and visible light and efficient separation efficiency of charge carriers, contributing to its best photocatalytic activity. O2- was proved to be main active species in RhB photodegradation process. Last, the photocatalytic mechanism of the composite was discussed in detail.
