Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), characterized by their high persistency and bioaccumulation, are widely detected in the environment. In this study, high-performance g-C3N4/NiO heterojunctions were fabricated to degrade 2-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2-CDD) under ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) light illumination. Experiments revealed that the pure g-C3N4 and range of g-C3N4/NiO heterojunctions were synthesized by the mixing and heating method, and then were characterized by XRD, TEM, XPS and PL etc. The composites exhibited enhanced dechlorination activities under anoxic conditions. After comparison, the g-C3N4/NiO (4:6) showed optimal dechlorination performance such that 70.4% of 2-CDD was removed within 8 h and 52.3% of 2-CDD was transformed to dibenzo-p-dioxin (DD), about fourfold higher than the pristine g-C3N4. The transformation of 2-CDD was accompanied by the resale of Cl ion, and the additional oxygen was proven to be able to consume electrons and hydrogen ions, thus greatly inhibiting the degradation of PCDD in systems. The g-C3N4/NiO (4:6) can be reused at least seven times, and the mechanism was proposed in detail to promote photoinduced electrohole separation and provide active sites. This study extends the use range of g-C3N4/NiO heterojunctions and develops a new technology to degrade PCDDs with striking activity and stability.
