▎ 摘  要

Graphene quantum dots/Mn-N-TiO2/g-C3N4 (GQDs/TCN) composite photocatalysts have been designed, synthesized and characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, BET, and XPS. The photodegradation of organic pollutants (p-nitrophenol, diethyl phthalate and ciprofloxacin, called as 4-NP, CIP and DEP, respectively) coupled with simultaneous photocatalytic production of hydrogen was successfully achieved using the GQDs/TCN catalysts. The 5%GQDs/TCN-0.4 sample shows the best photocatalytic hydrogen production and organic pollutant degradation rate under simulated solar irradiation in the simultaneous photocatalytic oxidation and reduction system. Furthermore, the photocatalytic H-2 evolution rates in the solution of 4-NP, CIP and DEP are all larger than that in pure water system over the 5%GQDs/TCN-0.4 catalyst. And the H-2 evolution rate in the solution of 4-NP is smaller than that in the solutions of CIP and DEP. Accordingly, the photodegradation rate of 4-NP is larger than that of CIP and DEP. The analyses of density functional theory and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry indicate that some photogenerated electrons were used in the photodegradation process of 4-NP but not in that of CIP and DEP. And it leads to the photocatalytic rate of H-2 evolution in the 4-NP solution smaller than that in the solution of CIP and DEP. For the first time, the present work illuminates the photocatalytic enhancement of the GQDs/TCN-0.4 catalyst and the mechanism of the effect of different organic pollutants on photocatalytic H-2 evolution.
