▎ 摘  要

A novel visible-light-driven 2D-2D graphene-like g-C3N4/ultrathin Bi4O5Br2 photocatalyst was prepared via a facile solvothermal method in the presence of reactable ionic liquid 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C(16)mim]Br) for the first time. FT-IR, XPS and TEM analysis results demonstrated the successful introduction of the 2D graphene-like g-C3N4 material to the Bi4O5Br2 system. DRS and BET analysis results indicated the existence of the g-C3N4 could lead to the broaden absorption edge and larger surface area of the ultrathin Bi4O5Br2 nanosheets. The electrochemical analysis implied a fast transfer of the interfacial electrons and low recombination rate of photogenerated charge carriers in g-C3N4/Bi4O5Br2, which could be assigned to the sufficient and tight contact between ultrathin Bi4O5Br2 and graphene-like g-C3N4. The quinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) was chosen as the target pollutant to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared samples under visible light irradiation. 1 wt% g-C3N4/Bi4O5Br2 composite exhibited the highest photocatalytic degradation performance among all of the as-prepared photocatalysts. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity was attributed to the maximum contact between graphene-like g-C3N4 and ultrathin Bi4O5Br2 material with matched energy band structure, which enable the efficient charge seperation. A possible photocatalytic mechanism also was proposed. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
