Abstract
Abstract It's highly significant to develop a novel catalyst, which can be active at a wide range of pH, for an effective photo‐Fenton reaction. In this work, α‐FeOOH−MoO 3 nanorod was prepared by a one‐step hydrothermal method and applied in photo‐Fenton degradation of organic pollutants. Benefit from the electron migration mechanism of Z‐scheme and excellent photoelectric performance, the catalyst exhibited superior photo‐Fenton activity in degradation of organic pollutants. In addition, the catalyst holds good stability after 5 recycles. These results demonstrated that this catalyst has wide application prospect in organic wastewater treatment.
