Abstract
, which were greater by 4.5 and 5.6 times in comparison with that of pure BOB and AMO, respectively. Based on the experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results, it is proposed that the Z-scheme carrier transfer/separation mechanism dominates the enhanced photodegradation performance of the composite photocatalysts. Additionally, the potential application of AMO/BOB photocatalysts in degrading various organic pollutants (including organic dyes, antibiotics and other serious organic pollutants) was also investigated.
