BiOI/Bi4O5I2 heterojunction photocatalysts were prepared by in-situ crystallization. The influence of the heterostructure on the photocatalyst was investigated by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, UV-vis DRS and PL characterization. The photocatalytic performance of the sample was evaluated by the photocatalytic removal rate of Hg-0 under visible-light irradiation. The results show that BiOI-390 exhibits the best photocatalytic performance. It can be attributed to the construction of heterostructures, which inhibits the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Based on characterization and experiments, a reasonable Z-scheme charge transfer and photocatalytic reaction mechanism were proposed. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
